Though <em>Thunderbolts* </em>seemed to showcase the Marvel Cinematic Universe was getting back on track creatively, the same couldn't be said for its box office, which is looking to lose the studio some money. The franchise's next release is <em>The Fantastic Four: First Steps</em>, which is now all the more important in the hopes of turning around the box office woes of <em>Thunderbolts* </em>and <em>Captain America: Brave New World</em>, and I'm honestly not sure it'll succeed.<br><br>July is already a stacked month of new releases with <em>Jurassic World Rebirth, I Know What You Did Last Summer </em>and fellow superhero reboot <em>Superman</em>. Given James Gunn's DC Universe starter is also being released so close to <em>Fantastic Four</em>, I get the feeling even the allure of Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic might not be enough.
