Fantastic Four: First Steps is helping Marvel to "get its mojo back", according to early reviews of the new superhero reboot. The 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is "Marvel's best film in a decade", the Telegraph said, while the Guardian commented the studio had "regained its buoyancy".

One of the biggest movies to kick off Marvel’s Phase Six is the MCU’s newest movie, Fantastic Four: First Steps. Based on the FF trailer, the 2025 movie release not only stands apart due to its stellar casting,

First Steps will feature two credits scenes, and one has major implications on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That judgement is based on the reviews alone. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has already achieved a rare feat: its debut Rotten Tomatoes rating stands at a solid 86%, making it the first “Fantastic Four” movie ever to earn a “fresh” status. That score even nudges out the new “ Superman ” reboot, which currently sits at 83% on the Tomatometer.

Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby and more of the "Fantastic Four" cast dazzled at the movie's premiere and shared what they are most excited for fans to see in the latest MCU installment.

The Marvel film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Julia Garner and hits theaters July 25.

If the early reactions on social media are to be believed, Marvel fans are in for the best Marvel movie in years. The reactions are extremely one-sided, with critics praising the cast, the story, the score, and the production value.

To celebrate the impending arrival of 'First Steps' in theaters, both 'Marvel Rivals' and 'Fortnite' will get movie-themed skins for the Fantastic Four this Friday.

Critics seem to at least agree that Fantastic Four is a visual feast and way better than the first three movies Fox made. As someone burnt out on the MCU since Thor: Love and Thunder, I’ll take clearing the low bar over getting walloped in the face by one higher up. Here’s what other reviewers are saying:
