Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby lead the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but the secret star of the film is the soundtrack.
Directed by Matt Shakman, the film follows Reed Richards (Pascal), Sue Storm (Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they try to protect their retro-futuristic world from being devoured by Galactus (Ralph Ineson).
Other cast members include Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, alongside Sarah Niles, Mark Gatiss, Natasha Lyonne and Paul Walter Hauser.
The film is the second reboot of the Fantastic Four and kicks off Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is set to conclude with Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
