The Fantastic Four: First Steps runtime confirmed – and it’s one of the shortest MCU films yet

The runtime for the highly awaited Marvel movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has been disclosed – and it turns out to be among the briefest films in the entire series’ history.

The movie runs for just over 1 hour and 54 minutes, which is less than most of the 36 Marvel Cinematic Universe films (excluding “The Marvels”, “The Incredible Hulk”, and “Thor: The Dark World” that are even shorter).

Absolutely, if you factor in the extended ending or closing credits, it implies that the actual movie duration is likely to be less than what’s stated in the advertisement.

In this new film, these widely recognized comic book heroes will make their debut within the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the very first time. Actors Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn are taking on the legendary roles.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that Ralph Ineson and Julia Garner will bring their A-game as our family’s adversaries, Galactus and Silver Surfer respectively. Additionally, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich have joined the stellar cast, further beefing up this ensemble.

As a passionate film buff, I’m eagerly anticipating a movie that transports us to a captivating retro-futuristic 1960s setting, where the aesthetic is reminiscent of the iconic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comic books. In this adventure, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and the Thing will confront their toughest test yet – a challenge that promises to be nothing short of thrilling!

Further particulars about the storyline are rightfully hidden for now, yet the trailer (available below) provides a clear hint about the mood we might encounter in the movie.
