Marvel's "Fantastic Four" Confront Cosmic Threat to Save Earth

As of November 4th, 2025, Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" is set to debut on Disney+, bringing the iconic superhero team to the streaming platform. The film stars Pedro Pascal as "Mister Fantastic" Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as "Invisible Woman" Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as "Human Torch" Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka "the Thing."

The Fantastic Four must come together to confront the threat of Galactus, a planet-devouring villain played by Ralph Ineson, who has arrived on Earth and demands that Reed and Sue hand over their newborn son. As the First Family journeys "across the cosmos," they discover the heart, humor, and family bonds that make them truly fantastic, according to the film's synopsis.

USA TODAY's Brian Truitt praised the film, giving it ★★★ out of four and describing it as "full of retrofuturistic 1960s flavor" with a top-notch cast. Truitt noted that "First Steps" is "the most welcoming Marvel movie in ages, with no previous history or homework required," focusing on telling a compelling tale rather than just another origin story.
