The actress reveals things aren't that serious between her and Ben Grimm, adding, "I'm also seeing four other rocks, you should know, at this time."

First Steps presents an faithful, entertaining, and compelling version of the story Rise of the Silver Surfer failed to adapt.

As the filmmaker’s three-year journey wound down on the project, he realized a key moment was missing, and managed to shoot it within a few months of the film's opening.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps makes its way into the world in grand fashion and is definitely worth your premium format dollars. If you want to skip the physical stuff, the IMAX presentation immerses you with glorious sound, gigantic picture, and its own 3D variant worth considering.

The movie is the latest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and marks the third “Fantastic Four” film adaptation since 2005.

In 1978, the animation company DePatie–Freleng (best known for The Pink Panther) teamed with Marvel to make The New Fantastic Four.
