The film, which received a notable media push tied to Tran’s controversial return to the spotlight, now faces an uphill battle to recoup its production and marketing costs.

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.
