MK can get Marvel characters, just not all of them. For example they can get Fantastic Four I believe.

I know they can get some characters. I don’t think they can get the fantastic four as universal operates doctor dooms fearfall and a restaurant themed to the fantastic four and the contract states that they can’t use any characters universal is using.
No. The FF appear in IoA.

I guess you're right, I forgot about Dr Doom, never having been there its easy to forget which characters are and are not allowed since I don't look at the old MCA contract everyday.

IIRC the IPs they can't use are:
X-Men (Storm attraction)
Avengers (Hulk attraction)
Fantastic 4 (Doom attraction)
Spider-Verse (Spider-Man attraction)

Its based on the "families" of the characters defined in the contract, not just the rides themselves. Uni has to maintain the rides in order to keep the exclusivity but its not the ride themselves that define what characters can or cannot be used in WDW.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Lighter At $118M, But Still Super In Opening – Box Office Update
'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is looking at a $125 million at the U.S box office on its opening weekend.

Looks to be pulling a bit ahead of projections now. Let’s see if we get an A- or A CinemaScore.
I don’t think the MCU is in a bad position heading into Avengers. Even though Thunderbolts was super soft, there may be willingness to watch it for homework post theatrically.
It’s too bad…. Because either the current aesthetic F4 would be a perfect fit for Tomorrowland

Yes, that is why the hope is that if F4 does well it'll lead to a DL TL redo using those aesthetics. I guess they could do an MK TL too, but just not reference the F4 directly and use the aesthetics only.

I really want an Excelsior themed Astro orbiter.

Finally a great FF film and it has some Interstellar beats.

The second act of this film is one of my favorites of the whole MCU. In part because of the Interstellar beats.

Fantastic Four was as good as new Superman. Both a little silly for me but I like the characters. My husband liked it. Jurassic still best of the three. Big guy in Fantastic felt a little like time bandits .

Updated estimate for FF is $118 million domestic opening, still higher than the $100-$110 million going into the weekend

Anytime they come in over the prediction is a small win for Hollywood these days.
