'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn dish on film preparations while chatting with THR at San Diego Comic-Con. Plus, they talk about the pressure to deliver the film to fans.
00:00I just heard that the title of this film has a little bit to do with Neil Armstrong for
00:05Steps on the Moon.
00:06What can you share about the title and why it fits this movie?
00:11There's definitely some space stuff relating to Neil Armstrong.
00:15We've got some space in our movie.
00:17That's probably all I can say before they come for the people that I care about.
00:21Yeah, I can't give too much away.
00:23But there's definitely some space in the film.
00:27And I would just add to that, and also like the time, it's in like 1964, 65, something like that.
00:34So that, I mean, in terms of the Neil Armstrong, you know, like we're in that sort of same, I don't know, I guess, yeah, around there.
00:4460s in space.
00:47You start shooting this week, right?
00:50Yes, we start on Tuesday in London.
00:56Have you gotten a chance to bond as a cast yet?
00:58Or are you really just sort of meeting, you know, for the first time today and kind of before?
01:03Well, we've had the luxury of three weeks of rehearsing and, well, it requires that.
01:08Obviously, we're representing this family dynamic and that doesn't happen straight away.
01:14So we've been very fortunate enough in having time, spending time together, rehearsing, doing table work, going through the script and then doing lots of fittings and trying to get it ready for Tuesday.
01:25So, yeah, there's been some bonding on that, but it's a long process.
01:27We've got five months and then some maybe, so, yeah.
01:33Yeah, I agree with Joe.
01:35Since you are, you know, having this family dynamic, has anybody already emerged as the little brother or little sister of the group?
01:41No comment.
01:43Is it you?
01:46Well, I guess I'm the youngest, so not much I can do.
01:50Joe's mentioned that he's the youngest in literally every single interview that we've done so far.
01:55Have I?
01:56Yeah.
01:57Every single one?
01:58Yeah.
01:59Most ones.
02:00I'm the youngest, so I guess I'm, yeah, the younger brother by default, I guess.
02:05What was it like being up on that Hall H stage today and feeling the energy of that crowd?
02:11Yeah.
02:12Very, like, overwhelming.
02:13Very, I mean, very inspiring and stressful.
02:16You know, like, I was telling Joe, like, you know, had we already made the movie, it would be quite cathartic, you know?
02:22But it's like a lot of responsibility that we're being trusted with.
02:25You know, there's, you know, the fans, the Marvel fans are famously, you know, supportive and invested and passionate.
02:33And so it's like, okay, I'm just, it's sort of refocused me in terms of what the task at hand is and the responsibility that we've been entrusted with.
02:42I don't know, but mostly I'm really inspired, yeah.
02:45All right.
02:46Yeah, I echo everything Eben said.
02:48It's extraordinary to be near that much devotion and excitement for something that we are yet to make.
02:54So there's certainly a little pressure to get back and try and deliver the thing that people want to see.
