TV & Film
Let’s get honest — the Fantastic Four’s movie history is rocky. From the campy 2005 version to the critically panned 2015 reboot, this team has struggled to shine on the big screen. But The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) is ready to turn that legacy around.
In today’s show, we look back at the franchise's ups and downs and talk about how Marvel Studios is fixing past mistakes. One major change? Tone. With Matt Shakman’s touch, the film promises a perfect balance of character development, spectacle, and heart.
We’ll also dig into how Marvel is building this reboot from the ground up, connecting it carefully to the wider MCU rather than forcing it in. The Fantastic Four is being treated not as a side property, but as the new core of the Marvel universe.
And if the cast lives up to the expectations — with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and the rest bringing real emotional gravity — this could be the beginning of a whole new era for superhero cinema.
