Marvel is currently hard at work with the production of Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the marketing has been pretty secretive so far. Fans have to resort to leaks online just to get a look at the movie, and some new set photos from UK give a look at the Human Torch and his new uniform for the film.

We don’t have any details about what’s happening on the scene, but some are guessing that it will involve Johnny going ‘flame on!’ and flying off; some even speculate that this could be the first time that he’ll actually activate his powers deliberately or attempt to fly.
Just for context, this was Johnny’s first flight in the original Fantastic Four film:
It’s unclear yet on how Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm is going to be different, but when it comes to the character, he’s always been characterized as a mischievous younger brother of the bunch. With Evans’ Torch really embracing on the adrenaline junkie bad boy image of Johnny Storm, I am curious as to how Quinn’s character will turn out. Will he be a cool guy based on the retro 50s that the timeline is based on? Or will he just be a generic mischievous member of the Four who is constantly poking fun at Ben Grimm?
We don’t know when Marvel is ready to give us an official look at the movie yet, but hopefully when the preview finally drops we get to see more than just what’s been in the leaks.
Catch Fantastic Four: First Steps when it releases in theatres on July 25, 2025.
