The highly anticipated teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has ignited excitement among fans eager to see Marvel’s iconic family return to the big screen. The teaser effectively establishes the film’s setting while keeping major plot points under wraps. However, intriguing moments featuring Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm have led many viewers to speculate about a possible pregnancy for the character.
Here’s what to know regarding the swirling rumors about Sue Storm’s potential pregnancy.
Is Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm pregnant in The Fantastic Four: First Steps?
As of now, Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed any details about Sue Storm’s potential pregnancy in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The speculation arose when sharp-eyed fans noticed specific scenes in the teaser. One moment shows Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm taking flight from a balcony while Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards assists Sue Storm inside, as she seems to cradle her stomach, suggesting a possible pregnancy.
Additionally, at the 45-second mark, a visibly concerned Reed attempts to comfort Sue, who appears to be struggling with her powers. The nature of this scene has prompted further speculation, as it resembles elements often associated with childbirth.
Vanessa Kirby has sidestepped direct questions about any potential motherhood role in the film, stating in a recent interview, “You’ll have to wait and see.” An intriguing aspect supporting the pregnancy theory is the introduction of Franklin Richards, Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s son, who plays a significant role in the comic book storyline of Secret Wars.
Marvel’s ongoing multiverse saga culminates with the 2027 release of Avengers: Secret Wars, making The Fantastic Four: First Steps a fitting platform to introduce Franklin before he potentially takes a central role in this major upcoming event.
While speculation remains high, fans will have to wait for the film’s release on July 25, 2025, to discover if Sue Storm’s character arc includes motherhood.
