New Fantastic Four Trailer Features Surprise Villain
A brief but striking scene in the latest trailer for Fantastic Four offered a new glimpse into the Marvel universe. A newspaper headline appearing 25 seconds into the trailer revealed the inclusion of a previously unannounced villain. This surprising detail generated excitement among audiences and heightened curiosity about the film’s true villain.
A New Villain Hints at a Fantastic Four Trailer
In the trailer’s relevant scene, the phrase “FANTASTIC 4 DEFEAT MASTERMIND MAD THINKER” stands out, directly beneath a newspaper clipping featuring Marvel’s First Family. This detail hints at the addition of the Mad Thinker, a character first introduced in the comics in 1963 and known for his genius. Despite being known for his ability to create intelligence-based weapons and robots, the character is seemingly neutralized by Reed Richards and his team.
The trailer’s hint of the Mad Thinker’s defeat suggests that many villains will be quickly surpassed in the film’s opening. This suggests the primary focus of the story is Galactus. Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson, looms large as the major threat in Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film also shows Mole Man being quickly neutralized, while Red Ghost is only mentioned in passing.
Furthermore, the absence of any clear scene in the film confirming the presence of John Malkovich, who is often linked to Red Ghost, raises the possibility that his scenes may have been cut. All these details suggest that the Fantastic Four’s story focuses on larger threats and have sparked new theories among fans.
Fantastic Four, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will hit theaters on July 25th. As the film prepares to breathe new life into the Marvel universe, the surprising details in the trailer further raise expectations.
