Here's the official synopsis for The Fantastic Four: First Steps:
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they confront their most formidable challenge yet. Forced to balance their heroic duties with the strength of their family bonds, they must defend Earth from the voracious space god Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to consume the planet weren’t enough, it takes a deeply personal turn.
Speculation abounds among fans regarding a potential appearance by Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, either within The Fantastic Four: First Steps or perhaps a tantalizing tease. Feige has confirmed the Fantastic Four's appearances in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
