Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm is revealed to be holding a baby in a set video, hinting at a potential storyline.
• The MCU version of the Fantastic Four will already be established, and the movie is not an origin story.
• It's possible that the baby in the set video could be Franklin or Valeria Richards, Sue and Reed Richards' children in the comics.

A first look at Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm is revealed in a new The Fantastic Four: First Steps video, which also may tease another character for the Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot. One of the most highly anticipated films coming out of the MCU in Phase 6 is The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The movie marks Marvel's First Family finally becoming main players in the franchise, and the Fantastic Four cast are being introduced at a very important time for The Multiverse Saga, since it will be concluding after Phase 6.
With The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie currently filming in England, UnBoxPHD shared a new set video featuring Kirby as the iconic Marvel heroine, Sue Storm. However, a big reveal may have been unveiled since Sue is holding a baby.

3 What The Fantastic Four: First Steps Set Video Reveals About The Movie It's Long Been Rumored That Sue Storm & Reed Richards Will Be Parents Close While the larger context is, of course, going to be crucial for this scene, the set video may have finally confirmed a long-time theory about The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Since Marvel Studios put the reboot into development, Kevin Feige has made it clear that this will not be an origin story for the Fantastic Four, setting up this version of the team to already be established. That sparked a lot of speculation that The Fantastic Four: First Steps may explore a version of Sue and Reed Richards who are not just married already, but raising kids of their own.
Reed and Sue do have two kids in the Marvel comics, Franklin and Valeria Richards, who have never been explored in live-action before. It wouldn't be shocking if the baby that Kirby is holding in The Fantastic Four: First Steps set video is meant to be the first look at Franklin or Valeria in the MCU. That would also be a nice way to tie it into the "First Steps" part of the MCU reboot's title.
The bigger mystery, however, is whether the MCU could potentially show grown-up versions of either Franklin or Valeria. With time travel being a big part of the franchise, there is always the possibility of Reed and Sue meeting future versions of their kids. Hopefully, more clues about the family aspect in The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be revealed through future set photos and videos.
