The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally did right by Marvel's First Family on screen, but it would be wrong to say that there weren't some nitpicks.

Chief among them was the portrayal of Mister Fantastic's powers. Reed Richards' stretching abilities were dialled back and grounded in reality, an interesting decision on filmmaker Matt Shakman's part that, unfortunately, robbed us of some incredible visuals.

In a new piece of concept art from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, artist Dipankar Talukdar has pushed the limits of what Reed can do. As you'll see below, the hero wraps himself around Galactus' arm while holding Franklin's protective pod in one of his hands.

There's a lot of overlap between the Fantastic Four and "Star Trek. Both franchises are pulp sci-fi born from the 1960s "New Frontier" optimism that the stars were within our reach. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" director Matt Shakman understands that. Before he signed up for "First Steps," Shakman was even going to direct a "Star Trek" movie, and it still feels like he was getting the "Trek" out of his system when making this one. "First Steps" portrays the F4 as astronauts more so than any previous movies. They even take a starship ride to seek out the planet eater Galactus (Ralph Ineson), after his herald the Silver Surfer...

Robert Downey Jr. threatened to walk out of Avengers: Doomsday because the script was too “female focused.” Allegedly. According to a wild new Marvel rumor.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is buzzing with a bombshell rumor: Robert Downey Jr., set to dominate as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, reportedly threatened to ditch his $200 million Disney deal over a script deemed “heavily female.”

This unverified claim has set social media and fan forums ablaze, sparking debates about Rdj’s return, the Multiverse Saga’s direction, and Marvel’s high-stakes future. Let’s dive into the rumor’s origins, its credibility, and how it ties into the epic plans for Doomsday and Secret Wars,...

Disney’s Destination D23 2025 came and went, and the Walt Disney Studios panel was shorter than many fans had hoped when it came to updates on Avengers: Doomsday.

Despite the limited new information, there was one standout moment. The Russo Brothers appeared on screen with Paul Rudd, sharing a message from the set that excited the audience. The directors told fans that Avengers: Doomsday is the biggest film they have ever worked on.

Paul Rudd then shared his own message, giving fans a glimpse of what’s happening behind the scenes. “We’re surrounded by jaw dropping sets and some truly incredible talent, many of who you just saw teased in that great video.

Disney’s Destination D23 2025 wrapped up with a brief but exciting panel from Walt Disney Studios.

While fans didn’t get many new details or exclusive sneak peeks about Avengers: Doomsday, there was one big highlight. The Russo Brothers appeared on screen with Paul Rudd and delivered a message directly from the set. According to the Russo Brothers, Avengers: Doomsday is the biggest movie they have ever worked on.

Paul Rudd took the spotlight next and shared his thoughts on the film. “We’re surrounded by jaw dropping sets and some truly incredible talent, many of who you just saw teased in that great video. Bringing this story to the...

We've been hearing a great deal about Chris Evans' role as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor has repeatedly denied reports about his return, but the trades were first to reveal that he and Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter would be part of the movie, and they're rarely wrong.

Recently, we've been led to believe that Captain America will be a key figure in this story, all because of what he did in Avengers: Endgame. In the 2019 movie, Steve travelled back in time to return the Infinity Stones to their rightful place in history. However, his decision to remain in the past for a happy ending with Peggy might...

As summer 2025 heats up, Disney’s blockbuster lineup is dominating theaters worldwide, blending high-stakes superhero epics, cosmic family adventures, and heartfelt live-action remakes that tug at nostalgia strings.

Here’s the Tl;Dr…

Disney’s 2025 theatrical hits typically hit Disney Plus 90-120 days after cinema release.

Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s biggest projects, bringing back Robert Downey Jr. and reuniting the Russo Brothers with the MCU. Amid ongoing speculation around the project, Marvel Studios revealed the main cast before production began in England, but fans remain convinced there are still surprises being kept under wraps.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Hints At MCU Return

One actor who has now fueled that belief is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Valentina, known as the shady CIA director who has appeared in several post-credit scenes, has been steadily taking...

Backed by strong reviews and positive word-of-mouth, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is on track to surpass the global box office’s coveted $500 million milestone. While it has fallen short of initial expectations, the Pedro Pascal–starrer still ranks as the ninth highest-grossing film 2025. Its current worldwide tally stands at $492.4 million, trailing Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which has earned $598.1 million (Source: Box Office Mojo).

Ridley Scott has confirmed that he is already working on Gladiator 3 while leaving the possibility open for another Alien prequel.

The legendary director spoke about his plans recently, saying, “Gladiator is in process right now. Another Alien prequel – yeah, if I get an idea, for sure.”

This comes after the release of Gladiator II in 2024, the sequel to the 2000 hit. The film was directed and produced by Scott, with a screenplay written by David Scarpa.

It stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington. Mescal takes over the role of Lucius Verus Aurelius, while Nielsen and Derek Jacobi returned from the first film.

Gladiator II...

Ridley Scott has shared new updates about two of his biggest film series, confirming that Gladiator 3 is already in the works while leaving the door open for another Alien prequel.

Speaking recently, the legendary director said, “Gladiator is in process right now. Another Alien prequel – yeah, if I get an idea, for sure.”

Scott’s comments come just months after the release of Gladiator II in 2024, a long-awaited follow-up to his 2000 hit.

The second film was directed and produced by Scott, with a script written by David Scarpa. It starred Paul Mescal as Lucius Verus Aurelius, along with Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington. Nielsen...

When we last saw Tom Hiddleston's Loki, he'd taken his place on a throne situated at the Citadel at the End of Time. The God of Stories now powers the Multiverse, though the existence of Incursions suggests it might be a temporary fix.

Loki will return in Avengers: Doomsday, and we now have some spoilery details about what he'll bring to the movie. Earlier today, photographer @UnBoxPHD was first to reveal that Hiddleston is "rumoured to have filmed today for Avengers Doomsday."

Since then, Daniel Richtman has chimed in to explain, "Tom Hiddleston has filmed a scene in Steve and Peggy's home where he's having a [conversation] with them." So,...

Ridley Scott said he turned down $20 million to make “Terminator 3.”

“I’m proud about this. I turned down a $20 million fee. See, I can’t be bought, dude,” Scott said in an interview with The Guardian published Thursday.

The director went on to say that he inquired about how much the film’s star Arnold Schwarzenegger would get for a third film, though he ended up still turning the down the multi-million dollar offer.

“Someone said: ‘Ask what Arnie gets.’ I thought: ‘I’ll try it out.’ I said: ‘I want what Arnie gets.’ When they said yes, I thought: ‘F—k me.’ But I couldn’t do it,...

When Marvel Studios unveiled the Multiverse Saga slate, the plan was for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to be released in May 2025, with Avengers: Secret Wars following this November.

2023's strikes changed things, as did the tepid response to many recent MCU movies and TV shows. Now, we're getting Avengers: Doomsday next December, with Avengers: Secret Wars following in December 2027. Doctor Doom has taken Kang the Conqueror's place, and Marvel Studios only has Spider-Man: Brand New Day and a mystery July 2027 release on the way before this Saga ends.

A story from Murphy's Multiverse is receiving some attention online today, after the site suggested that the untitled release could be a secret,...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally brought Marvel’s First Family to the big screen in style, delivering a retro-futuristic adventure that’s equal parts family drama and cosmic spectacle.

Directed by Matt Shakman and starring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, the film skips the tired origin story to dive straight into the team’s established heroics.

But with theaters still buzzing from its July 25, 2025, release, fans are already wondering: when can we kick back at home and stream this MCU entry on Disney Plus?...

Marvel’s ambitious reboot, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, arrived with cosmic fanfare but crashed at the box office, sparking debates about superhero fatigue and the MCU’s trajectory.

Despite a stellar cast—Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm—and a unique retro-futuristic vibe, the film grossed just $491.9 million worldwide against a $200 million budget.

While profitable on paper, its performance pales next to MCU heavy-hitters, especially with DC’s Superman soaring past $600 million in the same summer slot. As Phase Six opener, this stumble raises red flags for Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. Yet, history shows...

Joseph Quinn’s iconic 2025 thriller, Warfare, is finally getting its streaming release after making waves in theaters earlier this year. As per Deadline, September 12, 2025 onwards, the Iraq War drama will be available to watch on HBO Max in the US, with its official HBO premiere airing the same evening at 8 Pm Et.

Directed by Alex Garland and Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, Warfare tells a gripping, real-time story of a Navy Seal platoon living inside an Iraqi family’s home while tracking US troop movements through insurgent territory. Overall, the film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of war, making it thought-provoking and tough to watch.

With Joseph...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps was a breezy adventure for the McU's First Family with a runtime under two hours. Still, John Malkovich's Red Ghost was left on the cutting room floor, and the team's previous adventures were condensed into an admittedly fun opening montage.

Unlike many of Earth 616's heroes, the Fantastic Four are celebrities and beloved by the public. In a new piece of concept art shared by Rodney Fuentebella, we learn that the team spends time visiting sick children in the hospital.

This would have been a great moment to see on screen, particularly when so many MCU actors have suited up and done this in the real world,...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, has emerged as her highest-grossing film at the domestic box office. The MCU movie has surpassed the domestic haul of Kirby’s Mission: Impossible—Fallout. It is the highest-grossing movie of Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn at the worldwide box office, but not Vanessa’s. Keep scrolling for the deets.

This is her Marvel debut, and she plays the Invisible Woman, aka Sue Storm, one of the members of the Fantastic Four team. Kirby is an English actress who is...

With a current global haul of $491.9 million, the latest Fantastic Four reboot is ahead of several popular 2025 titles, including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Sinners. Despite an uneven box office run, The Fantastic Four: First Steps currently ranks as the ninth highest-grossing movie of the year.

Backed by strong reviews from critics and positive word-of-mouth, First Steps is expected to cross the coveted $500 million mark at the global box office this weekend. As it heads into its sixth weekend in theaters and inches closer to that milestone, the Pedro Pascal-starrer is also on track to challenge...

It was earlier this month that we first heard about a supposed clash between two actors on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. A joke was said to have been received poorly, prompting a verbal altercation that saw Marvel Studios offer the aggrieved, unnamed star the opportunity to shoot all future scenes separately.

The fact that would cost millions of dollars showed the actor that the studio had taken their complaints seriously, and it was enough for them to let bygones be bygones. Both parties reportedly shook hands and moved on, but speculation ran rampant online about who was involved.

Somewhere along the line, theories that it might be Robert Downey Jr....

Back in 2023, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta, who played Namor in the Marvel Studios sequel, was hit with some very serious allegations by saxophonist María Elena Ríos, who accused the actor of being a "sexual predator" in a series of Tweets.

Huerta released a statement shortly after, categorically denying Rios' claims and calling them “false and completely unsubstantiated.” However, the actor did decide to drop out of a Netflix film titled Fiesta en la Madriguera, in which he was set to play the lead.

“Given the impact of the recent false statements by María Elena Ríos and the damage they have caused, I have no choice but to...

There's a lot of intrigue surrounding Avengers: Doomsday, especially as we've seen little in the way of buildup to the movie originally titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Sure, we've had a few Multiversal tales in the "Multiverse Saga," but only the post-credits scenes for Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps have really teed up Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom as the McU's new big bad.

Thunderbolts* established that the New Avengers and Sam Wilson's Avengers team are butting heads over a trademark, and according to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, that schism will be a big plot point heading into Avengers: Doomsday.

Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now approaching its sixth weekend in theaters, and the MCU reboot is still hanging in there at the box office.

Despite the perception that the latest big-screen outing for Marvel's First Family underperformed (it's probably safe to assume it didn't do as well as the studio hoped it would), the movie is expected to pass the $500 million mark this weekend. Not an outstanding showing, but far from a disaster in the current box office climate.

Will we get a sequel? The team is set to return for Avengers: Doomsday, and rumor has it that director Matt Shakman has had discussions about taking the helm of another movie.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is quite vast, which means there are several angles and characters from which stories can be told. An expansion to the McU's Avengers franchise has not materialized since Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Marvel is intent on changing that narrative soon, with the addition of two Avengers movies in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Both will help wrap the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. Doomsday comes first, with a release date of late 2026 already set as fans look ahead to the return of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. However, a major MCU star has yet to hear if she will be back for the upcoming movie.

The cast slate...

Avengers: Doomsday is turning into a superhero fest bigger than Avengers: Endgame. Most high-profile actors are either already engaged or are rumored to be attached to the project. While actors like Robert Downey Jr and Anthony Mackie treat fans with behind-the-scenes teases, some like Alan Cumming naively give out important details. However, there are a few actors who are talking about the scope of their roles. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta is among them.

Huerta made his MCU debut with Wakanda Forever as the villain Namor. There was a lot of hype around his character; thankfully, the actor’s performance and the story both justified it. His role continues in Doomsday nonetheless,...

Dafne Keen first played Laura/X-23 in 2017's Logan, and finally reprised the role in last summer's Deadpool & Wolverine. The movie ended with the mutant being reunited with her "father," Wolverine, on Earth 10005, setting the stage for Keen to hopefully reprise the role in Avengers: Doomsday. 

The expectation among fans is that she'll suit up as the female Wolverine in that or perhaps even as a permanent fixture in the post-Secret Wars MCU. 

Talking to Screen Rant at Fan Expo Canada, Keen expanded on comments she made this past weekend about whether she'll return as Laura in the upcoming Avengers movies. 

"I actually have no idea, like, legitimately, I swear to you,...

Much has been said this week about a supposed clash between Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. The rumour can be traced back to comments from Jeff Sneider and John Rocha, though neither of them claimed that it was Downey and Reynolds who went at it.

The social media scuttlebutt has been receiving so much attention online that TMZ has now decided to debunk it. Noting that "the internet subculture devoted to Marvel conjecture cooked up a story that there was a verbal fight" on the Avengers: Doomsday set, the gossip site has explained why there's no way it could've involved the Doctor Doom and Deadpool actors.

Tenoch Huerta is set to reprise his Black Panther: Wakanda Forever role of Namor in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

In a new interview, the actor teased what it was like filming the latest superhero team-up and how he found out he was returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

“We were waiting on the green light [from Marvel] and my agents in the U.S. were not sure about the news [of my return],” Huerta said on TV Azteca’s late-night show La Resolana Con El Capi on Sunday. “They practically told us around 12 at night, and at 5:30 in the morning, the [cast reveal] livestream started, and they told us, ‘Hey, the news is about to drop.’ It was surprising and it was cool.”

Of returning to the MCU, Huerta said that this time around “the dynamic has been different,” adding, “There are twentysomething characters involved in the story, which means we are each going...

Marvel fans are counting the days until Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters, and Benedict Cumberbatch is adding even more mystery to the excitement.

The film, directed by the Russo brothers with a script from Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely, is set to release in the United States on December 18, 2026. It will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

This massive project will bring together some of the biggest teams in Marvel history. The Avengers will join forces with the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the New Avengers, and the Wakandans to take on Doctor Doom. In a twist that already has fans buzzing, Robert Downey Jr. will play the villain.

A long...

Earlier this year, Benedict Cumberbatch dropped a surprising update on his MCU return as Doctor Strange, appearing to confirm that he wouldn't be a part of Avengers: Doomsday, but would be back as the (former) Sorcerer Supreme for Secret Wars.

The Sherlock actor indicated that Strange's involvement in the next big MCU event movie was rendered unnecessary when plans pivoted from Kang to Doctor Doom after Jonathan Majors' firing.

"Is that a spoiler? F*** it!" Cumberbatch told Variety after mentioning that he would not be a part of Doomsday. "The character [was] not aligning with this part of the story."

Cumberbatch has since walked back his comments, however, claiming that the...

After a strong opening weekend, The Fantastic Four: First Steps' box office run fell off a proverbial cliff, with the film now destined to severely underperform despite strong critical and fan reception. Starring the team of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby,Joseph Quinn, andEbon Moss-Bachrach, The Fantastic Four: First Steps seemed destined for glory, especially following its praise-filled debut, but, alas, perhaps we must temper our Doomsday expectations as time edges closer to the next big Avengers event.

However, despite a poor run to fate, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has still managed to pick up several impressive box office milestones through the sheer size of its IP alone. Thanks to...

Though they weren't part of the first cast announcement, both Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell are expected to reprise their respective roles as Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter for Avengers: Doomsday, and Daniel Richtman is reporting that they have begun filming their scenes.

The chances of catching a glimpse of the actors in set photos seem slim, as Doomsday hasn't been shooting outdoors (or only on well-secured closed sets) since those early shots of the X-Mansion and a downed Sentinel found their way online back in May.

Possible spoilers follow.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Worldwide Box Office ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the latest reboot of Marvel’s First Family, has already outgrossed Captain America: Brave New World globally to become the ninth highest-grossing movie of the year. With a worldwide tally of $490.5 million, the next three 2025 films it trails are Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, F1, and Superman. However, given its current momentum and fresh competition from recent releases like Weapons, it looks unlikely that First Steps will outgross these three titles during its theatrical run.

According to a report by Screenrant, The Fantastic Four: First Steps was made on a budget of around $200 million.

Superheroes, dinosaurs and nostalgia took the world of Hollywood by storm this summer, with the likes of Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, Freakier Friday, and I Know What You Did Last Summer all thrilling audiences around the world. Of course, Marvel Studios got in the fun - twice in fact, with the critically-acclaimed Thunderbolts* arriving in May and the larger-than-life The Fantastic Four: First Steps making its presence felt as one of July's big releases.

The film, led by the heroic quartet of Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm / Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm / Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Ben Grimm / The Thing,...

We didn't expect to see Dafne Keen as Laura, aka X-23, again following her acclaimed turn in James Mangold's Logan, but the His Dark Materials star was given the opportunity to reprise the role in Shawn Levy's Deadpool and Wolverine as part of a Void Resistance team alongside Blade (Wesley Snipes), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and the late Johnny Storm (Chris Evans).

Laura appears again in the closing moments of the movie, having reunited with Logan and the Merc With a Mouth, leaving the door open for her eventual return.

We have heard rumors that X-23 will be back for Avengers: Doomsday (along with pretty...

Marvel Studios and filmmaker Matt Shakman have made no secret of the fact that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is heavily inspired by the work of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby.

In an early montage, we see Marvel's First Family wearing classic versions of the suits they donned in Fantastic Four #1 to battle Mole Man, while their current costumes also don't shy away from that retrofuturistic 1960s-inspired vibe.

Ryan Meinerding, Character Designer, Creative Director, and Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development, has now shared a first look at some early suit designs for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. At first glance, they're quite similar, but upon closer inspection, we're...

Ever since whispers of some tension on the set of Avengers: Doomsday began to circulate online, fans have been speculating about which cast members might be involved. A lot of people know the names of the actors in question, but nobody wants to be the first to spill the tea.

John Rocha shared some updates on his YouTube channel last night, and while he declined to mention any names - just to be clear, it was not Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds - he did provide a few more details on what is said to have gone down.

It seems one actor said something that made their co-star very upset.

“Avengers: Doomsday” the next live-action feature from Marvel Studios, is targeting December 18, 2026 for an IMAX theatrical release;

Cast includes Chris Hemsworth - ‘Thor’, Vanessa Kirby - ‘Invisible Woman’, Anthony Mackie - ‘Captain America’, Sebastian Stan - ‘Bucky’, Letitia Wright - ‘Black Panther’, Paul Rudd - ‘Ant-Man’, Wyatt Russell - ‘U.S. Agent’, Tenoch Huerta Mejia - ‘Namor’, Ebon Moss-Bachrach - ‘The Thing’, Simu Liu - ‘Shang-Chi’, Florence Pugh - ‘Yelena Belova’…

…Kelsey Grammer - ‘Beast’, Lewis Pullman - ‘The Sentry’, Danny Ramirez - ‘The Falcon’, Joseph Quinn - ‘Human Torch’, David Harbour - ‘Red Guardian’, Winston Duke - ‘M'Baku’, Hannah John-Kamen - ‘Ghost’, Tom Hiddleston - ‘Loki’…

…Patrick Stewart...

Marvel Studios seemingly went to great lengths to ensure The Fantastic Four: First Steps would clock in at less than 2 hours. However, as with many MCU movies, several scenes were shot that didn't make it into the final cut.

A few of these will likely be included with the eventual Blu-ray release, while others are likely unfinished and will remain forever locked away in Marvel Studios' Burbank-based headquarters.

Reliable leaker @Cryptic4KQual has shared a breakdown of many moments from The Fantastic Four: First Steps that we didn't get to see in theaters (it appears this intel was gleaned from test screenings). For starters, they confirm that the reboot originally...

Things were looking bleak for The Fantastic Four: First Steps a few weeks ago. Despite positive reviews and a strong start at the U.S. box office, ticket sales dropped significantly during its second and third weekends in theaters, suggesting it could finish its run in the same $400 million ballpark as Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.

The Marvel Studios movie has since regained its footing in a not dissimilar manner to Elemental and Mufasa: The Lion King. Now, it's worth noting that The Fantastic Four: First Steps won't quite reach the same heights as the two Disney blockbusters initially deemed "flops," but it's no longer in danger of ending up with under $500 million.

It was a busy week for new releases and rising favorites, with a mix of sequels, reboots, and original stories pulling huge attention. From superhero relaunches to late‑summer horror breakouts, the list spans streaming premieres and theatrical runs across every genre.

Below you’ll find each title with concrete details about who made it, who stars in it, and what the story covers. We follow the countdown from 15 to 1 to match this week’s movement, and every entry includes plot points and verified production info.

Despite talk that The Fantastic Four: First Steps hasn’t become the massive blockbuster many fans expected, it has still outperformed the MCU’s earlier 2025 releases — Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World. With a global haul of over $475 million, the film is now expected to cross the $500 million mark, its break-even point against a reported $200 million budget. It remains to be seen how much profit it can generate beyond that figure.

Recently, the Fantastic Four reboot has outgrossed several popular films, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), It: Chapter Two (2019), Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), The Matrix (1999), Gladiator (2000), and...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has suddenly found its footing at the North American box office, and that could bode well for the Marvel Studios movie in the coming weeks.

It's no secret that a few big scenes were left on the cutting room floor to get the reboot under two hours. Now, some newly revealed storyboards—courtesy of artist Simeon Wilkins—reveal a first look at a scrapped sequence featuring Sue Storm and Mole Man in Subterranea.

Both Vanessa Kirby and Paul Walter Hauser have shared their disappointment that the scene was cut, and we see here what it could have looked like.

Artist Richard Bennett has also shared...

"Gladiator" is a Ridley Scott classic that blew the box office away when it released in the summer of 2000. Scott recently returned to the Roman saga with a sequel, "Gladiator II," that stars Paul Mescal and a scene-stealing Denzel Washington. While the "Gladiator" franchise is a fixture of cinema, though, one common question is whether it's based on a historical true story, or whether it's mere fiction. In the case of Russell Crowe's titular Gladiator," in particular, is Maximus' harrowing tale a bona fide reality, or is it made up of whole cloth?

The short answer is that it's mostly the latter. "Gladiator" is not based on a true story,...

Doja Cat is opening up about her upcoming album!

The 29-year-old “Agora Hills” rapper and singer spoke to Zane Lowe on Friday (August 22) about her new album.

Doja previously opened up about her next album being more pop-focused and focused on love and romance. In the new interview with Zane, she’s sharing more about what inspired her new album – including the bad behavior of some of her exes!

Keep reading to find out more…

“I’m working with Jack Antonoff and working with a person that’s new in my life,” Doja said, referring to the producer who has become known for his collaborations with Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.

Despite the perception that The Fantastic Four: First Steps underperformed at the box office, the movie has proved to have stronger legs domestically than many expected.

According to the latest updates, the new big-screen outing for Marvel's First Family took in $1.6 million on Friday - a -35.9% drop from last week - and now looks set to finish its domestic run at around $275 million (it should pass $500M worldwide).

Though it's difficult to imagine Marvel Studios being overjoyed with the reboot's takings, it was a bigger hit than 2025's other MCU releases, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.

As for Superman, James Gunn's Dcu reboot has now officially passed $600 million globally.
