Cinemarvel keeps up when exploring the power of union in the new fantastic quartet

Three months after the launch of Thunderbolts*one of the best recent productions in the Marvel (MCU) cinematic universe, the franchise is back with a new chapter, Fantastic Four: First Stepsthat not only carries the weight of introducing the long-awaited Fantastic Family into the universe established over two decades, but also helping you recover from the decay that has been falling in recent years.

In the news, Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby, Napoleon), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn, Stranger Things) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The bear) It is the heroes of the Earth-828, who acquired the powers of elasticity, invisibility, control of fire and superhuman force, respectively, after an unsuccessful mission in space.

However, when Fantastic family It is confronted with the threat of the space godGalactus (RALPH INSON, The witch) and its enigmatic herald, the Silver surfer (Julia Garner, Ozark). In a land that, contrary to what we have known and followed about 15 years ago, seems lacking in superheroes, the responsibility of saving the planet falls on the group that, once worshiped, turns into a tormentor by refusing to pay the high price charged by the world devourer.

Fantastic Four: First Steps It stands out, at first, for dedicating very little space to present the group. After all, after 36 films released at Marvel’s Cinematographic Universo – and only in the franchise, not to mention the productions of 20th Century Fox, including three films about the Fantastic quartetand Sony Pictures – no one falls into such a session, right?

With this decision, the news makes room to explore the family as a whole, but also individually. Except for Ben Grimmthe Thingwhich ends up with a weak plot about his appearance and difficulties since he acquired his powers, we enter the head of Reed Richardsthe Mr. Fantásticoto understand your difficulty in dealing with the responsibility you assumed not only as a hero, but also as a father; We witness the force of Sue Storma Invisible womanwhich is able to risk one’s life for a greater good; And we find that Johnny Stormthe Human torchIt has more intelligence and heart than it makes it seem.

However, it is not one, it is not two, or three, but four heroes – friends, family, loves – who make the Fantastic quartet what he is. It is together – and only in this way – that the group can deal with the responsibility of saving all the inhabitants of the earth without sacrificing itself in the process, dealing with all adversities and, especially, unpredictables of its difficult mission against Galactuswhich comes with the strength of villains as Thanos (Josh Brolin, Deadpool 2) and Kang, the conqueror (Jonathan Majors, Lovecraft country), and works to show the strength of Fantastic family Like a group, besides yielding one of the most exciting scenes in the franchise to this day, which has placed the cinema in complete silence.

In addition to history, the universe built by Matt Shakman. Responsible for Wandavision (2021), in which he plunged into the universe of Sitcoms to work the history of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), the filmmaker created a New Retrofuturist York, mixing a sixtive style with futuristic technology, which refers to the other family of pop culture: the Jetsons, from the homonymous animation released in the 1960s, adding a welcome nostalgia to the novelty.

Finally, Fantastic Four: First Steps It also works on another issue charged hard by Marvel fans in recent years: the special effects. Here, care seems to have been doubled and, although not perfect, the film surpasses amateur work seen in productions like Black widow(2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(2022) and Thor: Love and Thunder(2022).

It is understandable that, by this time, the disbelief in Marvel news is giant, but the new Fantastic quartet It’s an opportunity to see the franchise out of the trap she herself created for herself: while worrying about pleasing to fans, Fantastic Four: First Steps It is a movie that walks with its own legs.

He embraces the commitment to (re) independently present this long -awaited new group of heroes – without falling into the doldrums to scrutinize their details once again – and explores the concept of “Union makes the strength”a cliche that, in the future, promises to be important to the team and their multiversal colleagues in confrontation against the Doctor Destination (Robert Downey Jr.the old Iron -man) in Avengers: Doomsdayscheduled for 2026, and Avengers: Secret Warswhich should arrive in 2027 to end the Multiverse saga.

After Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four: First Steps It’s another Marvel hit. That this curve remains on the rise.
