With a worldwide gross of nearly $470 million, Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps continues to hold its ground at the global box office. The superhero film currently ranks among the top ten highest-grossing movies of 2025. However, it’s unlikely to surpass other big-ticket titles like James Gunn’s Superman or Brad Pitt’s F1.
Despite not being a runaway blockbuster, the latest Fantastic Four reboot has still outperformed several other 2025 releases, including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Sinners. And now, First Steps is just inches away from outgrossing a hit monster movie at the worldwide box office. Read on to find out which one.
