Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Everett Collection SATURDAY AM: The Fantastic Four: First Steps at $120M-$125M is one of the sixth best openings for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post Covid and that’s a great thing.

First Steps” stretched its arms around $57 million from 4,125 theaters across Friday and preview screenings. Per Disney’s numbers, that’s the second-biggest opening day of the calendar year, ranking just behind “A Minecraft Movie” ($57.

First Steps continue tradition and include post-credit scene that hint at the future of the MCU? Find out all about it here.

As the filmmaker’s three-year journey wound down on the project, he realized a key moment was missing, and managed to shoot it within a few months of the film's opening.

The best thing about First Steps is the aesthetic. It’s far and away my favorite part of this film, and that’s a problem because as much as I do enjoy a solid retrofuturistic aesthetic, it’s not enough to make a mediocre movie worth watching. This is all style over substance.

While the current super-quartet of of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bacharach were present and accounted for, an earlier version of the FF also walked the blue carpet. Thanks to First Steps director Matt Shakman, the lead performers from legendary producer Roger Corman 's ill-fated 1994 adaptation were on the guest list.

First Steps," the core Four superheroes are a bit of a bore, and in a way that works to the advantage of this grounded tale of heroism and sacrifice, which is scaled properly for what it is.It's not a flashy or over-the-top special effects extravaganza,

First Steps" introduced the most powerful being in the MCU -Franklin Richards – and was pretty nonchalant about it.
