The Fantastic Four: First Steps has yet to confirm its Disney+ release date, but you will soon be able to watch the MCU movie at home.
Disney has confirmed that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released on digital platforms on Tuesday 23 September. You can even pre-order it right now from the likes of Prime Video and Apple TV.
But if you don’t want to buy or rent it, we know the movie will arrive on the streaming service eventually, so here’s when to expect The Fantastic Four: First Steps to be released on Disney+.
What to Read NextWhen will The Fantastic Four: First Steps be released on Disney+?
As mentioned above, The Fantastic Four: First Steps does not yet have a Disney+ release date, but we can work out when to expect it based on previous Disney releases.
Disney releases typically take around 100 days to arrive on Disney+, such as Captain America: Brave New World which arrived 104 days after its release in cinemas. It’s rarely quicker when it comes to MCU movies and it could be longer, such as Thunderbolts* taking 118 days.
That means the earliest we can expect to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Disney+ is late October or early November.
It’s typical that Disney+ premieres happen on a Wednesday, putting the likeliest release dates on either Wednesday 29 October (just before the end of the 100-day window) or Wednesday 5 November (just after the 100-day window).
Whichever day it’s released on Disney+, you’ll be able to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps from 8am on the release day in the UK (midnight PT or 3am ET in the US).
As you wait for the new movie to land on Disney+, you can watch a “special look” at the new movie right now on the streaming service. It contains an extended scene from the start of the movie.
You can watch almost all of the MCU movies to date, except for the Spider-Man trilogy on Disney+ right now, as well as the three previous Fantastic Four movies if you so wished.
If you’re not a subscriber, you can sign up to Disney+ from £4.99 per month for the Disney+ Standard with Ads package. There are also ad-free options at £8.99 and £12.99 per month, with annual fees of £89.90 and £129.90, respectively.
