FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is out now in theaters. Regardless of
whether you plan on seeing it on the biggest screen possible, though, you might be wondering when it'll available on Disney+ .

In short: The Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn't have a Disney+ release date yet. However, based on the launch dates of previous Marvel movies on the streamer, we can guess when it'll land on one of the world's best streaming services .

Below, I'll predict when First Steps will join Disney+'s movie library. I'll also provide more information on the iconic quartet's latest big-screen offering, so make sure you read to the end of this article. Before you scroll on, though, check out my review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps to see
what I thought about it. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Disney+ release date prediction The Fantastic Four: First Steps won't be stretching its limbs on Disney+ just yet (Image credit: Marvel Studios)

At the time of publication, First Steps doesn't have an official Disney+ launch date. It only landed in cinemas worldwide on July 25, so it'll be a
few months before it gets the greenlight to join Disney's primary streaming platform

It'll be a while before the first Marvel Phase 6 movie is added to Disney+'s back catalog, too. Thunderbolts* , which launched in theaters on May 2, still hasn't been released on the service, either check out my Thunderbolts* on Disney+ article to learn when it may do so.

Nonetheless, that won't prevent me from speculating on First Steps '
streaming release. Usually, Marvel releases its new movies on Disney+ around three months after their theatrical debut. With The Fantastic Four 's fourth film the first set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ), mind you only just arriving in theaters, it won't join our new Disney+ movies guide until late October at the earliest.

That said, I think we're in for a slightly longer wait. Deadpool and
Wolverine , the only MCU film released in 2024, launched in theaters on July 26 but didn't come to Disney+ until November 12. If First Steps performs as well as the aforementioned comic book movie, I expect Marvel to delay its Disney+ launch until mid-November, too.

My guess? It'll do so on November 11 or 18, i.e. a week or two before US Thanksgiving and a few weeks after Marvel Zombies , the penultimate MCU TV show of 2025, has ended.

Not yet, though that could change in a couple of months.

Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* landed on premium video
on demand (PVOD) platforms and digital stores around eight weeks after their theatrical releases. It's possible, then, that First Steps could follow in their footsteps and be made available on Prime Video , Apple TV, and YouTube sometime in September. I'll update this section once I know more. What is the runtime for The Fantastic Four: First Steps? Flame one! First Steps' runtime isn't too long (Image credit: Marvel Studios)

One of the best Marvel movies (of recent years, anyway) clocks in at just under two hours. Indeed, its official runtime is one hour and 54 minutes.

That includes its end credits sequence, and mid- and post-credits scenes
(read my T he Fantastic Four: First Steps ending explained piece for more details on those end credit stingers). In summary: First Steps is one of the shortest MCU movies of all-time.
