Kevin Feige knows Fantastic Four disappointed at the box office, even though it "looked and sounded like nothing that had been done in a superhero movie before"

Kevin Feige has acknowledged that last summer's Fantastic Four: First Steps underperformed.

The film was released in July 2025 and grossed $521.9 million worldwide, despite being billed as a major Marvel blockbuster and including a post-credits scene that directly set up Avengers: Doomsday.
