However, even beforeThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsreleases, the film is already receiving support from the last group of actors who portrayed the characters.
At this year’s SXSW,ScreenRant’sown Liam Crowley spoke withThe Astronautcast members Kate Mara and Gabriel Luna, whereThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswas also briefly addressed. After having played the Invisible Woman more than a decade ago,Mara gave her reaction to the new reboot as she stated the following aboutThe Fantastic Four: First Steps:
Kate Mara: I did see the trailer. The cast is so great. I love all of those actors, so I’m excited to see it. It looks very different.

What Kate Mara’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps Comments Mean For The MCU Reboot
Even though she only played Sue for one movie, Mara is an important part of2015’sFantastic Four, which is still part of the team’s cinematic legacy, despite the film’s negative reception. WhileFantastic Fourhas become known as one of the worst comic book adaptations of all time, the cast was hardly the problem with the film. Despite having a short run with Invisible Woman in the 2015 installment, to hear Mara still be open to talking about Fantastic Four a decade later is appreciated.
Mara’s reaction is also very similar to what former Reed Richards actor, Miles Teller, had to say when he was asked aboutThe Fantastic Four: First Steps. In a February interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Teller said,“I saw the little trailer and I thought it looked fantastic, I’m very excited for them.“His comment shows that even if his film didn’t turn out the way he’d hoped, he is still thrilled to seethe Fantastic Four charactersgetting a fresh start in something like the MCU. It’s always fun to hear actors like Mara and Teller show their support for a new take on characters they’ve played.
Our Take On Kate Mara’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps Comments
Following Mara’s supportive comments aboutThe Fantastic Four: First Steps,time will tell if fellowFantastic Fouractors Michael B. Jordan (who is in the MCU as Killmonger) and Jamie Bell have similar thoughts about the first trailer. Despite their characters not getting a chance to continue, it would be fun ifThe Multiverse Sagacould have some type of crossover where the 2015 cast gets a proper chance with their versions of the Marvel icons. But until then, the world can look forward toThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswhen it arrives in theaters this summer.
