The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have begun in 2008 with Iron Man, a billionaire playboy genius and philanthropist who fights injustice. But over the course of 17 years and 37 movies, the MCU has not only brought scads of comic book heroes and villains to theaters,

Comic fans are embracing the latest showdown between Marvel and DC as their superhero films "Fantastic Four" and "Superman" compete for box office dominance, reigniting a rivalry spanning over eight decades.

We're 37 films deep into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How does "Fantastic Four: First Steps" rank against "Ant-Man" or "Avengers: Endgame"?

While cinema-goers have responded enthusiastically to many films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the history of the Fantastic Four is less heralded.

Maybe “superhero fatigue” is a thing of the past – with DC’s “Superman” still soaring in theaters, Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” reboot is set to join the fun this weekend, with positive momentum.

So far, Thanos has been Marvel's biggest force to reckon with in the MCU, but these characters would have proven he could be beat.

Superhero fatigue isn’t inevitable, if a filmmaker is willing to show relatable characters fighting personal battles.
