Release date for The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Disney+ is announced

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is finally heading to Disney+ this November, and Marvel fans couldn’t be happier. After a huge theatrical run this summer, the film will officially be available to stream on Disney+ starting November 5.

The announcement was confirmed by Marvel Studios through their social media, followed by a new poster and teaser drop. So yes, the wait is over, and fans can soon relive the debut of Marvel’s First Family right from their screens.

Marvel’s most awaited MCU streaming debut finally has a release date

When The Fantastic Four: First Steps was first released in July 2025, it soon became the MCU project everyone could not stop talking about. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film introduced Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The movie alone took the film to a $522 million global box office total, making it Marvel’s biggest win of the year. Now, months after its success in theaters, Disney+ will be releasing The Fantastic Four: First Steps on November 5.

In addition to this Disney+ release, Marvel also confirmed that the soundtrack by Michael Giacchino will soon be available and released on a limited-edition translucent vinyl.

What makes The Fantastic Four: First Steps Disney+ release such a big deal for MCU fans

The Fantastic Four: First Steps isn’t just another superhero movie making its way to streaming; it also marks a new beginning for Marvel’s Phase 6. The story follows an already established team of heroes navigating both cosmic chaos and family life.

The center of the movie is Reed and Sue discovering they’re expecting a baby, only to face a world-ending warning from Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer. Things escalate when Galactus, voiced by Ralph Ineson, enters the picture. Without giving away spoilers, the film’s final moments set up something massive for the MCU.

And speaking of teases, Robert Downey Jr.’s post-credits appearance as Doctor Doom was the jaw-dropper everyone is still talking about. It directly connects The Fantastic Four: First Steps to 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.

With this Disney+ release, Marvel is making sure that everyone has a chance to catch up before the Multiverse Saga reaches its biggest showdown yet.

This streaming release also fits Marvel’s pattern perfectly. Earlier 2025 releases like Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* made it to Disney+ roughly three months after their theatrical debuts, and the same rule applies here.

For fans who missed it in theaters or those eager to watch it again before the next Avengers movie, November 5 is circled on every Marvel lover’s calendar.

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps arriving on Disney+ on November 5, Marvel closes out the year with one of its most anticipated home releases yet.

It’s not just about rewatching the film; it’s about witnessing the beginning of a new era for the MCU. Whether you’re catching it for the first time or diving back in for those post-credit surprises, this November is going to be, well, fantastic.
