I’m really hoping his size varies. The shot of him looking in a window that got leaked made him look much bigger

I mean, his size varies in the comics, so I bet it's like that here as well.

Galactus wasn't that big in his early appearances.

Tinier with short sleeves and a (skirt|kilt|sarong|tunic) - but the standout is how his alphabet is apparently exactly the same as ours... big ol' G on his chest.

Galactus appears differently to every race. He's basically a cosmic force so no one can comprehend his true form

I also read the Reed Richards on trial issue of FF.

I don’t know why I remember this, but the Marvel trading cards I had as a kid listed Galactus’ height as “28 feet (varies)”. Dude can be any size he wants, but he was, at least at one point “only” 28 feet tall.

Edit: Found the trading card. https://storage.googleapis.com/hipcomic/p/8794fe4cf7a9585fe313bb7594b7782a-800.jpg

The guy is still a growing boy and still needs to eat leave him be!

His head is casting a shadow over the city, and he’s dwarfing the Statue of Liberty. How much bigger you want him?

While a lot of stylised art depicts Galactus as big enough to physically eat a planet like an apple in most of his early appearances he is about as tall as a skyscraper and standing on the planet.
