The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the latest entry in the 2025 movie schedule to dominate the box office, and for many, including me, it’s a great soft reset of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the things I most liked about it was that it wasn’t heavy on the MCU-cameos like so many others have been.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” clobbered the competition and leaped into the No. 1 spot on Friday — its second in theaters — with $11.7 million in earnings, according to The Numbers.

First Steps has made nearly $370 million globally after a big box office drop during its second weekend of release.
