The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

[Stalker0]

You know I cant think of anything Jessica Alba has been in since the terrible F4, what has she been up to?

She runs her own brand of clothes and makeup and such. Makes way more than she ever she did as an actress so she is very successful

Do we want to do a Spoiler Thread for this movie?

Great to hear that, I remember her breakthrough role in Dark Angel when she was being touted as next big thing, then F4 gave her a 'big' movie lead - and then nothing.

Kinda reminds me of Pheobe Cates stepping back from Hollywood for family and business

yes we do

It was the first superhero movie that I've left in a long time with no notes. It was really good and really well-done.

In a reminder of how adorably geeky/nerdy Iman Vellani is

 

[ART!]

Sue Storm has massive, loving MAMA BEAR ENERGY, and you can just feel the love radiating out from her for the men in her family and for her community, which happens to be the whole earth.

I didn't know what to think of her casting, but you hit the nail on the head. Her performance is the most charismatic of the four, by far.

I'm going to make a prediction. So ... you can come back and see how right (or wrong) I am.

I think FF4 is going to do ... fine-ish, but underperform. Let me list the reasons-

.....

What does it mean? IMO, it's not going to do Lilo & Stitch numbers. It's not going to do Minecraft numbers. The current domestic box office projection is $100-110m (domestic) for opening weekend.

In other words, I think that if it manages to get to $600m, it would have to be considered an unqualified success. For reference, that's the Iron Man 2 line.

So it's always good to look back and see how your predictions faired. And I'd say ... this looks like one of my better ones.

FF4 currently is at $437m worldwide. It may crawl over $500m.

That makes it the most successful MCU movie of the year, but it won't hit the unqualified success of the Iron Man 2 line. It won't catch up to F1.

And for those who are still into the DC v. Marvel, it won't catch up to Superman.

PS- for those who need talking points, I have them for you!

DC Fan- Our movie outperformed all three of your movies this year. Come at the King, better not miss!

Marvel Fan- Our three movies were Fantastic Four (never performed well), a bad Captain America movie with a new Cap, and a movie with characters almost no one knew. Meanwhile you used your most iconic character, and you couldn't even get to $600m.

Others- Huh. Maybe y'all need to shut up about superheroes and just start making Dragon and Dinosaur movies.

Hopefully this year will finally prove that the days of 1 billion dollar superhero movies are behind us. The genre has been exhausted like every genre that has come before, and now its only the die hards that are watching these, not the mainstream audiences.

And that's just fine, it was bound to happen sooner or later (frankly this genre got a much better run than most). It time to tighten the belts on these budgets. Its time for $500 million to be a solid profitable win, not a "we barely squeaked over our budget".

I'd be quite as happy to see a return to the $10M film that relies on writing. A blockbuster is nice, every now and then but, as with emergencies, if everything is one then nothing is one.
