by

Fans can now stream The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering a preview of what’s coming in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year. Pedro Pascal, as Reed Richards, and the rest of the cast deliver strong performances in this film.

I was so excited for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it totally delivered! It made over $521.9 million in theaters, which is amazing, and critics loved it – it has an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes! It’s officially the highest-grossing Fantastic Four movie ever, and honestly, it’s one of the most exciting MCU films I’ve seen, especially with its 1960s setting and a Galactus that really felt like he stepped right out of the comics. And now, if you missed it in cinemas like I almost did, you can finally watch it!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Is Now Streaming On Disney+

After playing in theaters, The Fantastic Four: First Steps became available to rent or buy digitally on September 23rd. Physical copies, including 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD versions, arrived in stores on October 14th, meaning fans can now fully enjoy the movie at home.

Starting today, November 5th, you can now watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Disney+. If you have a Disney+ subscription, you can enjoy the film for the first time or watch it again after seeing it in theaters. It’s available on the streaming service just over three months after its initial release.

Why You Should Watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps

If you missed seeing the new Fantastic Four movie in theaters, you can now watch it on Disney+. It offers a first glimpse of what’s likely to be the franchise’s biggest villain yet, and many believe it’s the best on-screen adaptation of the Fantastic Four so far. The actors perfectly capture the personalities of their comic book counterparts.

Reed Richards is portrayed as the world’s most brilliant mind, a fact consistently demonstrated throughout the movie. Sue Storm acts as the team’s anchor and possesses immense power. Johnny Storm maintains his fun-loving personality, but the film also highlights his intelligence. Ben Grimm reveals a softer, more vulnerable side beneath his tough exterior. The choice to set the story in a stylish, 1960s version of New York City is a great fit for the characters and tone.

This film introduces a fresh universe within the MCU, complete with its own unique backstory and variations from what fans already know. Finally, we see Galactus portrayed as he is in the comics – a massive, humanoid figure embodying immense destructive power. The version of Silver Surfer presented, Shalla-Bal, is a compelling choice that effectively explains the absence of the traditional Norrin Radd character.

In short, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a crucial movie for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film centers on Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue Richards, and importantly, it features the first appearance of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom in the MCU. The post-credits scene shows Doom interacting with Franklin at the Baxter Building, making this film a must-see for fans of the Avengers.
