MCU and Marvel comics have been credited with creating some of the most excellent teams of superheroes to grace our screens. The Fantastic Four was the ‘first family’ of superheroes in the Marvel Universe.
A live-action adaptation of the Fantastic Four has been done several times. The first one was released in 2005, and a sequel was released in 2007. A franchise reboot was launched in 2015, but unfortunately, none of these three movies was as successful as the first one.
Now, the Fantastic Four are in the MCU, and the movie is supposed to be released in 2025. In this article, find out about The Fantastic Four: First Steps release date, starring, overview and all other details that we know currently.
When is The Fantastic Four Coming Out: Release Date
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released on July 25, 2025, worldwide. Originally, the movie was scheduled for a November 2024 release, but the SAG-AFTRA strikes affected the movie’s shooting a little. When the cast for The Fantastic Four was revealed, the release date for the movie was shifted to July 25, 2025.
Is there any trailer for The Fantastic Four
To my knowledge, Marvel has not released any trailers, but a short teaser was shown at the D23 Expo and soon uploaded to the internet. The teaser contained the first glimpse of the whole figure of Galactus and radiated the feel of a 1960s movie. It also offered the first glimpse of the Fantasticar, which looks great.
The Fantastic Four Cast
The lead cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps was revealed on February 14, 2024, on X (formerly Twitter), where it was made official that Pedro Pascal would portray Mister Fantastic, Venessa Kirby would portray the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn would portray the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach would portray The Thing. Shortly after this, the news emerged that Julia Garner would portray Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer as well.
The biggest reveal was that Ralph Ineson will voice Galactus, the villain of The Fantastic Four. We also know that Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne will be on the cast list; however, their roles have not been revealed yet.

The Fantastic Four Plot
There is not much information about the storyline of the Fantastic Four Movie. The movie will be set in the 1960s, and the best part is that it will not bother depicting the team’s creation. When it is time for the sequel, we will witness an aged Reed Richards, and the team will have to face off with Galactus. The specifics of the plot are undisclosed since there was no greater summary in the teaser at D23.
Due to Robert Downey Jr.’s involvement in the movie as the actor of Doctor Doom, it might end with a post-credit scene of Doctor Doom, but this is just assumptive. It is still relatively early for the movie to be released, so let’s see the movie trailers to choose the plot of Fantastic Four.
