The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Plot
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shakman, shifts the MCU’s tone into a retrofuturistic 1960s setting, introducing Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm in a universe where their heroism is already legendary.
The film dives into their struggle as a family when the Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner, warns of Galactus’s (Ralph Ineson) arrival. With their son Franklin caught in the middle of a cosmic crisis, the four embark on a desperate mission that tests both their powers and their bond.
The cast includes Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, supported by Natasha Lyonne, Mark Gatiss, and Sarah Niles, with Matthew Wood voicing H.E.R.B.I.E., the team’s robotic ally.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Critical Acclaim & Box Office Success
The movie holds a Certified Fresh 86% critic score and a 91% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, marking it as the most acclaimed Fantastic Four adaptation yet. Its $117.6 million domestic opening weekend hinted at massive potential. While its overall box office performance fell below early expectations, it became the franchise’s highest-grossing film to date, earning $521 million worldwide, including $274.2 million domestically and $247.5 million internationally.
For now, fans can relive their debut adventure when The Fantastic Four: First Steps lands on Disney+ on November 5, officially completing Marvel’s 2025 theatrical lineup on the platform.
