Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps saw a dramatic decline in box office revenue after its July 25th opening weekend, showing a 66% drop in its second week. Although Marvel Studios enthusiasts showed up to see how the film set in an alternate depiction of Earth would set up Avengers Doomsday, the slump in interest echoes the underwhelming cinematic showings of Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World.
The MCU's First Family will see a new opportunity to engage viewers when Fantastic Four: First Steps makes its way to digital streaming. Below is what has already been announced about the release of the feature on video-on-demand and educated guesses for its Disney+ launch.
What is the Date for Rent or Purchase Marvel's Latest Film Digitally?
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will debut on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play and various online stores on the 23rd of September. It is currently up for early booking at $29.99.
What is the Release Date for Marvel's Blockbuster on Physical Media?
The movie's 4K UHD digital, disc and HD Blu-ray releases will release on the 14th of October. The physical release includes a outtakes, a behind-the-scenes look on the creation of the Marvel icons, and audio commentary from helmer Matt Shakman and artist Kasra Farahani. The director and team also discuss the experience of filming on the massive sets used to create a stylishly vintage vision of NYC and their method to translating characters like Galactus, Mole Man, and the Silver Surfer from the page to the screen.
The physical release also contains five cut sequences including the celebration of a special holiday and additional scenes set in the underground world. Amazon will be releasing an special metal case that bundles art cards depicting the members of the team and a special issue.
When Will Marvel's New Release on Disney+?
Disney Studios owns Marvel Studios, so Disney Plus will be the primary home for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Thunderbolts debuted on the service on Aug. 27, about a quarter after its 2nd May big-screen premiere, and Brave New World arrived on the platform on May 28 after its Valentine's Day debut. That means, Fantastic Four: First Steps will almost certainly be streaming on Disney Plus in the month of November.
