When Is ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Streaming on Disney+?

by

I just saw The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and wow, it really delivered! It’s already made over half a billion dollars globally, which isn’t surprising. With a fantastic cast – Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach – they’ve brought a fresh take to this iconic team, seamlessly integrating them into the MCU. What I really appreciated is that even with that connection, the film still feels unique and stands on its own, which I think is a big reason why audiences have embraced it. It definitely feels like a smart setup for bigger things to come, especially Avengers: Doomsday.

I’m so excited that the movie is finally coming to Disney+! It’s been available to rent for a month now, and November 5th can’t come soon enough. Gizmodo reported the news on Friday, and it’s great to see it’ll be on streaming so quickly – it’s the fastest turnaround for a Marvel movie this year! Plus, when it hits Disney+, we’ll get an IMAX enhanced version of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is awesome.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Streaming Dates, Explained


Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Disney+’s new animated film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will start streaming on November 5th. This release is well-timed for families enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday and will also help Disney+ attract new subscribers with Black Friday offers. Both Disney+ subscribers with or without ads (plans start at $11.99/month) and premium subscribers ($18.99/month) will have access. Viewers who also subscribe to Hulu can watch the film there, and bundling both services is available for only $1 extra per month.

While Disney+ will stream the movie, you’ll have other options too, especially if you don’t want a subscription. You can buy the digital version from places like Apple TV, Fandango, and Prime Video for around $20, and the price is expected to drop soon. Digital rentals will likely become available around the same time as the Disney+ release. For those who prefer physical copies, Blu-ray versions are available for $22.99 (standard), $26.99 (4K), and $43.99 (steelbook). A DVD is also available for $18.99.

ScreenRant reports that it took 117 days for Thunderbolts and 103 days for Captain America: Brave New World to arrive on Disney+ after their cinema releases. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is also available on Disney+ after 103 days, making it one of the quickest Marvel movies to move from theaters to streaming this year. This is surprising, as The Fantastic Four: First Steps was expected to be Marvel’s biggest film of the year and the last MCU release before Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Release Will Be IMAX Enhanced

Gizmodo says Disney+ will offer an IMAX enhanced version of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While it won’t be exactly like seeing it in an IMAX cinema, it’s designed to give a similar feel. This makes the film one of a few titles on the service with this feature, and it’s the most recent addition since Captain America: Brave New World. The IMAX version will show 26% more of the original image, matching how it appeared in IMAX theaters. All Disney+ subscribers can access this, so there’s no need for a more expensive plan. Viewers with compatible sound systems will also be able to enjoy IMAX enhanced sound.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Is a Movie That’s Worth the Wait

Both critics and audiences love it, giving it a ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes with approval scores of 86% and 91% respectively. Notably, this is the first Fantastic Four film to ever receive a positive rating on the site! The movie is visually striking and features characters that are easy to root for, making it a genuinely enjoyable experience.

When “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” becomes available on Disney+, it’s a must-watch even for casual Marvel Cinematic Universe fans.
