Pedro Pascal's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" is the No. 1 movie in North America again, earning an additional $40 million in receipts in its second weekend. Even the Fantastic Four can't keep regular moviegoers interested in new Marvel projects.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the latest entry in the 2025 movie schedule to dominate the box office, and for many, including me, it’s a great soft reset of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of the things I most liked about it was that it wasn’t heavy on the MCU-cameos like so many others have been.

Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts also saw so-so box office returns, with the former earning $415 million globally and the latter taking home $386 million. The lowest-grossing Marvel movie of all time is The Marvels, which just broke even at $206 million globally, with 2012's The Incredible Hulk coming in second at $265 million.
