The film introduces Marvel's First Family not with their origin, but four years into their career in a retro-futuristic backdrop of an alternate-reality 1960s. Having gained their superhuman abilities after being exposed to cosmic rays during an experimental space mission, the team is already celebrated as world-protecting heroes.

The plot kicks further with the arrival of the Silver Surfer, herald of the cosmic entity Galactus, who is set to consume Earth. Galactus promises to spare Earth if Reed and Sue, who are expecting their first child, Franklin Richards, give up their newborn, believing that the child's enormous powers with ultimately satisfy his hunger.

This forces Reed to devise an audacious plan involving experimental teleportation bridges, which leads to a climactic confrontation with Galactus and the Surfer that hinges on the strength and sacrifice of the family unit.

Fantastic Four: First Steps features Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn in the lead roles as part of the titular team. Additionally, Julia Garner features Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus, among other actors in supporting roles.
