<\/a><\/p>\nThe Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/p>\n
10<\/p>\n
Set against the backdrop of a \u201960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel\u2019s First Family faces a daunting challenge. Forced to balance being heroes with their family bond, they must defend Earth from a space god and his enigmatic herald.<\/p>\n
After October\u2019s price increases<\/a>, standalone Disney+ now starts at $11.99\/month, with Premium subscribptions starting at $18.99\/month. The spread of Disney+ bundles<\/a> are all about $1-2 more expensive, save the new bundle with ESPN Unlimited which is still available at a small discount<\/a>. To be honest, if you\u2019re not already a subscriber, I\u2019d recommend holding off until Black Friday deals<\/a>. <\/p>\n The MCU\u2019s first Fantastic Four movie grossed over $500 million at the global box office<\/a> after landing in theaters on July 25. Yes, that does mean it trails behind DC’s Superman (which you can stream on HBO Max<\/a>), but as Carlos Morales so aptly writes for IGN, \u201cIt\u2019s fine if not every superhero movie makes a billion dollars<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Clint Gage’s review of the movie for IGN<\/a> speaks highly of the new cast: \u201cThere\u2019s a charisma to each of them individually and chemistry between them all,\u201d going so far as to say they feel like a \u201cproper family.\u201d Much of what resonated with this film is its portrayal of family, even for the cast themselves, as we spoke with star Vanessa Kirby earlier this year<\/a> about her role as both a strong superhero and mother.<\/p>\n What’s Next for the MCU? <\/p>\n The MCU has a spread of Disney+ series in the works, including Wonder Man, Vision Quest, and a second season of Daredevil: Born Again. Big movies coming out next year include Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> (July 31, 2026), and, of course, Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> (December 18, 2026), which will be the next time we get to see this version of the Fantastic Four<\/a>.
