Ways to Watch All the Fantastic Four Films Online

With The Fantastic Four: First Steps starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn about to grace the cinemas, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the First Family of the MCU and their journey on the big screen. If you’re curious about where to stream the previous Fantastic Four films to build up your excitement for the new release, we’ve got a gentle guide to help you. While not all of these films were received as fantastically, they each hold their own charm.

Before diving into our exploration of the prior films, let’s take a moment to appreciate the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series, which is now available on Disney+. Crafted by the talented minds of Ron Friedman and Glenn Leopold, and inspired by the beloved comics of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, this series provides insight into how Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Ben Grimm (The Thing), and Johnny Storm (Human Torch) gained their remarkable abilities. The series includes episodes featuring epic confrontations with the powerful Silver Surfer and Galactus — villains who play a crucial role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

For your viewing pleasure, the 1994 animated series is now streaming on Disney+.

The live-action adaptation from Roger Corman in 1994 has gained notoriety for its storied past, having never been officially released in theaters or on TV, so the means of finding that film remains up to your personal journey.

The Mid-2000s Fantastic Four Movies

In the mid-2000s, fans were delighted to see Ioan Gruffudd portray Reed Richards, alongside the enchanting Jessica Alba as Sue Storm. Michael Chiklis took on the role of the forlorn Ben Grimm, and the charming Chris Evans played Johnny Storm, a character he endeared audiences with before stepping into his Captain America persona. This talented cast brought to life two films directed by Tim Story: 2005’s Fantastic Four and its sequel, 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Featuring a memorable appearance by Stan Lee in both films, these productions might not have earned the most favorable reviews, yet they have gathered a devoted following of fans over the years. For those with fond memories, both films are currently available on Disney+ for your enjoyment.

The 2015 Fantastic Four Reboot

In 2015, the First Family was reimagined in a new reboot that aimed to capture a fresh take on this beloved story. With a star-studded cast including future Black Panther adversary Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, Kate Mara as Sue Storm, Miles Teller as Reed Richards, and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm, this version presented its own unique challenges. Although it faced critical scrutiny, its modern take remained bodysuit-forward and filled with ambition. You can find this reboot streaming on Disney+. Additionally, for a delightful surprise, be sure not to overlook John Krasinski’s cameo as Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, also available on Disney+.
