The Fantastic Four First Steps First Reviews: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby's ‘Best' Marvel Attempt Earns Rave Reactions
What do people think of The Fantastic Four: First Steps so far?
George McKay, an X user, wrote, 'Quite possibly the best Marvel Studios film ever released. Absolutely loaded with talent and standout performances from Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn. If you thought the MCU died with Endgame, think again. Thoughtfully crafted and easily a genre-defining classic'. Others called it a film that Marvel 'needed' and praised the perfect casting of the movie.
Matt Shakman's work from WandaVision has been brought up and earned him cheers once again. The critiquing has been on-point so far with Matt Neglia saying, 'The story's focus on the theme of family can feel a bit overdone at this point in the MCU, and the villains aren't the most compelling, but the cast does a lot of the heavy-lifting to make you deeply care about these characters, their relationships & the end-of-the-world stakes they face.'
The story is already being touted to be a hit at the box office, with many pouring in praise for the main cast members, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. Meanwhile, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson have also earned their flowers from the audience. We expect an increasingly positive and forthcoming response from the moviegoers in the coming weekend. Adding to the goof run for MCU, the studio seems to be setting up the game right well ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday release in the coming year as the familiar cast members continue filming in secret.

Chris Evans and wife Alba Baptista expecting their first child together? Actress' dad's comment sparks pregnancy rumours
Hollywood star Chris Evans and his wife, Portuguese actor Alba Baptista , might just be gearing up to welcome the newest member of their family. The actor, best known for his role as the Marvel hero 'Captain America', is reportedly expecting his first child with wife, Alba. The buzz about the actress' pregnancy spread like wildfire after a cryptic social media comment went viral. The pregnancy rumours began circulating after a fan club posted a Father's Day tribute and tagged Baptista's father, Luiz Baptista, and Evans' father, Bob Evans. It was on this post that Luiz commented a rather sweet message that caught fans' attention. Replying to the post, Luiz seemingly made a casual remark, 'Your turn is coming,' which many interpreted as a subtle hint that the couple may be just be gearing up to welcome their first child together. — mentallynotici (@mentallynotici) A screenshot of the reply soon went viral on social media handles, with fans of the Marvel actor and the 'Warrior Nun' star sharing their excitement. Some even claimed that close family members had begun dropping clues online, though no such posts have been verified. If the rumours are true, then it won't come as a surprise to Evans' fans. The hunk has made no secret about his desire to start a family. Calling fatherhood 'something I absolutely look forward to,' the actor shared his desire to be a dad and give his kid the kind of upbringing he had. Chris and Alba tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Portugal in 2023 and have kept much of their relationship out of the spotlight. Choosing to lead a relatively private life, they made their first red carpet appearance at an Oscar party in 2024.

'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' box office collection Day 1: Marvel superhero film scores Rs 5 crore opening amidst 'Saiyaara' sweep
Marvel Studios' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', arrived in Indian theatres amid the ongoing 'Saiyaara' frenzy and secured a modest start to its box office run. The film that is the third reboot of the superhero franchise, scored an impressive Rs 5.10 crore India net on its opening day, according to early estimates on Sacnilk. The film, with its all-new cast, introduces Pedro Pascal as Mr Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Tourch and Ebon Moss‑Bachrach as the Thing. The film managed to score a 55.5% occupancy on Friday for its English‑language shows, with evening and night shows drawing in the crowds. It has been reported that the movie saw between 59% and 73.60% footfalls for its Friday night shows, with metro centres like Bengaluru, Chennai, NCR, Mumbai and Ahmedabad bringing in the numbers. With this Rs 5 crore earning, the film now stands behind the first-day net earning of other Hollywood releases like 'Superman' which earned Rs 6.75 crore and even 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' which earned Rs 8.25 crore. While this is a low start for a Marvel film in India, the debut isn't unexpected, given Marvel's current market dip and strong competition from 'Saiyaara'. The film managed to get a hold over the box office despite facing stiff competition from the Bollywood romantic film 'Saiyaara'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Mohit Suri directorial, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles, is dominating the box Indian office with its Rs 200 crore sweep.
