Fantastic Four: First Steps Sets 2025 Record With First-Day Ticket Sales

Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps has become the best first-day ticket pre-seller of 2025 on Fandango, breaking records ahead of its July 25 theatrical debut. Featuring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic alongside Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the film introduces Marvel's First Family set in a 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world, where they confront the space god Galactus and his Herald, Silver Surfer. The movie emphasizes family bonds amidst superhero action, marking the debut of characters like Franklin Richards and Shalla-Bal, and is poised to be the longest MCU film since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Fans widely anticipate Pascal's performance, with surveys naming it the second most anticipated new role of 2025. The film's success carries significant weight for Marvel this year, following mixed results from other releases, and will lead into the Avengers: Doomsday film next summer. Multiple new trailers, posters, and fan event screenings with giveaways have been released to build excitement ahead of the premiere.
