Anthony and Joe Russo are slated to helm the project after a few previous director switch-ups. The movie will mark their big return to the MCU after previously directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Worries that he might not be "normal" are confirmed in Fantastic Four: First Steps when Galactus recognises that the boy can wield an unlimited energy known as the Power Cosmic (presumably because of the "cosmically compromised DNA" shared by both of his parents).

Marvel Studios has struck again, this time with ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, a film that not only reintroduces the beloved superhero team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also lays the groundwork for the Multiverse Saga’s most dangerous villain yet.
