New Teaser Of Fantastic Four: First Steps Shows Mole Man's Monster Giganto In Action
Last Updated:
Fans got a first glimpse of Giganto, a giant green monster controlled by Mole Man, from Fantastic Four: First Steps, in a new Little Caesars commercial.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is generating much buzz among the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, who are excited to watch it in theatres. The studio has promised the film will stay true to the original story from the comics. Recently, they showed how they carefully recreated the very first cover of the 1961 Fantastic Four comic.
Fans got the first glimpse of Giganto, a giant green monster controlled by Mole Man, in a new Little Caesars commercial. The monster looks just like it did in the comic created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby years ago.
The ad features a worker talking about their pizza when he suddenly gets attacked by the giant monster. Soon after, we see Sue Storm, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch and Ben Grimm coming to the rescue.
While the clip looks fun, it may actually be taken from the upcoming movie and edited for the pizza promotion. For months, fans have been hearing that First Steps might show flashbacks of the team's earlier fights and this could be one of those scenes.

In the comics, Giganto is controlled by Mole Man, who uses him to attack different locations. When the Fantastic Four find out, Mole Man sends the giant monster after them in New York City. In Fantastic Four: First Steps, actor Paul Walter Hauser is expected to play Mole Man. He has shared positive comments about his time on set.
While appearing on Sirius XM earlier this year, Paul said, 'I think, from what I've seen, and obviously, I can't say much about it, but I will say the short time I was on set, dude, they're making a cool movie, man. This is a smart, chic Marvel movie that really focuses on family as part of the theme. And you really kind of fall in love with those characters, I think. And that's what's missing sometimes if you don't fall in love with these characters, and you keep putting them in peril, we don't really care. You know, you got to make us care first. And I think Marvel's hopefully getting back to some of that."

Elio review: Pixar's new offering is sweet and funny but lacks spark
Pixar's latest outing, 'Elio', is a heartwarming and visually rich journey that feels both contemporary and comfortably familiar. Voiced by Yonas Kibreab, the titular Elio is a daydreaming, orphaned misfit who ends up becoming Earth's accidental ambassador in a colourful alien world. The result is a film that's sweet, funny, and family-friendly, but also one that lacks the spark of Pixar's finest by Adrian Molina with co-directors Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, 'Elio' is packed with warmth and wonder, but much of it stays on the surface. The film's premise revolves around an imaginative child being mistaken for someone important in an otherworldly setting. This setting leans heavily into Pixar's well-worn 'misunderstood kid meets magical world' template. It is almost like 'Inside Out' meets 'Lilo & Stitch', but without the same emotional punch or layered film begins grounded in real-world science and emotional resonance, but soon the narrative slips into chaotic territory - cloning, galactic politics, and a villainous 'Blood Emperor' (voiced by Brad Garrett) whose Marvel-like menace feels Elio's friendship with the Emperor's insecure son Glordon (Remy Edgerly) offers the film's sweetest emotional thread, it too gets a bit lost in the chaos. Zoe Saldana brings steady warmth as Elio's aunt, but many alien characters remain forgettable and overly the premise holds promise, the writing doesn't quite rise to the occasion several times. The emotional beats feel undercooked, especially when compared to the nuanced storytelling Pixar is known for. The characters or ideas are not given enough space to breath before we transition from one place to another. The film introduces layered themes like loss, loneliness, identity but often abandons them in favour of rapid-fire plot developments and quirky distractions. Glordon's arc and the potential father-son commentary get drowned in the visual noise. It's a script that feels like it's trying to juggle too many ideas, resulting in a finale that's flashier than is certainly a step up from some of Disney's recent misfires. Its retro-Disney vibes, sincere message, and humour make it engaging for kids and comforting for parents. But for those expecting a bold new Pixar frontier, this cosmic tale feels just a little too safe and is now out in theatres.3 out of 5 stars to Elio.
