Marvel’s iconic superhero team is getting a fresh start. Fantastic Four: First Steps, in theaters today, introduces a new version of the group: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (a.k.a. Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (the Thing).

Indeed, by the 1990s, the only Marvel property with a proper theatrically released film was (checks notes) Howard the Duck. But as Tim Burton's Batman hit theaters in 1989, and another comic property, Dick Tracy, had a release in 1990, one intrepid producer knew that there were opportunities in Marvel's so-called House of Ideas.

Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal star as married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm in 'The Fantastic Four: The First Steps.' The duo reveal their characters' wedding song and how they grew close amid filming the latest Marvel film.

This week, The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings Marvel's first family of superheroes back to the big screen after a decade away. While the FF doesn't currently have a video game of their own, they are prominently featured in Marvel Rivals. And in the video below, the entire cast takes turns playing their respective characters in the game.

The first attempt at making a film about the superheroes was an extremely low-budget affair that was shot, abandoned and mostly forgotten about in the 1990s.

First Steps cast revealed which Marvel characters they’d recruit to join their team, naming several surprising X-Men picks. While Black Panther and Spider-Man were popular choices, Mystique stood out as a favorite among the cast.
