The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/a> review embargo<\/strong> information has appeared online, giving fans a better idea of when they can anticipate reactions to the highly anticipated MCU movie. <\/p>\n

When is The Fantastic Four: First Steps review embargo?<\/p>\n

According to critic Scott Menzel on X, The Fantastic Four: First Steps review embargo is set for July 22, 2025, at 12 p.m. ET\/9 a.m. PT. Ahead of that, social media reactions for the film will be able to be posted slightly earlier at 1 a.m. ET\/10 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n

This provides a good look at when fans will likely be able to find out what the general reactions to the movie are. Traditionally, social media reactions to films come from influencers or other attendees to early screenings, with proper reviews from critics going up shortly after.<\/p>\n

Some critics have also criticized the quick turnaround of the embargo, pointing out that the screenings for critics only occurs a handful of hours ahead of when the embargo is up. <\/p>\n

Fantastic Four is screening at 7pm the night before a noon embargo, so critics will have 3 work hours at most to file their reviews (to say nothing of the edit process). not the biggest crisis on earth, but I\u2019ll never get why studios keep doing this to their films. even good ones<\/p>\n
