Julia Garner has showcased her range with acclaimed performances in Ozark and Inventing Anna. This year marks a milestone in her career as she headlined three major theatrical releases — Wolf Man, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the horror thriller Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger.
Among the three, Marvel’s Fantastic Four stands tall with massive box office numbers, while Weapons has already crossed the $100 million mark worldwide and continues to grow. The big question now is whether Garner’s chilling horror flick can eventually surpass the superhero blockbuster’s remarkable success.

Here’s the current box office tally of Weapons via Box Office Mojo:
The Fantastic Four: First Steps – Box Office Summary

Can Weapons Surpass The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Collection?
Julia Garner takes on the role of Shalla-Bal, the Silver Surfer, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film brings Marvel’s first family to the big screen and has already raked in more than $468 million worldwide in under a month.
Don’t miss the Silver Surfer on the silver screen.
Julia Garner’s horror thriller Weapons, which hit theaters on August 8, 2025, has pulled in $148 million globally. In the film, she plays Justine, a central figure in the mystery of missing children that has captivated audiences and critics alike. With its strong momentum, the movie is on track to comfortably cross the $200 million mark. However, surpassing The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ impressive $468 million haul looks highly unlikely, making the Marvel blockbuster Garner’s biggest box office success of the year.
