The film - set against a backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world - follows Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and The Thing as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. On the blue carpet, Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm/Human Torch but previously auditioned for the role of Spider-Man, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of working with Tom Holland within the MCU, as Spider-Man and Johnny Storm are close friends in the comics.

"I think we'd have a laugh. I've never met Tom and I think he's brilliant; his Peter Parker is the best one ever, I think he's our best-ever Spider-Man, so why not? Let's do it, get it moving."

"It's a very surreal timing for me. I think the most moving thing for me was that in a big movie like this, Sue spends half the time pregnant, she gives birth and then she has a newborn while facing some huge intergalactic, existential threat to humanity," Kirby explained. "She's never sidelined and she's absolutely part of it; the fact that she's a mother makes her stronger I think and it taught me so much about how powerful that experience is. As she does in the comics, I really hope that translates."

She continued, "I've never done this kind of acting before and I think it's really important as an actor to try different things and see what works and what doesn't work. I had so much fun making this so it was really exciting and I would definitely do it again." The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on Friday. See the first reactions here.
