00:00A new commercial in partnership with a pizza chain featuring characters from Fantastic Four, First Steps has been released, showing the first image of Marvel's first family battling Giganto, the Mole Man's main monster and the very first enemy they faced in the comics.
00:16Back in Fantastic Four No. 1, 1961, it looks like a comic book page brought to life, and while it's clear that some clever editing was involved, it's unmistakably footage from the film repurposed for this pizza promotion.
00:31For months, rumors have circulated that Fantastic Four begins with a flashback to the team's many past battles, remember, they've been the Fantastic Four for four years when the film starts, and this is likely one of them.
00:45It's a smart way for Marvel Studios to showcase what these heroes are capable of in a montage that recaps their past adventures and better establishes their many victories before facing an overwhelming threat like Galactus.
00:58In the comics, Giganto was one of the many deviant mutates who lived on Monster Island.
01:04The Mole Man made him his servant and used him to attack atomic plants around the world.
01:09The Fantastic Four eventually investigated, leading the Mole Man to unleash Giganto against the heroes in the middle of New York City.
