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.
