Summary
- Phase Six of the MCU begins with The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
- Phase Five experienced erratic box office performance and losses.
- Half of Phase Five films grossed under $420 million globally.

Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially commenced with the highly anticipated release of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." This new chapter follows a turbulent Phase Five, which concluded with "Thunderbolts*." The previous six-film stretch was marked by inconsistent box office performance, a stark contrast to earlier MCU phases.
Many Phase Five titles struggled financially, with several failing to surpass $420 million globally and incurring significant losses for Marvel Studios and parent company Disney. This erratic financial track record has cast a shadow over the franchise's recent output. The launch of Phase Six with "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" carries the weight of expectation for renewed artistic and financial stability.
