Marvel Studios’ new movie Fantastic Four: First Steps has sparked fresh excitement and new theories about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Fans are now debating the true nature of Galactus, the powerful villain appearing in the film.
The main question is whether Galactus is a single, unique being across all universes or just one of many versions. Normally, the MCU shows that characters exist as many variants across the multiverse, like Loki or Spider-Man. But if Galactus is one and the same in every universe, it changes everything.
This means Galactus would not be just one villain among many, but a cosmic force that is constant across all realities. His threat would be much bigger, putting the whole multiverse at risk. Unlike other villains who have variants, Galactus could be the one true Devourer of Worlds everywhere.
If this is true, the fight in Fantastic Four: First Steps is more than just a battle for one planet. It could be the start of a much larger story about cosmic power and multiversal danger. Heroes may need to form new alliances and find new ways to face a threat that has no known weaknesses or alternate versions to learn from.
The movie’s title, First Steps, might hint that this is only the beginning of a much bigger journey for the MCU. Fans will have to wait until the movie’s release on July 25th to see how this story unfolds.
