Herald Galactus Clip Kicks Off the End of the World
Netflix just gave Marvel fans a major surprise — the Herald Galactus Clip from Fantastic Four: First Steps has officially dropped, and it’s sending shivers down spines. In just under a minute, the MCU introduces a terrifying new messenger from the stars who brings one simple message: your planet is marked for death.

“I Herald Galactus” – Full Breakdown of the Clip
In the stunning new footage, a mysterious figure floats above the Earth as helicopters surround her. Her tone is calm, but her words are devastating:
“Are you the protectors of this world?”
“Yes, we are.”
“Your planet is now marked for death. Your world will be consumed by The Devourer. There is nothing you can do to stop him. For he is a universal force, as essential as the stars. Hold your loved ones close. And speak the words you’ve been afraid to speak. Use this time to rejoice and celebrate. For your time is short. I herald his beginning. I herald your end. I herald… Galactus.”
The lines are delivered by a female Herald of Galactus, confirming what fans have long suspected: Marvel is introducing a new, reimagined version of this classic cosmic character — and she’s chilling.

Why the Herald Galactus Clip Matters
The Herald Galactus Clip changes everything. It confirms that:
Galactus is real, and he’s coming.
He’s sending a female Herald ahead of him to prepare the world — not to save it, but to tell us it’s already too late.
This version of the Fantastic Four is facing something far bigger than Doctor Doom or Kang. This is cosmic extinction-level danger.
With Fantastic Four: First Steps set in a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s, this clip delivers a sci-fi tone unlike anything the MCU has done before — stylish, haunting, and high-stakes.
What Comes After the Herald?
This film kicks off Marvel Phase 6, setting up:
Spider-Man: Brand New Day – July 2026
Avengers: Doomsday – December 2026
Avengers: Secret Wars – December 2027
Galactus could be the domino that causes the entire multiverse to collapse. The Herald’s words — “Your time is short” — may echo through every MCU film that follows.
The Herald Galactus Clip is more than just a teaser — it’s a warning shot. Fantastic Four: First Steps isn’t just a superhero film. It’s the beginning of something much bigger, darker, and more galactic. And with Galactus’s arrival now confirmed, the countdown to extinction begins.
