The Fantastic Four: First Steps will bring Retro Futurism into the superhero world, blending vintage visions of the future with the Marvel universe. The story focuses on the journey and adaptation of the Fantastic Four as they learn to harness their powers while exploring the technology and architecture of a new world. This approach invites audiences to experience creativity and the concept of “the future as imagined in the past” through the lens of superheroes.
Architecture
The sets and buildings draw inspiration from Googie Architecture and Space Age Modernism, featuring upward sweeping lines, large circular and oval forms, curved glass walls, and reflective metallic materials. These elements give the Fantastic Four’s world a high-tech feel infused with the charm of the 1960s. The proportions and shapes of the structures convey a sense of power and grandeur, fitting seamlessly into the Marvel universe.
Color Palette
The visual style emphasizes turquoise blue, metallic silver, and vivid orange colors that evoke a bright, vibrant, and hopeful world. This palette creates harmony between the environment and the characters, while clearly reinforcing the Retro Futuristic atmosphere.
