After years on the sidelines, the Fantastic Four are finally taking their first steps into Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. It’s an exciting time for fans of Marvel’s First Family, though that anticipation has been muddled by speculation. The Fantastic Four: First Steps won’t be an origin story for the super-squad, nor will it make any attempt to fold the characters into Marvel’s main timeline. But as we got more info about Fantastic Four, speculation swirled about Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) and whether she could be pregnant. The latest Fantastic Four trailer gives us our first look at young Franklin, confirming theories that Sue will give birth.
