Marvel Studios once stood for excitement, consistency, and crowd-pleasing spectacle. But based on the latest wave of quotes and footage from Fantastic Four: First Steps, it’s clear the studio is still prioritizing abstract metaphors and identity-driven rewrites over the qualities that made the brand a global juggernaut. The latest example? Pedro Pascal describing his take on Reed Richards — aka Mister Fantastic — as inspired by… an octopus.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is rolling the dice again with Fantastic Four: First Steps, the 37th entry in the franchise, and it might be its most ideologically loaded to date.

The legal battle between Gina Carano and Disney has just entered a new—and potentially game-changing—phase.

James Cameron returned to the spotlight this week—albeit via video from New Zealand—with the unveiling of the first footage from Avatar: Fire and Ash at CinemaCon. Billed as a major December release, the third film in the franchise is already drawing praise from exhibitors impressed by the visuals and scale.
