According to a synopsis for the upcoming film, the Fantastic Four are \"forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond\" and ultimately \"must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).\"

\"Before we went up the first time, you couldn't turn invisible,\" Pascal's Richards tells Kirby's Storm in the trailer. \"Ben wasn't a rock and Johnny never caught fire.\"

Storm replies, \"Ben has always been a rock... Johnny is... Johnny. And I am right here. Whatever life throws at us, we'll face it together -- as a family.\" The final scene from the trailer shows a glimpse of the four in their signature Fantastic Four suits.

The film, directed by Matt Shakman, also stars Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich and Sarah Niles.

Speaking to \"Good Morning America\" after the trailer reveal, Pascal joked that donning the Fantastic Four uniform was \"humbling.\"

\"The suit was very fitting for all of us and had a little bit of a retro go-go boy vibe to it, and I think, you know, we pull it off,\" he laughed.

Moss-Bachrach said keeping Marvel secrets has felt like \"people are constantly trying to, you know, interrogate and sort of pull stuff out of me,\" while Quinn called the project an \"extraordinary journey thus far.\"

Kirby said she and her castmates \"felt so honored\" to play the beloved characters on the big screen.

\"The Fantastic Four: First Steps\" arrives in theaters July 25.

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
