Marvel has been keeping the lid tight on official Fantastic Four: First Steps reveals, and everyone is wondering when we’re going to get a better look at the movie that isn’t found footage.
One character that’s being hyped up for the film is the Devourer of Worlds Galactus, and while we don’t have a first look at him yet, some fans think that this merch shared by actor Ralph Ineson could be a hint. Check this out:

While some people think this could be the first look at Galactus from the film, Ineson has confirmed that it’s just old Marvel merch depicting the classic Galactus from the comics. He follows up the post:
For those of you who think that was a first look at Galactus from the new movie, sorry to disappoint, this is from 2013. And for those that like it, I’m sure it’s available to buy pic.twitter.com/oQllrXZfUv

Even though it’s not official merch, a lot of fans are convinced that First Steps is going to be delivering a comic-accurate version of Galactus—complete with giant helmet. After all, Celestials have already been introduced in the universe since the first Guardians of the Galaxy, and a character like Galactus won’t be so hard to introduce this time around.
The last big screen interpretation of Galactus was not one that was beloved by fans. Back when Fox was still running the franchise, Galactus had appeared as the main antagonist of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. While the Surfer did look comic-accurate, Galactus was redesigned to just be a giant alien cloud.
With comic-accuracy becoming the norm these days with the MCU, fans are hoping that Ineson’s Galactus will be the giant figure that’s tormented the Marvel Universe for decades. Fingers crossed we get an official first look soon.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now set to release in theatres on July 25, 2025.
