That might sound like no big deal, but after 2023’s “The Marvels,” this spring’s fourth “Captain America” movie and “Thunderbolts*” all underperformed by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) standards, the new “Fantastic Four” may offer broader audience appeal by not pulling from other franchises.

Outside of 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' the reboot looks to score the best domestic opening for Kevin Feige's superhero studio since 2022's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.'

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Everett Collection SATURDAY AM: The Fantastic Four: First Steps at $120M-$125M is one of the sixth best openings for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post Covid and that’s a great thing.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps makes its way into the world in grand fashion and is definitely worth your premium format dollars. If you want to skip the physical stuff, the IMAX presentation immerses you with glorious sound, gigantic picture, and its own 3D variant worth considering.

The actress reveals things aren't that serious between her and Ben Grimm, adding, "I'm also seeing four other rocks, you should know, at this time."

First Steps' includes two post-credits scenes. Here's how that big reveal sets up what's coming in Phase 6 of the MCU.

The $79.95 Galactus popcorn buckets are limited edition and the first batch has already sold out online. The next group will be available on July 26.

As the filmmaker’s three-year journey wound down on the project, he realized a key moment was missing, and managed to shoot it within a few months of the film's opening.
