The Retro-Futurist World-Building of Fantastic Four: First Steps with Kasra Farahani

Production Designer Kasra Farahani breaks down Fantastic Four’- First Steps's retro-futurist language: the Baxter Lab’s white-with-primaries palette, dimensional-printed mosaics, and a New York that’s two-thirds period, one-third future. We cover Yancy Street’s realism (40 storefronts), early-color playback graphics, and how the art department’s graphics threaded into marketing. Perfect for designers and cine-nerds hunting practical methods and color/finish logic.
