Two years ago, at Star Wars Celebration 2023, Lucasfilm pulled out all the stops to surprise fans with the return of Daisy Ridley. The announcement was meant to be monumental: a brand-new Star Wars movie starring Rey, set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker on the stage at Star Wars Celebration.

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.
