First Steps kicks off MCU Phase 6 by introducing Galactus, the cosmic World-Devourer. But Galactus isn’t merely a villain with an insatiable hunger; his consumption of worlds is tied to the Marvel Universe’s multiversal cycle of destruction and rebirth,

Galactus is played in Fantastic Four: First Steps by British actor Ralph Ineson. The star has come a long way since playing David Brent's obnoxious friend Chris Finch in The Office (UK), with acclaimed turns in Game of Thrones, Chernobyl and Robert Eggers' The Witch bringing him to Hollywood's attention.

Galactus is one of the biggest baddies in the entire canon of Marvel Comics, but Fantastic Four: First Steps makes an odd creative choice with the character.
