Fantastic Four Trailer Debuts Thing’s Look, Surfer Voice

Marvel Studios has unveiled a fresh trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps featuring never-before-seen footage.

The preview showcases The Thing sporting rocky facial hair while Human Torch carries him mid-flight. Audiences get glimpses of Mister Fantastic stretching his limbs, Invisible Woman demonstrating expanded powers, and subtle hints of Galactus - though the cosmic entity's full reveal remains elusive.

The trailer offers extended screen time for Silver Surfer, complete with metallic vocals announcing Galactus' arrival. A recurring gag features The Thing refusing to deliver his iconic catchphrase "It's clobberin' time!"

The Thing's unexpected rocky beard raises intriguing questions about the film's timeline. Since we've previously seen Benjamin Grimm clean-shaven, this suggests significant narrative progression. Can rock-based superheroes even shave? How does facial hair grow on organic stone? These mysteries hint at potential time jumps within the story.

Observant fans speculate the story spans months rather than days, evidenced by Sue Storm's pregnancy storyline with Franklin Richards.

Though packed with new material, Marvel clearly retains major reveals. Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards showcases partial stretching abilities during action sequences, yet his full power set remains concealed. His controversial mustache continues generating online debate.

Galactus' complete facial appearance stays hidden, though we glimpse portions of his colossal form awakening in an alternate-history New York City.
