After Fantastic Four (2015), 20th Century Fox started working on a new Fantastic Four movie. Marvel Studios gained control of the franchise after the studio was purchased by Disney in March 2019, and a new movie was revealed in July. The goal of Marvel Studios was not to repeat the characters' origin story but to tell a fresh one. Filming took place on location in England and Spain as well as at Pinewood Studios in London from July to November 2024.


In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Fantastic Four have to defend their retro-futuristic, 1960s-inspired world against Galactus, a cosmic creature that devours planets.
