Overview

  • The film opened to a $118 million domestic debut but suffered a 66% drop in its second weekend and a 60% decline in its third.
  • Worldwide receipts have climbed above $400 million—reaching roughly $434 million—making it the highest-grossing Fantastic Four title and the top MCU release of 2025.
  • With a reported $200 million production cost and marketing expenses pushing the break-even threshold near $500 million, analysts now see theatrical profitability as marginal.
  • Pedro Pascal has wrapped filming his scenes for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and remains committed to other Disney and Lucasfilm projects, including a Mandalorian feature in 2026.
  • Marvel Studios has signaled plans for an MCU reset and confirmed the X-Men will succeed Phase Six’s culmination in Avengers: Secret Wars.
