The Walt Disney Company has a huge problem on their hands. Bluey is now, hands-down, more popular than Star Wars and Marvel combined... and Disney doesn't own Bluey. They license the cartoon dogs from the BBC! For years, the conventional wisdom around Disney+ has been...
Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps has hit a rough patch with its first Monday box office numbers, released unusually late on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. The film earned $10.4 million domestically, a figure that raises concerns for Marvel, especially when compared to recent superhero films and the studio’s expectations for a strong rebound.
Actor Simu Liu appears to have inserted himself into the growing backlash against Pedro Pascal, notably his overly affectionate behavior with co-star Vanessa Kirby during the Fantastic Four: First Steps press tour.
The film, marking the Fantastic Four’s official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, grossed $118 million domestically over its three-day opening weekend. This figure, while impressive and a massive improvement over the disastrous $25 million debut of 2015’s Fantastic Four, fell short of Superman’s domestic opening of $125 million just two weeks earlier on July 11, 2025.
The access media may be painting a rosy pictures of Disney/Marvel’s new Fantastic Four movie, but the Saturday box office slide could be concerning for the House of Mouse.

Are you upset that Marvel gave Reed Richards facial hair in The Fantastic Four: First Steps? Blame Pedro Pascal.
In the ever-evolving world of superhero cinema, where comic book accuracy often clashes with Hollywood flair, Pedro Pascal’s portrayal of Reed Richards—aka Mr. Fantastic—in Marvel’s upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps has sparked debate for many reasons. But one particular detail stands out: the mustache.
Loki creator Michael Waldron has been brought on to assist with the script for Avengers: Doomsday. Yes, that means the script for the next massive Marvel team up film isn’t done yet, even as principal photography has been underway since April 2025.
There’s a whole lot of talk these days about something called “Superhero Movie Fatigue” and whether it, the sheer overabundance of spandex-clad folks on our screens, is responsible for falling boxoffice numbers and NOT the lack of quality storytelling in those films themselves.
My verdict? Could be. But meanwhile there IS most DEFINITELY a kind of fatigue linked to these productions that we’re all suffering from and it’s squarely the responsibility of the very “creative” minds leading this genre’s recent cinematic incarnations.
Superhero Movie RUMOR Fatigue.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) gears up for Avengers: Doomsday in 2026, a fresh wave of controversy has erupted over the decision to abandon Kang the Conqueror in favor of Doctor Doom.
