This week on The ESE Files, we're breaking down why the superhero genre might finally be losing its grip on audiences. With James Gunn’s Superman pulling in a surprisingly modest $68M on opening weekend and Fantastic Four tracking for similar numbers, the cracks are starting to show.

We dig into:

Why Fantastic Four might already be in trouble before release

Marvel’s next big move: teasing the return of Robert Downey Jr. and the long-awaited live-action debut of Miles Morales
