The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) – Matt Shakman

Marvel brings their first family into the MCU with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It’s charming, and has some solid casting, but it never really has the impact that this iconic team deserves. And that may be due to superhero fatigue. Marvel and Disney have upped the audience of dosage of superheroes that everything feels…

Star Trek: The Voodoo Planet (1970)
