After months of highly anticipated anticipation, the reboot of The Fantastic Four has proven itself to be in huge demand before it is released. The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps earned an impressive 202 million views within a period of 24 hours, the most viewed for a non-sequel film by Marvel Studios.
A Super Trailer
Marvel Studios officially debuted the first look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps on February 4, introducing fans to the new superhero lineup starring Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, and Vanessa Kirby.
The trailer premiered at a spectacular event held at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where eager fans gathered to witness the grand launch. The film is scheduled for July 2025.
Within one day of its release, Marvel confirmed that the trailer had gained 202 million views across all platforms. It is the most viewed trailer for a non-sequel Marvel film, surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine with 365 million views and Spider-Man: No Way Home with 355 million views.
Fan Engagement
Success beyond YouTube, the clip became the No. 1 trending video on that platform. Combined with TikTok, where it contributed a significant share of views, X (formerly Twitter), reached more than 500,000 mentions in social conversation volume, against Deadpool 3, which boasted the benefit of a Super Bowl launch.
These promising numbers do exactly mean excitement for Marvel’s latest reboot. July 2025 should be summer blockbuster time with the movie hitting theaters.
Marvel’s Fantastic Four
This marks the first Fantastic Four film produced entirely under Marvel Studios, following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. The previous Fantastic Four films collectively grossed over $803 million worldwide, but this new installment promises a fresh take on the beloved superhero team.
This ‘A retro-futuristic world’ is in store for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where the characters will undergo a dramatic transformation after an expedition into space. The team faces an imminent danger in the form of legendary villain Galactus, which will lead to a whole series of epic clashes.
Record-breaking 202 viewership, and a soaring surge of anticipation, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is already taking its place among Marvel’s biggest releases in years.
