The MCU is still a wonderful thing, despite what the worst corners of the internet tell you. Just two days after Marvel Television showed a major villain gruesomely crushing a man’s head in Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios has delivered a whimsical new look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps, complete with peeks at Galactus, Silver Surfer, Mr. Fantastic’s stretchy superpowers and … a new addition to Marvel’s First Family?

Indeed, four will become five in the anticipated film, which hits theaters July 25.

Taking place in an alternate universe from typical Marvel Studios fare, The Fantastic Four: First Steps seems set against a refreshing clean slate, and hopefully won’t be overly bogged down by multiversal shenanigans and gratuitous cameos. There will be plenty of time for that when these characters appear in Avengers: Doomsday next spring.

In the meantime, to quote the trailer, “Thank you, Fantastic Four!” Watch it below!
