In the video, which you can view below, the crew talks about making Galactus on a human scale, that they knew would also be blown up into an “absolutely gigantic character.” They had to make sure that every detail on the build was minute, this way when the character is ultimately blown up to a much larger scale, it feels realistic. With the filmmakers opting to approach such a massive character practically, they also had to find a way to use light and special lenses in order to capture the gigantic villain in order to emphasis the scale of him on screen.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will see the team in a retro sixties aesthetic that always feels futuristic, a call back to Marvel’s first family’s comic debut. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the characters first debuted in The Fantastic Four #1, which was released in November 1961. While there have been multiple Fantastic Four films previously, this will be the first time the family is feature in a retro time on screen, truly capturing the feel of the comics, which was something director Matt Shakman was truly passionate about, stating, “The Fantastic Four were created in the ’60s. It was the time of optimism, of looking to the stars. We’re putting it into our own version of the ’60s, in this retro future world.”
