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.

Galactus is one of the biggest baddies in the entire canon of Marvel Comics, but Fantastic Four: First Steps makes an odd creative choice with the character.

First Steps star Ralph Ineson has shared some new behind-the-scenes photos, revealing our first look at the practical costume he donned as the MCU's terrifying Galactus. Check it out!

Working with then-unknown filmmaker Robert Eggers on 'The Witch' supercharged the actor's career, eventually allowing him to play one of the biggest characters in the Marvel mythos.

As Fantastic Four: First Steps heads towards its final act, the group is torn between two impossible choices: sacrifice all of Earth to Galactus, or Reed and Sue must give up their child Franklin, who contains the Power Cosmic and enough energy to satiate Galactus' hunger.

In addition to setting up Galactus and the Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four: First Steps finds time to tease another major villain.

The best thing about First Steps is the aesthetic. It’s far and away my favorite part of this film, and that’s a problem because as much as I do enjoy a solid retrofuturistic aesthetic, it’s not enough to make a mediocre movie worth watching. This is all style over substance.

The Fantastic Four's third-act showdown with Galactus and the Silver Surfer in First Steps has some strikingly familiar beats.
