Disney Press Pack updates have new official synopsis for both The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Eyes of Wakanda plus cast lists. Whilst we already know most of the cast of The Fantastic Four, however there is one new name on there. That of actress Sarah Niles. Of course the only roles we can connect with characters are the Four themselves plus Galactus and Surfer.
Here as that new synopsis for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
‘Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.’
The last line is the one that will get fans talking, that it suddenly gets very personal. Since Franklin is said to be around 4 years old in this movie this is likely connected to him. Rumors say Franklin could be targeted by Galactus, or he could even be Franklin in the future. This is course is all just vague rumor and speculation for now.
