While a significant part of the Marvel Comics legacy, the Fantastic Four doesn't have a particularly great big screen history. The first theatrically released blockbuster featuring the team (not counting the notorious and 1994 movie) performed modestly at the box office in 2005 – earning over $300 million against an $87.

First Steps," based on the 1961 comic book, stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
