Even the MCU got in on the act. Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) is built entirely on a blended premise. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is an ex-con biological dad trying to impress his daughter, Cassie, while also co-parenting with his ex-wife and her new husband, Paxton (Bobby Cannavale). In most movies, Paxton would be the boring cop antagonist. But in the Ant-Man films, Paxton is a decent, funny, protective stepfather who eventually saves the hero’s life. When Scott says, "You’re a good dad," there is no irony. The film argues that a child can never have too many invested adults.

The keyword is "dynamics"—plural, fluid, never static. Today’s films understand that a blended family isn’t a problem to be solved by the third act. It is an ecosystem, constantly evolving, occasionally stormy, but capable of producing the deepest roots because those roots are chosen, not inherited.
