First Steps director Matt Shakman addresses a big Sue Storm moment in the movie's final act and reveals original plans for Franklin Richards' Marvel Cinematic Universe's introduction.

First Steps with love, they also don’t seem happy with many scenes deleted from the movie. Many are praising the story, but they have spotted some scenes that were originally a part of the trailer that were cut from the movie.

At the core of First Steps are Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Reed Richards, Sue and Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. Each slips easily into their role like a customized astronaut suit, but special praise has to go to Kirby and Moss-Bacharach for giving the ensemble its real heart.

"First Steps" promises to push the MCU out of its comfort zone, but the movie quickly retreats into a tired version of the same old story.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps strides into a whole new world within the MCU that's disconnected from any Marvel movie to date. As such, no homework is required to enjoy the film, and there's also "no Easter eggs" to look out for if director Matt Shakman is to be believed.

Fantastic Four is a team of superpowered individuals but at their core, they are a family -- with all their emotional messiness and humour -- and this is what filmmaker Matt Shakman wanted to capture with Marvel Studios' "Fantastic Four: First Steps".

Speaking of connections… During one of my recent fits of insomnia, I discovered a strange factoid that connects The Fantastic Four: First Steps with Saved by the Bell, at least an early version of the popular high school-centric sitcom many of us grew up watching. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since, and I have to talk it out.

First Steps is off to a strong start at the North American box office, with an estimated $23 million Thursday that means the latest Marvel Studios movie is pacing ahead of Superman.
