Marvel's first MCU 2025 teaser confirms new and returning heroes

Marvel has given its fans a taste of what’s coming in 2025 and beyond, with a new logo design featuring new and returning heroes.

Now that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, there’s no telling what kind of things we’ll see over the next few years.

The next film to release though will be slightly more grounded than multiversal hijinks, Captain America: Brave New World.

The new logo design for Marvel takes inspiration from basically all of Marvel’s ongoing projects, the comics, films and animation.

While it features several characters we know well, it also gives us the first-look at yet-to-be-seen characters joining the MCU.

Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk was front and centre, but also appearing alongside him were two characters from Fantastic Four: First Steps.

The Human Torch and Herbie were both featured, our first official look at the two characters before their debut in the film next year.

If you don’t know who Herbie is, he's a robot that assists the Fantastic Four in their missions and home life, kind of like Alfred from Batman or Ned from the Spider-Man films. He’s the robot in the chair and he does a fantastic job.

Of course with Fantastic Four: First Steps being an origin story, Herbie will probably be more like a mascot or invention for Reed Richard’s TV show before taking on a larger role when their superhero antics begin.

Nevertheless it’s an exciting first-look, even if it’s not the first time we've had a Human Torch in the MCU.

It’s unclear when we’ll get the official trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps, but with the film set to release in cinemas in July next year, we’ll likely get a sneak peek sometime in the New Year.

Who knows what other characters we’ll see join the MCU too, Avengers: Secret Wars is going to have a wild cast of characters.
