I"m Convinced The MCU Is Hiding A Key Fantastic Four Suit Change In Plain Sight

Summary
  • The Fantastic Four reboot in the MCU could feature unique suits for each member.
  • The new Fantastic Four suit for Johnny Storm is a departure from the classic look, modernizing a John Byrne-era concept.
  • The Future Foundation could play a significant role in the MCU's Multiverse Saga involving the Avengers.
After some recent developments, I think the Marvel Cinematic Universe has an interesting angle planned for The Fantastic Four: First Steps' team suits. I am a fan of the Fantastic Four, be it in the comics, animation, movies, games, or anything else. As such, I could not be more excited about 2025's Fantastic Four reboot. I think Marvel Studios has assembled a very talented cast for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the team should play a major role in multiple MCU releases. After all, the Fantastic Four are confirmed to appear in the next two Avengers movies.

I'm happy that we are finally getting the Fantastic Four in the MCU, with Marvel Studios having the chance to bring the definitive version of the team to live-action. I was also excited to see Chris Evans return as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine, even though he was not exactly the same as in the 2000s Fantastic Four movies. Evans' Human Torch return also brought along a new Fantastic Four costume. On that topic, I'm convinced that, after a few official updates, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is hiding an interesting team suit element in plain sight.

8 Why I Think Each Fantastic Four Member Will Have A Different Suit Marvel Might Have Already Revealed It Close After months of speculation, Marvel officially revealed the cast for the Fantastic Four reboot with concept art from the movie for Valentine's Day. Pedro Pascal plays Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby gives life to Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn is Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays Ben Grimm. I find The Fantastic Four: First Steps' cast very exciting, with every actor more or less perfect for their respective role within the team. What I loved about the reveal was that Marvel chose to offer a look at the actors as their characters, with Reed Richards and Sue Storm in Fantastic Four suits.
This is where things start to become interesting. Reed and Sue's Fantastic Four costumes are mostly the same, but there is a key difference. Vanessa Kirby's character sports a round-shaped white collar, while Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards is fully blue. The official The Fantastic Four: First Steps concept art also included Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, with both wearing jackets that hid the upper half of their costumes. However, the Thing's look is interesting, as the hero had a giant white stripe in the middle of his Fantastic Four jacket, which connects to a recent reveal.
The new Fantastic Four suit features way more white, with stripes on the arms that lead to the suit's collar.
At D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the Fantastic Four reboot cast appeared in a video, which revealed a new MCU Fantastic Four suit. Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm was seen wearing a Fantastic Four suit that looked very different from the ones Reed and Sue had in the concept art. The new Fantastic Four suit features way more white, with stripes on the arms that lead to the suit's collar. Based on the three different versions of the Fantastic Four costume we've seen, I believe each member of the team will have a unique suit tailored to their style.

I Like The Latest MCU Fantastic Four Suit Reveal The New Marvel Costume Is Different Close Sure, the Fantastic Four costume that Quinn's Johnny Storm was wearing is a departure from how the team's suits normally look. However, I don't think that is a bad thing. Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be the fourth live-action movie of the team to be released in theaters. As such, I'm glad that the MCU is trying to do new things for the team while keeping classic aspects and an old-school feel to the project. Johnny's new Fantastic Four suit is the perfect representation of that, harkening back to the comics.
The white and blue Fantastic Four costume comes from the John Byrne era of the team in the 1980s, though the MCU is using even more white for at least the Human Torch's suit. I think the new MCU Fantastic Four costume that Johnny Storm wears is a great way of modernizing a classic concept, with the project as a whole being about honoring the team's long Marvel Comics history. I also like that Marvel is experimenting with the Fantastic Four suits, giving John Krasinski's Reed Richards and Chris Evans' Johnny Storm modern suits and the reboot cast retro costumes.

2 I Know How The Fantastic Four: First Steps Can Give The Team Matching Suits Later It Has Already Been Teased Close I think it would be cool if the Fantastic Four reboot started with the team's members having their own personalized suits, with the four heroes later getting matching costumes toward the end of the film. Marvel could end the movie with the team wearing the Future Foundation suits from the comics. A nod to the Future Foundation was spotted on The Fantastic Four: First Steps banners. To promote the movie at San Diego Comic-Con, banners with the four heroes' profiles were spread around the outside of the convention, and they included the Future Foundation as if by the organization.
I would love to see the Future Foundation play a role in the movie and the MCU's upcoming films. I'm a fan of the Future Foundation's white and black suits, especially Spider-Man's variation of the costume, and the team's inclusion could lead to Tom Holland's Peter Parker spending some time with the Fantastic Four in the MCU. Different from the comics, I don't think Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm necessarily has to die, so Marvel can use the Future Foundation, as the organization's goal of making the future a better place does not require the Human Torch's death.

1 The Future Foundation Is Crucial To A Multiverse Saga Movie The Fantastic Four Have An Important MCU Future Close With the Fantastic Four confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, it would make sense for the team's MCU debut to establish the Future Foundation. In the 2015 version of the Secret Wars event from Marvel Comics, the Future Foundation built the ships that saved several heroes and other characters when an incursion threatened to end all life on Earth-616. The team could play the same role in the Avengers films, with the Future Foundation life rafts taking characters outside the MCU's main universe and later landing safely on Battleworld.
I'm excited for the Fantastic Four to have a major presence in the MCU going forward. While I enjoyed the team's movies from the 2000s, The Fantastic Four: First Steps and future projects have the potential to bring the most comic book-accurate versions of the heroes yet. With Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom taking Kang the Conqueror's place as the main villain of the Multiverse Saga, I can't wait to see the Fantastic Four help the Avengers and other heroes take him down. Based on The Fantastic Four First Steps updates, I'll be waiting for the Future Foundation's MCU debut.
The Fantastic Four (2025) Marvel's Fantastic Four is the first MCU movie to feature Marvel's First Family in the same live-action universe as the Avengers. It introduces the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, and precedes Phase 6's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
