Is Fantastic Four: First Steps Streaming? How to Watch It Online Right Now
Two months after Marvel's First Family blasted back into theaters, the dust still hasn't settled — and the numbers tell a sharper story than the hype.
Marvel has been wobbling a bit lately (by its own sky-high standards), but Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps felt like the franchise finally finding its footing again. Neither one crushed box office records, but critics were mostly on board, and both clearly tee up Avengers: Doomsday. If you skipped the crowds or just want a second look at Marvel's First Family, here is where and when you can watch Fantastic Four: First Steps at home.
Quick refresher on this one
The latest Fantastic Four landed in UK cinemas back on 25 July 2025 and rolled out the new team lineup: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Their first outing throws them straight at a cosmic-level headache courtesy of Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and The Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). It has been almost two months since that big-screen debut, which means the at-home window is officially open.
Where to watch and when
- Digital rental/purchase: Available now (from Tuesday 23 September 2025) on Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube, and Google Play. Pricing is rent from £15.99, buy from £19.99.
- Still in cinemas: A handful of UK theaters are still showing it if you want one more go on the big screen.
- Physical media: Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD arrive on 14 October 2025.
- Disney Plus: No date yet. Going by Marvel's usual playbook, expect a streaming drop roughly 6–8 weeks after the digital release, which puts it in the mid-to-late November 2025 zone. I will update when Disney locks it in.
Why this rollout matters (yes, it is a little inside baseball)
Marvel sticking to a quick digital turn (just under two months after theaters) suggests the studio wants to keep the hype warm heading into Avengers: Doomsday. The timing also lines up with the recent strategy we saw on the last couple of MCU entries: get the digital out fast, then follow with discs, then Disney Plus a few weeks later.
Trailer
If you want a vibe check before you rent or buy, the official trailer is easy to find on the usual channels. It leans into the cosmic scale and that uneasy first-contact energy between the team and the Surfer.
Bottom line: Fantastic Four: First Steps is out now to rent or buy digitally, with discs close behind and Disney Plus likely landing in November. If you have been waiting for the MCU to feel like itself again, this is one of the brighter signs.
