Marvel fans are divided over our first look at The Thing in the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer

The first trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally debuted, after a short teaser dropped for the footage.

While the movie looks like a retro-futuristic romp featuring Marvel's First Family, one point in particular has fans debating: the CGI on The Thing. Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays the character, whose real name is Ben Grimm, and we got our first look at him post-transformation in the trailer.

"The concept feels great but holy shit do they need to work on the animation for The Thing it is so stiff, unnatural and doesn’t match Ebon's performance at all," says someone else.
