"He’s FINALLY coming"- Marvel Studios’ Tease of Galactus in ‘The Fantastic Four’ Has Left Fans in a Frenzy

Published 07/26/2024, 3:18 AM EDT

The Fantastic Four could be a great avenue to roll out some of the most powerful villains into the MCU through its Phase 6 reboot. And one of the most sought-after villains by the fandom is Galactus, whom fans want as the main bad guy in The Fantastic Four. Amid the flood of speculations on the web, Marvel has finally made its cards clear, hinting at the arrival of Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

This year, Comic-Con San Diego has become a goldmine of surprises for popular shows and movies. At the end of Thursday night's Deadpool & Wolverine panel, Kevin Feige asked everyone to look to the sky above Petco Park just as the clock struck 9:40. And then came the big reveal. Galactus was formed in the sky, along with the logo of The Fantastic Four, through a fireworks-filled drone show.

The drone show became an official confirmation of Galactus’ arrival in the MCU and followed a Merc with the Mouth-themed drone show at the same venue. However, the inclusion of Galactus in The Fantastic Four was predicted by many, especially after fans caught wind that Silver Surfer was going to be a part of the 2025 movie. Nonetheless, Marvel's confirmation really turned up the heat for fans.
