What The Fantastic Four: First Steps Galactus Magazine Cover Means
For non-comic book readers who are seeingThe Fantastic Four: First Stepscovers, it might raise some questions about whether the Marvel foe can change his size. In the Marvel Comics canon,Galactus has always been able to alter his size, going from being bigger than a whole planet to being as tall as a regular human. WithThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsbeing more accurate to the comics than thepreviousFantastic Fourmovies, Galactus' altering size is seemingly one of the things that will honor his comic book counterpart.
While they are highlighting his size on theEmpire Magazinecover, it shouldn’t come as a shock thatThe Fantastic Four: First Steps’Galactuswill actually see him in a much larger form throughout the movie when it releases in July.The Fantastic Four: First Stepstrailers have already shown Galactus not only walking and stomping his way through a city, but also towering over it, meaning this is definitely not just for promotional purposes. Even if it hasn’t been seen inThe Fantastic Four: First Stepstrailers yet, it would be more surprising if there isn’t at least one scene where Galactus is much bigger than Earth.
