Fantastic Four: First Steps is doing well at the box office and has just surpassed another notable superhero film in terms of domestic takings! Much has been made of the “fall of the MCU” as the franchise that once dominated the box office has slumped over the last few years. 2025 has been rough, as Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* were both seen as box office underperformers - mostly due to the outrageously high budgets of both films. The Fantastic Four: First Steps surpasses The Incredibles at the US box officeAs of Labor Day, First Steps has grossed a worldwide total of $507.8 million. It's widely regarded as one of the best superhero movies ever made - and certainly among the all-time best animated superhero movies.
