Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Julia Garner also star in Matt Shakman’s superhero adventure, in which the team must save Earth from a “Devourer of Worlds.”

The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four features a retro-cool look and winning chemistry between its leads. But after a promising start, First Steps falters due to a lacklustre plot that fails to find a new angle on a familiar superhero story involving an all-powerful being that is out to destroy Earth.

Marvel’s First Family — as embodied by the quartet of stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — was in attendance at the world premiere for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, held at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion today.
