Marvel Fans Upset Over Trailer Scenes Cut From THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS — GeekTyrant

Aug 1, 2025


Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally hit theaters, kicking off Phase 6 of the MCU with a fresh take on Marvel’s First Family. While fans are loving the film and dynamic of the characters, some are frustrated about what didn’t make the final cut.Shortly after the film’s release, Marvel fans started pointing out that several scenes shown in early trailers were nowhere to be found in the actual movie. One fan even shared stills from three specific shots missing from the final version, noting that the Johnny Storm scene appears in the movie but not in the same way.”I believe the first and third shots may have been either scenes shot just for the trailer or scenes cut to trim down the film,” one fan speculated. “The second shot is there, it was just edited in the first trailer not to show Silver Surfer with him but you see the full shot in the second trailer I believe.”Others voiced their disappointment with the film’s pacing and runtime, which comes in at 1 hour and 55 minutes. “The movie felt chopped asf, felt like it was forced down to be under 2 hours, could’ve easily given it another half hour, would’ve given more time for certain ideas and scenes to play out properly. Give us the extended cut of this Marvel,” said another fan.While I liked that movie, that is something that I agree with about the film. The story could’ve played out a lot smoother. Some MCU fans are growing frustrated with this trend. “This is my biggest gripe with this, and most recent, MCU movies lately. They keep cutting and editing out great scenes that would’ve either been important or enhance the plot. It’s not even to reduce a long runtime, the movie is 1h 55m ffs, the extra 10-15 mins wouldn’t have hurt,” one person shared.Another fan added, “Was waiting for some of those Sue shots I wish they kept it at 2:10 tbh but I’m more than satisfied with what we got. Just hoping they release an extended cut on Disney/blu-ray cause I’ll be sick if not lmao.”So, will Marvel give fans the extended cut they’re asking for? Probably not. The chopping up of the film in post-production is a normal thing for Marvel, though. It’s just how they work. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in theaters now, and despite the missing moments, it’s already sparking a ton of conversation about what’s next for the team and the rest of Phase 6.
