Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Marvel Studios has revealed the first costumes from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
• I would love to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps' costumes be more comic-accurate, despite loving the blue-and-white suit that was revealed.
• Many MCU heroes have been given comic-accurate costumes in recent years, so the Fantastic Four could get the same.

The first costumes from The Fantastic Four: First Steps have finally been revealed, and while I think they're brilliant, a new MCU edit has me convinced they should be even more comic-accurate. Marvel Studios showed pre-viz footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps at SDCC, and again at D23, with the latter featuring a message from the cast which revealed Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm in his Fantastic Four costume. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is one of the movies I'm most excited for in the MCU's 2025 schedule, so this was an incredible reveal.
There had been some speculation about what direction Marvel Studios would take with the Fantastic Four's costumes in the MCU's Phase 6. The blue-and-white costume that was chosen reminds me of the same-colored suits from John Byrne's run of Fantastic Four in 1981, though Marvel Studios has made several changes to the design of the costumes. These blue-and-white suits have never been seen in a mainstream Fantastic Four movie before, so it's a great way to make the MCU's reboot stand out, but I think Marvel could have gone even further.

A Fan Edit Has Made The Fantastic Four’s First MCU Costumes Even More Perfect Reddit Has Imagined The Fantastic Four In More Comic-Accurate Costumes While I love the design of Johnny Storm's costume as the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I was a little disappointed to see that it wasn't completely comic-accurate. A new fan edit shared by Reddit user ZukoIsKing has seemingly proved my point, as they have reimagined Johnny Storm's costume with the more faithful design of a mostly-blue suit with white accents, including gloves, belt and high-collar. This design is much more reminiscent of the Fantastic Four's costumes in Marvel Comics, and looks incredible as an official MCU suit.
I Love The Design Of The Fantastic Four’s MCU Costumes But They Could Be Better Marvel Studios Has Given Many Heroes Comic-Accurate Suits Close Seeing Joseph Quinn in a more comic-accurate Fantastic Four suit has made my dreams come true. It's something of a shame that Marvel Studios altered the design of the suits, as they've already been tried and tested through their many iterations in Marvel Comics. I'm unsure about why Marvel Studios decided not to give the Fantastic Four more faithful suits, when so many other MCU heroes have been given comic-accurate costumes in recent years. The likes of Sam Wilson's Captain America, Ms. Marvel and Peter Parker's Spider-Man have been given faithful costumes, so why not the Fantastic Four?

I would have been overjoyed to see the Fantastic Four get this treatment in their MCU debut, too. However, I'm still holding out hope that Marvel Studios can improve on these suits as time goes on. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be set in an alternate reality, so who knows how the Fantastic Four team will change upon their arrival in the MCU's Earth-616? Some characters have also taken years to evolve into their comic-accurate costumes, so I'm not giving up on the idea of seeing the Fantastic Four get this treatment.
