The Fantastic Four: First Steps' latest trailer reveals what Galactus is after in theMarvel Cinematic Universe. Ralph Ineson’s Galactus has been teased in many of the trailers for theupcoming MCU movie, though a full look at the giant character has yet to be revealed. Marvel might be saving that for the film itself, though details continue to emerge.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps' storywill focus on Galactus coming to Earth. His arrival is announced by Galactus' herald, Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer, as has been seen in multiple trailers. However, the reason for the character’s trip to Earth had been a mystery until now. The answer to that question lies in another keyThe Fantastic Four: First Stepscast member.
On Twitter,Marvel Studiosshared a newThe Fantastic Four: First Stepstrailer that explains how Galactus wants Franklin Richards.
During a press conference, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards reveals that the Fantastic Four did not stop Galactus. Instead, they tried to negotiate with him in space, but the price to save Earth was too high, as Galactus asked for Franklin, Reed and Sue Storm’s son, in return. This means the Fantastic Four’s Earth is in serious danger of being destroyed.

Our Take On The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Major Galactus Reveal
The moment Marvel revealed that Franklin Richards was inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps,I anticipated that Galactus would be after him. It just makes sense for the cosmic being to search for the character who could provide him with an endless food supply. WithThe Fantastic Four: First Steps' trailer confirming it, I’m convinced the team will have to flee.
