Sounds like Thanos caught a lucky break the Fantastic Four weren’t there to wreck his shop come ‘Avengers: Endgame.’
One of the big draws of next week’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is seeing Marvel’s First Family in the retrofuturist Earth-828. They’re Earth’s only heroes in that dimension, and before Galactus shows up, it sounds like they’ve done a pretty good job protecting the planet. They might even be too good at it, which is why they’re in their own universe to begin with.
During a recent MovieWeb interview, director Matt Shakman discussed how the Four were made “in this time of optimism during the space race, [where] people were dreaming of stars,” so it made sense to put them in a dimension inspired by the decade their comics began publication.
