I’m still shocked that one of Marvel’s ridiculous movies managed to depict Galactus a whole year before his official debut in the MCU timeline. Galactus, the devourer of worlds and one of Marvel Comics’ most awe-inspiring cosmic forces, is finally joining the MCU in 2025’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Yet in a surprising twist of fate, it wasn’t the Marvel Cinematic Universe that introduced this towering figure to modern audiences first.
