First Steps is now playing in most locations worldwide, and we want to know what ComicBookMovie.com's readers made of the
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.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is getting in on the trend of theaters selling novelty merch for new blockbuster films – specifically, the popcorn bucket craze. While the film offers fans multiple versions of a novelty bucket, there is one item in the line that is also a record-breaker: the Galactus popcorn bucket.
First Steps presents an faithful, entertaining, and compelling version of the story Rise of the Silver Surfer failed to adapt.
This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.
The best thing about First Steps is the aesthetic. It’s far and away my favorite part of this film, and that’s a problem because as much as I do enjoy a solid retrofuturistic aesthetic, it’s not enough to make a mediocre movie worth watching. This is all style over substance.
First Steps continue tradition and include post-credit scene that hint at the future of the MCU? Find out all about it here.
