The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review: A Satisfying MCU Chapter That Still Squanders Potential

The advantage of using this movie narrative strategy lies in the audience quickly understanding why the film isn’t based on the primary Earth from the Marvel Cinematic Universe; it would have been difficult to manage all these elements alongside the history tied to live-action Earth-616. Director Matt Shakman gives the world a unique, retro-futuristic aesthetic, reminiscent of Disney, which lends an individual charm to the entire film and sets it apart from any other Marvel Studios production.

Deadpool & Wolverine Actor Shares One Big Complaint About the Film (& They’re Right)

Baccarin found it fascinating to watch the movie given how much depth and impact was created in such a limited production period. She emphasized that the film’s heart lies in the relationship between Wade and Vanessa. As she put it, “I am the motivation for his existence, his desire to improve, and his journey. This was true for both films.”

What makes this interesting, Baccarin added, is that these are big-scale franchises with numerous decision-makers. It’s a pity, she said, that despite the female character playing such a pivotal role in the story at its onset, she doesn’t receive enough screen time or a fulfilling narrative arc.
