The latest trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has arrived online, providing a bigger glimpse into the exciting adventure we’ll experience with Marvel’s First Family, who have seemingly taken forever to arrive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We already saw one trailer featuring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, but this is a more extended look with brand new details to parse.

As teased in the team’s initial reveal, thanks to a sly little Easter egg, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is kicking things off in the swinging ’60s, which is fitting since they first appeared in print in 1961. However, the last time we checked, that era in our timeline didn’t seem nearly as advanced as it looks here. Sure, we may have sent a man to the moon, but we also didn’t have talking robots with that much personality, nor was there any record of flashy flying cars. According to a recent Entertainment Weekly article, it turns out this film isn’t set on the same Earth as the rest of the MCU, which explains the alternate history vibes. So, what else does director Matt Shakman have in store for us?
