Set in a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, the film reimagines the beloved origin story of Marvel’s pioneering superhero team as they learn to balance heroism with the power of family.
According to the official synopsis, the story follows Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben “as they face their most daunting challenge yet.”
Tasked with defending Earth from the cosmic threat of Galactus and his mysterious herald, the Silver Surfer, the group must rely on their unity to overcome forces far greater than themselves.
Based on the original comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the film pays homage to the spirit of the early 1960s issues that first introduced the team to the world.
Reflecting on the project, Pascal told “GMA” in a July interview that the film “is completely dedicated to the original comics that were published in early 1960s — a kind of innocence and optimism rooted in family togetherness to tell the story that we can’t do it alone.”
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and Good Morning America.
