It was revealed via Deadline today the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie is getting a tie-in one-shot by Matt Fraction and Mark Buckingham. Out July 2nd, the listing was absent from the July 2025 Marvel Comics solicitations that were released yesterday.
The one-shot confirms the upcoming MCU film is set four years into the Fantastic Four’s tenure as heroes as Marvel Comics worked closely with the filmmakers to make this comic feel like it was an artefact from the world of the film.
“As Marvel’s First Family, the Fantastic Four and their stories have always been at the very center of the Marvel Universe,” Marvel Comics Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski told Deadline. “With The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming later this summer, we at Marvel all felt this was the perfect opportunity to bring our teams together in honor of their legacy in both the world of the film and within our comics. It’s been a blast to have our teams in Publishing and Studios bounce ideas back and forth to create something truly special and one-of-a-kind, and we can’t wait for fans to be able to dive in to this comic—squarely in the world of the MCU—and experience the Fantastic Four like we’ve never seen before this summer.”
He added, “The heart of Marvel has always stemmed from the comics, and Kevin and the team have been bringing those pages to life in extraordinary ways with each and every film. With this comic, we’re bringing those two worlds together in a way we think fans will love.”
