Marvel Studios dropped the first trailer for Fantastic Four: The First Steps, celebrating the film with an event at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

The countdown began on YouTube about an hour prior to the “launch” in Huntsville, Ala., which was hosted by Angelique Roche, who shared as the event began: “We are here live at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, home of Space Camp, preparing to launch, that’s right, the first official trailer for Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four: First Steps.”  Cast members Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Thing) and Joseph Quinn (Human Torch) then joined Roche on the stage.

Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s during the space race.  The film is the second reboot of the ‘Fantastic Four’ film series; the original 2005 adaptation starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis, while a 2015 reboot featured Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell.
