Witnessing the Magic: 'First Steps' Animation Process Unveiled, Adding Life to Herbie in a Spectacular Way
Get ready, Marvel fans! The much-anticipated home release of "Fantastic Four: First Steps" is just around the corner. Scheduled for digital release on September 23, and Blu-ray, 4K UHD, and DVD release on October 14, the film's home edition promises a wealth of bonus features.
The home release will feature a commentary track from director Matt Shakman and production designer Kasra Farahani, offering unique insights into the making of the film. Additionally, viewers can enjoy three behind-the-scenes featurettes, a gag reel, and deleted scenes, providing a comprehensive look at the film's production.
Herbie, the breakout star of "Fantastic Four: First Steps", is a robot who plays a significant role in the film. Created through a combination of advanced animatronics and practical puppetry, Herbie is just as much a member of the First Family as Johnny, Reed, Sue, or Ben.
Herbie's duties in the film are varied, operating as a jack-of-all-trades ally for the team. In Reed's lab, Herbie provides important assistance, and at home, Herbie assists Ben Grimm in the kitchen for family dinners. One of Herbie's most endearing roles is looking after little baby Franklin, showing a nurturing side to the robot.
Herbie's character has a long-standing legacy, having been a part of animation and comics for many years. In the film, actor Jack Parker brings Herbie to life with a human touch, making the robot a beloved character among fans.
While details about the future of "Doctor Who" are also available, there is no public information about a character named Herbie in "Fantastic Four: First Steps," nor about an actor who played such a robot that was backgrounded but achieved a breakthrough.
Stay tuned for updates on upcoming Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, as well as news about the future of the DC Universe on film and TV. "Fantastic Four: First Steps" is coming home next week, so get ready to welcome Herbie into your homes!
