EARTH 828, AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION, JUL 22 – The Fantastic Four balance family and heroism in a 1960s-inspired alternate Earth while facing Galactus, who demands their unborn child to spare the planet, Marvel Studios said.

  • Marvel Studios releases The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25, directed by Matt Shakman, with a retro-futuristic Earth 828 backdrop.
  • After a cosmic-ray accident granted them powers, the team must defend Earth from Galactus’s ultimatum to surrender an unborn child.
