First Steps to ensure its success. Past Fantastic Four films have struggled to meet expectations, leading to mixed feelings about the upcoming movie. The high expectations for the film signal its importance in the MCU and potential to revive interest in the franchise.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” tells the story of Marvel’s first family and stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman; Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing; and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.

The Thing and Drax have many similarities in terms of backstory and powers. Marvel Studios made a mistake by focusing on Drax's comedic relief rather than his emotional depth. Too much comedy could impact the emotional aspect of The Thing in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
