Marvel’s Fantastic Four: When will it release? See theatrical release date, expected streaming release window, digital release and where to watch

Marvel’s Fantastic Four is set to be one of the major releases of 2025. With its theatrical debut on July 25, 2025, fans are eager to know when it will be available for streaming or digital viewing.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four Theatrical Release Date

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will not be released on streaming platforms immediately. The movie will be available only in cinemas when it debuts on July 25, 2025. Marvel and Disney have moved away from same-day streaming and now favor traditional theatrical windows.

Director Matt Shakman confirmed that the film is designed specifically for large screen formats like IMAX. He said the movie’s scenes, including space and Manhattan settings, were captured to enhance the visual scale. Viewers are advised to choose the biggest screen possible to experience the visual impact, especially during scenes featuring Galactus.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four Expected Streaming Release Window and Where to Watch

The Disney Plus release of Fantastic Four is expected by November 2025. However, it may arrive earlier depending on its box office performance. Marvel movies usually come to Disney Plus around 90 to 100 days after their theatrical debut.

For instance, Deadpool & Wolverine took 109 days to arrive on Disney Plus. If The Fantastic Four: First Steps follows a similar timeline, late October or early November is the most likely streaming window.

If the film does well in cinemas, its Disney Plus debut could be delayed. But if the movie’s earnings decline quickly, Disney might move up the streaming release. Based on current projections, viewers should not expect the film on Disney Plus before late October.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four Digital Purchase or Rental Likely by September

If you prefer to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps at home without waiting for the Disney Plus release, the digital version will likely be available for purchase or rent by September 2025.

Marvel films typically appear on digital platforms around 60 days after their theatrical release. For example, Thunderbolts arrived digitally two months after its cinema release. Applying the same timeline, Fantastic Four may be released digitally around September 23, 2025, though no official date has been confirmed.

Digital purchase or rental usually costs more upon release. When Thunderbolts became available on video-on-demand (VOD), it cost $24.99 to buy and $19.99 to rent. A similar pricing model is expected for Fantastic Four.
