First Steps does an admirable job of introducing Marvel's first superhero team into the MCU along with two of its best villains.

Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby lead a solid cast in this comic-book throwback that doesn't rewrite the genre but celebrates it.

As Reed, Pascal is convincing as the world’s smartest man who is nevertheless overwhelmed by the irrational flood of thoughts and emotions that accompany fatherhood. As written, Sue is a somewhat thankless character, but Kirby manages to add depth to the Invisible Woman with subtle performance choices.
