Of all the things in the universe, what does the cosmic being Galactus want with a little baby in "Fantastic Four: First Steps"? Our video explains it all.

In newly-released footage from a TV spot ahead of the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25, 2025, the Fantastic Four reveal Galactus’ demands for Earth’s protection during a press conference (via Reddit).

A new Fantastic Four clip reveals what – or should we say 'who' – the movie's villain Galactus really wants: Franklin, Reed Richards and Sue Storm's baby.
