Marvel fans finally have a glimpse of what’s to come. A new promotional spot for The Fantastic Four: First Steps is here with the very first look at Giganto, the monstrous villain straight from the pages of the very first Fantastic Four comic.
The TV spot, made in collaboration with Little Caesars, features Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm battling a towering creature pulled directly from 1961’s Fantastic Four #1.
Giganto, known as Mole Man’s mighty monster, makes an appearance with a design that stays remarkably true to the original comic artwork by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Adaptation of Marvel’s original monster
In the promo, Giganto is seen wreaking havoc as the superhero quartet attempts to take him down. Director Matt Shakman has captured the look and feel with impressive precision. The resemblance to that iconic comic book cover-where a massive creature bursts through the ground as the team rushes in is no accident.
The creature’s green, reptilian form mirrors the one controlled by Mole Man in the comics, leading to speculation that actor Paul Walter Hauser may be portraying the underground villain.
