I’m bouncing off the walls with anticipation, waiting for The Fantastic Four: First Steps to hit the 2025 movie schedule. One of the biggest superhero movies of the year, the debut of “Marvel’s First Family” in the MCU is a long time coming, and I can’t wait to see what director Matt Shakman is going to do with the comic book adaptation. I am also eager to see how the movie connects to the MCU in general, especially as we start gearing up for the Russos’ Avengers: Doomsday.
Speaking of connections… During one of my recent fits of insomnia, I discovered a strange factoid that connects The Fantastic Four: First Steps with Saved by the Bell, at least an early version of the popular high school-centric sitcom many of us grew up watching. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since, and I have to talk it out.
