Marvel Studios has triumphantly debuted a fresh keystone in its cinematic realm with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“, a film met with universal praise from critics. Although the box office performance of “First Steps” is more stable than spectacular, it’s also predicted to be the studio’s most profitable release of the year. The film unveils Marvel Cinematic Universe’s adaptation of Marvel’s First Family, featuring Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), in a fashionable blend of retro-futurism set in an alternate timeline. While “First Steps” can largely be enjoyed as a standalone story, its most heartrending and surprising scene is confirmed to carry profound implications for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kirby recently disclosed that these emotional events will directly affect “Avengers: Doomsday“.
In an interview with MovieWeb, actress Kirby pondered over the impact on a character who has gone through a life-changing event within just a week – giving birth, dying, and then coming back to life. This is evident in the climax of ‘First Steps’, where Sue Storm sacrifices herself to save Earth from the world-eater Galactus, only to be miraculously resurrected by her newborn son’s latent reality-warping powers. Kirby’s observation suggests that this near-death experience will significantly shape Sue Storm’s character and guide her actions as she ventures into the cosmic realm.
Does Avengers: Doomsday Have Space for a Sue Storm Arc?
The fact that Sue Storm’s death and resurrection will play a significant role in her future storyline offers a captivating starting point, but it poses a logistical question regarding how the upcoming film, “Avengers: Doomsday,” plans to delve into this complex theme. With its ambitious scope, the crossover promises to be one of the largest event films ever made, gathering heroes from throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond. The initial cast list already boasts members of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and veterans from 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films, potentially swelling to a cast of almost 60 characters. Given that such a film must prioritize among so many heroes, it seems inevitable that individual character arcs will receive limited screen time.
In previous projects like “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” Marvel Studios has primarily concentrated on major Avengers characters, such as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), who got significant story arcs that concluded the saga. Characters like Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), who were crucial to the plot, had their character development primarily saved for their individual series. It appears that “Doomsday” will follow a similar approach, as the central conflict involving Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) and the disintegration of the multiverse might consume most of the screen time, leaving many other characters’ stories in the shadow.
The events depicted in this series serve to underscore the necessity of a follow-up to “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” even more. Delving into Sue’s mental state, her bond with a son capable of altering reality, and Reed Richards grappling with the near-loss of his wife are intricate storylines that merit further exploration beyond the constraints of a large-scale event film. While “Avengers: Doomsday” may touch upon Sue Storm’s transformation, it is crucial that her character arc receives the in-depth treatment it deserves through a standalone movie dedicated to her journey.
The movie “Fantastic Four’s Initial Journey” is now showing in cinemas. The film titled “Avengers: Apocalypse” is set to hit theatres on December 18, 2026.
The Fantastic Four’s latest adventure, “First Steps”, can be seen in movie theaters now. Mark your calendars for December 18, 2026, when “Avengers: Doomsday” will premiere in cinemas.
