Marvel's First Family is stepping onto an even larger global stage starting today as "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" officially makes its streaming debut on Nov. 5, 2025, for fans who might have missed the Marvel Studios spectacle the first time around during its successful theatrical run this past summer.

Directed by Matt Shakman, this $200 million sci-fi fantasy film first flew into theaters on July 25, 2025, and eventually collected a modest worldwide total of $521 million throughout its cinematic campaign. More importantly, though, after several infamously poor silver screen outings, First Steps is actually a good Fantastic Four movie! The plot follows our titular superpowered foursome as they guard Earth against a planet-eating space god named Galactus and his shimmery herald, the Silver Surfer.

Whether you decided to hold out until the superhero blockbuster hit the streamers or if you're one of those eager acolytes waiting for repeat viewings, we've got all the details on how to watch "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in the comfort of your home sweet home, where the mighty Galactus can’t get ya!
