First Steps introduces plenty of characters to the MCU, but its strongest one isn't Galactus or Franklin Richards.

First Steps has a sneaky tribute to the creators of Marvel's first family, as well as a nod to Marvel's in-universe comic book.

Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal star as married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm in 'The Fantastic Four: The First Steps.' The duo reveal their characters' wedding song and how they grew close amid filming the latest Marvel film.

In a major change to her original comics lore, Marvel reveals that in the MCU, Invisible Woman's powers are undergoing a rewrite..

As written, Sue is a somewhat thankless character, but Kirby manages to add depth to the Invisible Woman with subtle performance choices.

This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.
