Thanks to a hectic production schedule, The Fantastic Four: First Steps didn’t begin filming until July 29, the day after Comic-Con. That wasn’t enough time to get a trailer together, but Marvel didn’t come to D23 empty-handed. During the presentation for the Fantastic Four reboot, Marvel shared the first look at Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch costume in the film.

As you can see from the pic, it’s not an exact recreation of Johnny Storm’s costume from the comics. It looks more like a hazard suit than a traditional costume. But it does have the bright blue area and a retro-looking 4 logo that echo some of the older Human Torch outfits.
The pic in question came from a short video featuring Quinn alongside his FF co-stars, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach from the set of the movie. They couldn’t break away from the shoot, but they’re eager to show off the reboot.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will arrive in theaters on July 25, 2025, right around next year’s Comic-Con. But this wasn’t all we saw at D23. Avatar 3 got a title, Toy Story 5 was announced, the first trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew debuted, followed by early footage from The Mandalorian and Grogu.
