Part 4/7:

As Marvel continues to face scrutiny and fatigue from audiences, the *Fantastic Four* film may represent a crucial moment for the franchise. The film is being viewed as potentially the first major entry that authentically captures the essence of Marvel comics in a long time. With previous iterations of *Fantastic Four* flopping both critically and commercially, there is cautious hope that this film will break the trend.

Tracking for other Disney films, such as the live-action *Lilo and Stitch*, suggests that there remains a significant appetite for well-crafted adaptations that resonate with fans. With so many Marvel movies focusing on lesser-known characters lately, there is a sense of renewed investment in established franchises like *Fantastic Four*.
