Michael Giacchino (Up, Lost, The Incredibles, Star Trek, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Ratatouille) is set to compose the music for Marvel Studios’ upcoming feature The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film is directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision, The Great) and stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, as well as Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus. John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne & Paul Walter Hauser are also starring. Kevin Feige (Avengers: Endgame, Black Panther) is producing the project. Giacchino’s theme for the title characters and Galactus appeared to have been previewed this past Thursday during a drone show at Comic-Con (check out the video below). The composer has previously scored numerous movies for Marvel, including all MCU Spider-Man films, Doctor Strange, Thor: Love and Thunder (with Nami Melumad) and the special presentation Werewolf by Night, which he also directed. He also composed the Marvel Studios Fanfare, which is currently being used to open all MCU projects. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released in theaters nationwide on July 25, 2025.
Giacchino’s other upcoming projects include Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn and Toby Genkel’s High in the Clouds.
