Color me confused but interested. Is this set in another time line?
==============
The first official synopsis for ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’ has been released:
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal
Well, color me confused and disappointed. I'm guessing this is in another branch timeline instead of Earth 616. Makes sense because if the world had superheroes like the F4 in the 60s, you would have expected to hear some references to them in the current MCU.
I haven't seen Ozark but I heard that Julia Garner is outstanding in it. That being said, she doesn't fit the mold of what I was expecting for Silver Surfer, who has an iconic look. I realize the source material is free to be played with but that was a step farther than I expected. Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised but overall this feels pretty disappointing.
I do expect RDJ to make his Doom debut near the end (the "very personal" part). They will probably have some event that flings them (the F4 and Doom) through the multiverse and have them land in Earth 616 so RDJ can be the headliner for Avengers Doomsday in 2026.
