The box office expectations in this thread are actually realistic. Especially with the BLAH creative team behind. This is an IP that needed a A List director, none of this “you directed a good Disney + show so here’s a big movie for you.”
F4 to me are like The Justice Society, doesn’t matter how iconic they are there just perceived as uncool by the GP, and 3 flop movies being their first appearance doesn’t help. It would take a master to find that perfect balance of updating and making them relevant while at the same time keeping their essence.
also the fact that they’re arriving in this mess of a multiverse storyline dampers it even more. This would be a different vibe if they along the Rebooted X men were leading a post Endgame era. Like why are getting fresh F4 while still holding on to Fox Men?
