When is The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming to Disney+?
The Fantastic Four: First Steps was an effort to get the Marvel Cinematic Universe on track and while the movie didn’t do numbers that could hold up against some of the studio’s bigger hits, the audience response seemed to have thought it was a stronger outing than some of the more recent projects. Physical media Blu-rays of the movie recently hit retailers, but when will the Marvel film start to stream on Disney+? Variety reports that subscribers will be able to view the film on the platform starting on November 5.
The official synopsis for The Fantastic Four: First Steps reads: Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps has launched Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Matt Shakman (WandaVision) directing from a script by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer. The film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman; Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch; Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing; and Julia Garner as the Shalla-Bal version of the Silver Surfer. Additionally, the great Ralph Ineson plays Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles also joined the cast of the retro-future movie, and Matthew Wood provides the voice of the robot H.E.R.B.I.E.
Our EIC Chris Bumbray had a blast with the film and said “creatively it’s the best Marvel movie in a long time — and a stellar way to introduce Marvel’s First Family to the cinematic universe. […] All in all, Fantastic Four: First Steps surprised me. I’ve been burned out on both Marvel and superhero films in general, but this one got me to care again. And for the first time in ages, a Marvel mid-credits scene actually got me excited about what’s next.”
