When you hear ‘Fantastic 4: First Step’ Makes you wonder about the steps ahead

Director Matt Shakman’s new film from Marvel Studios’  Fantastic 4: First Step’ takes you on an exhilarating journey as their leader Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal ), one of the most brilliante scientist that can stretch his body to unimaginable lengths, guides Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby) who is Reed's pregnant wife and Johnny's big sister, and can create force fields and turn into an invisible woman. Sue founded the Future Foundation; Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn),  Sue's little brother who can  fly and regulate fire at the same time.; Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)   best friend of Reed’s  who has had his skin transformed into orange rock that has given him super human power and strength.;  Galactus (Ralph Ineson), who is a gigantic cosmic being who devours the life force of planets and has the Fantastic 4’s retro-futuristic world in his sights.; Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer (Julia Garner), she is  Galactus's metallic-skinned messenger who travels through space on a surfboard-like craft.

It would not be complete without Mole Man (Paul Walter Hauser), The ruler of the Moloids in Subterranea, an alternative society. H.E.R.B.I.E. (Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics), voiced by Matthew Wood) who is Reed's assistant and reminds me of the robot in the cartoon The Jetsons.
