New Fantastic Four TV spot reveals first glimpse of Mole Man’s monster, Giganto

The Fantastic Four fandom has finally got a quick but exciting answer to a question that's been building for months: What will Mole Man's giant monster Giganto look like on screen?

A brand-new TV promo tied to Fantastic Four: First Steps just gave us our first glimpse of the towering beast, and the result has fans buzzing.

The creature's comic book roots haven't been forgotten, but its live-action debut feels built to shake things up.

Giganto’s explosive reveal shows Fantastic Four going back to the beginning

The new TV spot may have come as part of a quirky pizza chain (Little Caesars) tie-in, but it delivered something far more thrilling than just a commercial. It gave the Fantastic Four fandom their first look at Giganto in action.

Pulled straight from the earliest pages of Marvel Comics, this massive green beast is seen tearing through New York City streets while Marvel's First Family jumps into battle. The clip cleverly remakes an iconic comic scene from 1961, where Giganto emerges from the ground as Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben go into action.

Giganto being here in this small clip makes him out to be an early challenge for the group; a throwback to their very first enemy. Staying true to the original storyline, Giganto is shown as the servant of Mole Man, who once unleashed him to target atomic sites around the world.

In this new version, his mission looks just as destructive. The small clip shows Giganto wreaking havoc, offering just enough destruction and drama to leave viewers wanting more.

Mole Man’s monster brings comic accuracy to the MCU

The new MCU Fantastic Four film seems committed to honoring its source material, and Giganto's look proves it. The reptilian creature resembles its comic form closely, from its rugged body to its immense scale.

Fans that are familiar with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four #1 will instantly recognize the tribute. Giganto appears to be more than just another CGI monster, and he symbolizes the franchise's roots, a nod to its beginning before the rise of larger threats like Galactus.

As Mole Man's loyal creature from Monster Isle, Giganto's role goes beyond just spectacle. In the comics, he was first used to destroy power plants as part of a larger plan, and while the promo doesn't reveal everything, the parallels are obvious.

Rumors suggest that actor Paul Walter Hauser might be playing Mole Man, and though this hasn't been officially confirmed, his previous remarks about working on a smart and emotional Fantastic Four film seem to back that up.

The short TV spot makes it clear: this version of Marvel's First Family isn't just another reboot. It's blending nostalgia with sharp visuals and building a foundation by looking back at the team's earliest days.

Giganto may not be the film's biggest threat, but his entry in the MCU marks an important moment, and that is, a way to show off what the heroes have faced before they're thrown into something far more dangerous.

The newest Fantastic Four TV spot brings comic book accuracy by reintroducing Giganto to be more than just a monster. He's a reminder of where the team began in the first place.

With its nostalgia and chaotic energy, the promo hints at a movie that respects its roots while setting the stage for something epic.
