When is The Fantastic Four: First Steps on streaming? Speculation on the potential Disney Plus release date

Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps is one of the biggest films of the summer. But perhaps you've been waiting to watch it in the comfort of your own home and you're wondering when The Fantastic Four: First Steps is on streaming?

That's a good question and one that we don't have a firm answer for just yet. Still, we do now know when the film is getting its first digital (and Blu-ray!) release and, thanks to trends and patterns from previous Marvel movies, we can make a pretty good guess about when it will be streaming.

So scroll on down for that information and for some speculation on when we think The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be landing on Disney Plus. While you wait, be sure to check out the Marvel movies to watch before Fantastic Four, and our complete guide on how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

We now know that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be available to rent and buy on digital storefronts on September 23 – the exact day we predicted. Go us! It will also be available to buy on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 14.

New Marvel theatrical releases tend to arrive on Disney Plus about 90 days after they've premiered in cinemas. That's not a hard and fast rule, mind, with Deadpool and Wolverine taking 97 days, Captain America: Brave New World taking 103 days, and Thunderbolts* taking 119 days before it started streaming on Disney Plus.

That would put the movie's Disney Plus release somewhere around late October and on a Wednesday (which is the day that Disney puts all its big releases onto the streamer). Although there's no guarantee of this, we think that October 29 looks like a likely day for the new film to be hitting streaming, though it's also possible that it might slip into November.
