Fantastic Four First Steps - A New Leap for Marvel

One of the most anticipated MCU movies in recent years, Fantastic Four First Steps had high expectations being called Marvel’s first family. Though there are also fears that it will receive bad reviews like its predecessors, this new adaptation of Fantastic Four got me excited for the new phase of the MCU. 

With so many adaptations and universes, finally Marvel has found the sweet spot for the new Fantastic Four First Steps. Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic has now the dilemma of being a hero and father. Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman is indeed a mother in this movie and also very empowered because of this, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm is elevated to step up as a hero we never expected him to be. And Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing has charisma and talent that also comes as a surprise.
