Marvel’s “Fantastic Four: First Steps” Takes Flight on Disney+ After Theatrical Run
LOS ANGELES – The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s newest iteration of the Fantastic Four, dubbed “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” is now available to stream on Disney+ as of 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT on Wednesday, November 5th. The film stars Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman (Sue Storm), Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, the Thing.
The film sees Marvel’s First Family facing an existential threat in the form of Galactus (Ralph Ineson), the planet-devouring cosmic entity. According to the official synopsis, Galactus threatens to consume Earth unless Reed and Sue surrender their newborn son. As the team journeys across the cosmos, they discover the importance of family bonds.
“Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which hit theaters on July 25th, has already garnered positive reviews. USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt awarded the film three out of four stars, praising its retro-futuristic 1960s aesthetic and top-notch cast. Truitt also noted the film’s accessibility, stating it requires no prior MCU knowledge and prioritizes a compelling narrative. “It’s the most welcoming Marvel movie in ages, with no previous history or homework required.”
For those who prefer physical media, “Fantastic Four: First Steps” is also available on Blu-ray and DVD. These editions include bonus content like deleted scenes, featurettes on the characters and world-building, a gag reel, and commentary from director Matt Shakman and production designer Kasra Farahani. One exclusive deleted scene reportedly features Sue Storm meeting with Harvey Elder, the Mole Man (played by Paul Walter Hauser), to negotiate peace between the surface world and his underground community of Subterranea.
