It's pretty clear that whoever is doing the marketing and social media for The Fantastic Four: First Steps is having fun with it. Since the beginning, the materials have been walking the line of doing in-universe viral marketing like the People Magazine cover or more traditional TV spots and trailers. These teams are often overworked and underappreciated, and we have seen countless shows and movies live and die by their marketing and social media teams. Anyway, we got a new sneak peek today, and this one praises Fantastivision, which has been a staple part of this marketing for a while now. For example, if you've seen any IMAX films lately, you probably saw the Fantastic Four themed bumper, and it mentions Fantastivision.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps – Summary, Cast List, Release Date

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).
