Marvel endeavors to bring back the Fantastic Four, its most well-known team of superheroes, to the silver screen. Honestly, it is long overdue for the First Family to return home.

The team has been featured in Marvel Comics since its inception, but the studio’s 2025 release Fantastic Four: First Steps marks the return of the famed superheroes for the first time in over two decades.
