Galactus is played in Fantastic Four: First Steps by British actor Ralph Ineson. The star has come a long way since playing David Brent's obnoxious friend Chris Finch in The Office (UK), with acclaimed turns in Game of Thrones, Chernobyl and Robert Eggers' The Witch bringing him to Hollywood's attention.

First Steps ending reshapes the MCU’s future? The finale delivers cosmic stakes, a major sacrifice, and the rise of Franklin Richards’ power. With Galactus defeated and new threats emerging, Earth-828 enters a new era.

First Steps avoids the worst MCU habits, embraces classic family values, and aims high with cosmic stakes—but familiar missteps in the final act diminish what could have been.
