The Fantastic Four: First Steps Showtimes & Streaming Guide

If you’ve typed “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” into a search bar today, you’ve hit the same wall: the movie is in theaters, but it isn’t on Netflix or Disney+. The search results get even more confusing when one theater lists a 2h 6m runtime and another lists 115 minutes. Here’s what the official pages, cinema listings, and streaming checkers actually say right now.

Runtime (Santikos): 2h 6m · Runtime (Zurich Cinemas): 115 min · IMAX format: Available · Participating cinemas: EVO, Santikos, Zurich, Forest · Forest Cinema status: No showtimes scheduled

The split runtime is the first sign that different exhibitors are using different cut lengths. The pattern: consumers need to check their local cinema’s listing rather than trusting a single number online.

Is The Fantastic Four: First Steps streaming on Netflix or Disney+?

No. As of today, neither service lists the film. JustWatch, a streaming aggregator, shows no active Netflix or Disney+ availability, and Disney+, the streaming service, does not currently include the title in its catalog.

Disney+ launched in 2019, and Disney chose not to renew the licensing deals that had kept some Marvel titles on Netflix. That’s why a “Marvel on Netflix” search no longer surfaces new releases.

The official Marvel.com, the studio’s official premiere page, confirms the film’s theatrical release but does not mention a streaming date. No official 2026 Marvel movie slate for Netflix has been announced.

The pattern: when a new Marvel title leaves the theater, it almost always lands on Disney+ — but until a studio confirms it, a missing listing is just a missing listing.

Are there any IMAX showtimes for The Fantastic Four: First Steps?

Yes. IMAX showtimes are available at participating cinemas. The runtime split is the clearest signal: Santikos Theatres, a participating exhibitor, lists 2h 6m, while Zurich Cinemas, another participating exhibitor, lists 115 minutes.

Participating cinemas include EVO, Santikos, Zurich, and Forest. Forest Cinema currently has no scheduled performances. IMDb, the film’s title page, also lists IMAX showtimes for other U.S. ZIP-code searches, so IMAX is not a one-theater rumor.

The catch: IMAX availability is local, not global — one cinema’s 2h 6m listing is another’s 115 min.

Is Marvel no longer on Netflix?

For this film, the practical answer is yes: Marvel licensing to Netflix has not been renewed. JustWatch, a streaming aggregator, shows the title as unavailable on Netflix, and no new Marvel movie has been added to that service.

Disney+ launched in 2019, and Disney chose not to renew the licensing deals that had kept some Marvel titles on Netflix. That shift explains why the “Marvel on Netflix” catalog now feels older and more incomplete.

No official 2026 Marvel movie slate for Netflix has been announced on Marvel.com, the studio’s official premiere page, so any “coming to Netflix” list is speculative until Disney or Marvel confirms a date.

Why this matters: “Marvel on Netflix” now mostly points to older licensed titles, not new releases.

Specifications

The table below compiles every spec that matters for deciding whether to head to a theater or wait for a streaming login.

The takeaway: the spec sheet is only as useful as the local listing you check before buying a ticket.

What’s next

No official 2026 Marvel movie slate for Netflix has been announced on Marvel.com, the studio’s official premiere page. Until Disney or Marvel confirms a streaming date, any “next Marvel on Netflix” headline is speculation.

The takeaway: the only confirmed “what’s next” is the theatrical window still playing out in IMAX.

Confirmed facts vs. what’s still unclear

Confirmed:

• Not on Netflix or Disney+ as of now (JustWatch, a streaming aggregator; Disney+, the streaming service)
• IMAX format is available at participating cinemas (Santikos Theatres, a participating exhibitor; Zurich Cinemas, another participating exhibitor)
• Forest Cinema has no scheduled performances
• Runtime differs by exhibitor: 2h 6m vs. 115 minutes
• Rated PG-13 and listed as Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi (IMDb, the film’s title page)

Still unclear:

• Whether a 2026 streaming date exists — no official announcement has been made
• Whether IMAX Enhanced will be available on Disney+ in all regions — Disney+, the streaming service, says availability is subject to device and language limitations
• Any “top critics” editorial verdict — Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, had no review roundup indexed in the top search results when this was checked

The trade-off: the facts answer “where can I watch it today?” but not “when will it stream?”

What the official pages say

“IMAX Enhanced availability is subject to device and language limitations, and enhanced sound is not available for all titles, territories, devices, or languages.”Disney+, the streaming service

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps is rated PG-13 and categorized as Action, Adventure, and Sci-Fi.”IMDb, the film’s title page

The common thread: both sources are describing the same release — the uncertainty is in the streaming window, not the film’s existence.

The bottom line

Until Disney and Marvel confirm a 2026 streaming date, the only reliable way to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in a theater — and the only safe assumption for fans is that any “Netflix release” rumor is speculation. For Disney+ subscribers, that means the film will land only when the studio decides it has had its theatrical run.
