The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surpassed Superman in fan reviews, with the new film being hailed as a masterpiece. Marvel's fresh take on the beloved comic book characters marks their first appearance on screen since Disney regained the rights. Despite being part of the MCU, it is being promoted as the studio's inaugural standalone film.

It has now been overtaken on the stateside leader board by Gunn's Superman. Starring David Corenswet in the lead role, the well-received film has generated over $400 million worldwide so far. It's sitting at an 83% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes,

First Steps is off to a strong start at the North American box office, with an estimated $23 million Thursday that means the latest Marvel Studios movie is pacing ahead of Superman.

During a recent podcast episode, the "Sherlock" star spoke candidly about bulking up to get into his superhero physique, highlighting the five meals a day he ate along with high-protein snacks in between.

James Gunn’s pointedly bright, colorful, canine-forward new movie, “Superman,” is the second launch in a dozen years of a new shared cinematic universe wherein the superhero in chief is gradually — or in this case, immediately — surrounded by other DC Comics heroes.

Spider-Man 2, Iron Man, and Blade II are among the best Marvel superhero movies that iconic critic Roger Ebert really loved.

Some superhero movies go for real-world relevance. The Fantastic Four: First Steps succeeds by doubling down on whimsical, wide-eyed wonder.

According to the same report that revealed DC’s attempt to steal Kevin Feige from Marvel, the brass at Warner Bros. have set Superman’s worldwide financial goal post at a cool $500 million. That doesn’t look impossible, when looking at the $416.2 million haul, reported at the time of writing by Box Office Mojo.
