What the Movie Is About
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set in a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world and follows the superhero team as they already have their powers and are working together. The story avoids retelling the origin story and instead shows the team facing a major cosmic threat.
The team must defend Earth from Galactus, a powerful space god who wants to consume the planet, and his messenger, the Silver Surfer. The film focuses on the group’s challenge of being both superheroes and a family. The cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
The movie has been a success, earning over $500 million at the global box office and receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
Physical Release and Bonus Features
For collectors and fans who prefer physical media, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be available to own on October 14, 2025. It will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
Several retailers will have exclusive versions. Amazon is offering a limited-edition SteelBook bundle that includes collector cards and a comic book. Walmart will have an exclusive Blu-ray package with a pop-up slipcover that features the Fantasticar.
Buying the physical or digital copy comes with hours of extra content that takes you behind the scenes. The bonus features include:
- Audio commentary by director Matt Shakman and production designer Kasra Farahani.
- Deleted scenes such as “Thanksgiving Soup Kitchen,” “Fantastic Four Day,” and “Subterranea.”
- A gag reel of outtakes from the set.
- Featurettes that explore the creation of the First Family, the film’s retro-futuristic design, and bringing characters like Galactus and Mole Man to the screen.
When to Expect the Movie on Disney+
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is not yet available on the Disney+ subscription service. Disney has not announced an official release date. However, based on the recent pattern of other Marvel movies, it is possible the film will arrive on Disney+ around mid-November 2025.
For example, recent MCU films like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts appeared on Disney+ about three to four months after their theatrical premieres. If The Fantastic Four follows a similar schedule, subscribers can likely expect to watch it included with their membership before the end of the year.
How the New Film Fits In
This film is the third major attempt to bring the Fantastic Four to the big screen, following movies released in 2005 and 2007, and another in 2015. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the first time these characters have been introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The movie officially begins Phase 6 of the MCU, making it important viewing before the next Avengers film.
The previous Fantastic Four movies are available to stream on Disney+.
