First Steps features one Reed Richards quote that gives devastating context about his chosen superhero name, Mister Fantastic.

But there was a very simple way for the MCU to reboot its thirst traps in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And Pedro Pascal didn't even need to go shirtless for it. He would have simply needed to unbutton a bit.

The new "Fantastic Four" is now in theaters and earning stellar reviews. Here's when the Marvel hit will likely stream on Disney+ and digital, so you can watch it at home.

First Steps breaks new ground in taking these heroes into live-action in the most convincing and satisfying iteration to date.

After a number of false starts, the Fantastic Four have another feature adaptation in the retro-pastiche Fantastic Four: First Steps. This isn’t the first time Mr. Fantastic and co. have appeared onscreen; They were last seen in Josh Trank’s Fantastic 4 (stylized as Fant4stic) and Tim Story’s Fantastic Four films for Fox.

First Steps gives a spectacular new story about Marvel's First Family with a bold, breathtaking superhero blockbuster.

The summer has already delivered some bangers, with movies like the Brad Pitt-led high-octane racing drama, F1, Jurassic World: Rebirth, and James Gunn’s Superman taking the global box office by storm. The next movie expected to put patron butts in theater seats is Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps .

Through tailored training and Jason Walsh’s nutrition philosophy, Pedro Pascal overcame pain and underwent a body transformation for "Fantastic Four."

This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.

Does Reed Richards have the worst superpowers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The Fantastic Four: First Steps makes the case.
