The Fantastic Four's third-act showdown with Galactus and the Silver Surfer in First Steps has some strikingly familiar beats.

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.

A look at the Fantastic Four in comics from their 1961 debut onwards shows how the the Marvel universe originated from the Four.

First Steps director Matt Shakman has revealed what the cut sequence featuring John Malkovich's Red Ghost entailed, and explains why we're unlikely to ever see it officially released.

This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.

The Fantastic Four have traditionally struggled with the transition to the big screen.

Josh Trank deserved to see his vision for Fantastic Four fail for what it wanted to be, not what it was forced into becoming.
