Disney+ Fantastic Four Release Timeline: A Guide to the First Steps
Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps made a splash in theaters on July 25, 2025, raking in a whopping $500 million worldwide and introducing the newest MCU team before Avengers: Doomsday. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the film won hearts with its exciting and distinctive approach.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting the movie’s digital release on platforms like Disney+. Marvel’s recent film, Thunderbolts, followed a typical schedule by hitting paid video-on-demand (PVOD) about two months after its theatrical debut and landing on Disney+ two months after that. If The Fantastic Four: First Steps follows suit, we might see it on PVOD around September 23, with a Disney+ launch expected in mid-to-late November, just in time for the festive season.
The anticipation is high, but it’s shaping up to be worth the wait. With an impressive 87% critic score and 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, this Fantastic Four installment has received glowing reviews and captured audiences’ attention. The characters introduced in this film – Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, Human Torch, and Doctor Doom – are set to play crucial roles in upcoming MCU movies. Mister Fantastic could even lead the Avengers team, while Doctor Doom is rumored to become a key villain in Avengers: Doomsday.
