The First Family’s Fresh Start
Forget the old origin story.
This new film skips the tired cosmic-ray setup and throws Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben right into a swirling multiverse storm. It’s sleek, confident, and totally 1960s-inspired — think Tomorrowland meets Guardians of the Galaxy.
Marvel Studios has officially called The Fantastic Four: First Steps the kickoff of Phase Six, setting the tone for everything that comes next. Expect science, style, and space — with a dash of family drama and world-ending peril.
🌀 What Makes First Steps Different
It’s not just a reboot — it’s a reset.
Instead of another origin flick, this one drops you into an alternate timeline: Earth-828, a reality packed with mid-century tech, wild color palettes, and swirling cosmic portals.
Galactus and the Silver Surfer headline the threat list — a high-stakes duo unseen in the MCU until now.
And thanks to IMAX Enhanced support on Disney+, you can stream it in full expanded aspect ratio with DTS:X sound. For anyone with a compatible setup, it’s the closest thing to an in-home cinema Marvel’s released yet.
🎯 Why Fans Are Buzzing
Early numbers are strong — 86% critics and 91% audience on Rotten Tomatoes — and the fan chatter online is electric. Many are calling it “the most confident Marvel movie since Endgame.”
Fun stat: The film made over $510 million worldwide, outpacing projections and marking a healthy rebound for Marvel’s box office momentum.
