The Fantastic Four: First Steps ' Disney+ release establishes a perfect streak for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2025. The franchise only had one movie release last year, Deadpool & Wolverine . That changed in a major way for this year, with three MCU movies in 2025 : Captain America: Brave New World , Thunderbolts* , and The Fantastic Four: First Steps . The latter was the highest-grossing.
The MCU Fantastic Four movie ended its box office run with $520.6 million worldwide. While that total might have come in under what was expected based on The Fantastic Four: First Steps ' star-studded cast and the arrival of the team in the MCU, the numbers are still strong, becoming the best in the Fantastic Four franchise . That level of success has translated to streaming.
