While we remain excited about Thunderbolts*, the MCU movie we’re most looking forward to is The Fantastic Four: First Steps. After years of less-than-stellar attempts at a live-action version of Marvel’s First Family, we all let out a sigh of relief when the first trailer dropped. It looked like Marvel Studios and director Matt Shakman were doing justice at last to the iconic super team. Honestly, there’s only one thing that could’ve improved the trailer besides seeing Pedro Pascal using stretchy powers as Mister Fantastic: the team in LEGO form. Thankfully, via Geeks Are Sexy, we’ve learned of a LEGO Fantastic Four trailer, created by YouTuber user Trevor Carlee. You can watch it in full right here:
As you can see, Trevor Carlee recreated the teaser trailer rather perfectly, nailing the film’s mid-century aesthetics with LEGO animation. We may actually like the look of his LEGO H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot over the one used in the actual film. And somehow, the Thing seemed destined to be a LEGO character. It’s a short jump from “rocks” to “bricks” after all. Seeing Galactus’ giant head in brick form also tickled us. We’re fairly certain there will be an actual LEGO version of that at some point. Carlee also posted a side-by-side trailer comparison of the original and LEGO versions of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which you can also view down below:
Trevor Carlee is an animator who is a massive LEGO fan and has done minifigure animations for everything from Games of Thrones, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to even Succession. His most recent LEGO films were for the new Superman trailer, as well as several scenes from Deadpool & Wolverine. This was only for the teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, so when the full trailer drops, we hope Carlee hits us with a LEGO version of that one too. If only to see an elastic Reed Richards show off his powers in LEGO form. We’re very curious to see how that might look.
