No, silly, superhero movies aren’t dead. The second comic-book movie in the last two weeks, Disney/ Marvel Studios ‘ The Fantastic Four: First Steps is conquering around $23M in previews tonight that began at 2PM. Domestic outlook was $100M-$110M, but the Matt Shakman directed movie is bound to shoot higher.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four are taking big first steps at the box office, earning a mighty $24.4 million in previews. The haul is the best preview result of the year so far, beating the previous high of $22.

First Steps kicked off overseas rollout Wednesday, and through Thursday is in 44 material offshore markets. The international box office cume through Thursday is an estimated $27 million. That includes No.

Joseph Quinn says the 'Fantastic Four' cast has received "sage advice" from MCU veterans, and calls Robert Downey Jr. "a remarkable actor" ahead of working with him in 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

Even more important is the question of why The Fantastic Four: First Steps showed us that vacant chair. Was it merely to tease Doom’s appearance at the end of the movie? To remind us he’s coming in Avengers: Doomsday?
