Title: Marvel's Fantastic Four and Deadpool & Wolverine Dominate Summer Box Office

Lead: The summer of 2024 has been a record-breaking one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with two major releases, Fantastic Four and Deadpool & Wolverine, taking the box office by storm.

Paragraph 1: Marvel's Fantastic Four, directed by Matt Shakman and featuring an ensemble cast including Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, made its debut at Comic-Con 2024 with a first look at Galactus' comic-accurate appearance. The film is currently in production in London and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Paragraph 1 (continued): Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool for the third time and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine for what might be his last outing in the role, opened to a staggering $96 million in domestic sales over its opening weekend. The film is on track to exceed $200 million domestically and holds 43% of the showtime market share across the US.

Paragraph 2: Fantastic Four fans were thrilled with the first look at Galactus, who will be portrayed by Ralph Ineson. The film's unique take on Marvel's First Family is expected to bring a fresh perspective to their story and introduce new elements that have not been seen before.

Paragraph 2 (continued): Deadpool & Wolverine, on the other hand, delivered an action-packed adventure filled with humor and excitement. The film's post-credits scenes added an extra layer of intrigue for fans, leaving them eagerly anticipating what might come next.

Paragraph 3: Despite some mixed reviews from critics (with a MetaCritic score of 56 based on 50 reviews and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 81% fresh based on 208 reviews), both Fantastic Four and Deadpool & Wolverine have been well-received by audiences. The films' success is a testament to the enduring appeal of Marvel characters and the MCU's ability to bring them to life in new and exciting ways.

Paragraph 3 (continued): It is important to note that while both films have their strengths, they also come with biases. The Fantastic Four reboot may face skepticism due to previous adaptations, while Deadpool & Wolverine's success could be attributed to the popularity of its stars and the Marvel brand.

Conclusion: With Marvel's Fantastic Four and Deadpool & Wolverine dominating the summer box office, it is clear that fans are eager for more from their favorite superhero universe. The future looks bright for both new and established characters as they continue to captivate audiences with their unique stories and compelling performances.

    The author uses sensationalism by implying that the film 'Deadpool and Wolverine' has received mixed reviews when in reality, the majority of critics have given it positive or neutral reviews. The author also engages in selective reporting by only mentioning the lower MetaCritic score and not disclosing that it is based on a more nuanced rating system.
    • As of this writing ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ has a MetaCritic score of 56 based on 50 reviews counted: 26 of those reviews are classified as positive, 19 are somewhat mixed and five are outright negative. That’s lower than the 65 score for 2016’s ‘Deadpool’ and the 66 score for 2018’s ‘Deadpool 2.’
    • Two of the most popular characters in the Marvel canon come together in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine,’ which opened on July 26. It marks the third cinematic outing for Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and the umpteenth for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (he originated the role way back in 2000’s ‘X-Men’). Are they just as good together as they are apart? Perhaps even better? … Perhaps worse? Film critics have weighed in.

    The article contains editorializing and pontification by the authors when they state 'we don't know for sure if this film is meant to be a period piece, if it’s set in an alternate, 1960s style movie, or involve time travel in some way. We do know that the vibe is fantastic.' This statement implies their personal opinion and speculation about the film. The authors also use emotional manipulation by stating 'for those of you (us) who have been starving for what feels like centuries for Marvel’s First Family to enter the MCU, know it’s only been 5 years. But still, finally!' This statement attempts to elicit an emotional response from the reader. The article also contains selective reporting as it focuses on the new Fantastic Four footage and title reveal while omitting any mention of other news or announcements made during the panel.
