The Fantastic Four are back! Marvel finally unveiled the first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and fans are buzzing with excitement about getting the version they’ve been waiting for with Marvel’s First Family finally making their way to the MCU. Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will be the franchise’s fourth attempt at a live-action adaptation of the Fantastic Four adventures.
Earlier, the possibility of Fantastic Four characters interacting with the Avengers and the rest of the MCU’s extended universe seemed like a distant dream, as the movie rights for Fantastic Four and its supporting characters belonged to Fox, not Disney.

Before we see Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach step into the roles of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, let’s take a look back at all the Fantastic Four movies and TV shows ever made. Read on to discover where to find them streaming online!
From Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994) to Fantastic Four (2005): What Are the Best Fantastic Four Movies and TV Shows to Watch?
The Fantastic Four comics have always held a special place in the hearts of Marvel fans, with their dynamic family bond, thrilling adventures, and larger-than-life villains. As we wait for the family’s fantastic return to the big screen, let’s turn back the clock and take a look at some of the most memorable animated and live-action TV series and movies that brought the rock-solid stories and adventures of Fantastic Four to life.
Animated Beginnings: Fantastic Four’s Classic TV Adventures
If you're a fan of traditional Sunday morning cartoons, you'll thoroughly enjoy the Fantastic Four: The Animated Series. The nostalgia-inducing series brings classic comic book storylines to life with vibrant animation and iconic villains like Doctor Doom and Galactus.
Alternatively, Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes (2006) offers a more modern take on the story with its sleek animation style, action-packed approach, and fast-paced narratives, making it a memorable watch for both longtime fans and newcomers.
Live-Action Adventures: Fantastic Four’s Journey to The Silver Screen
The Fantastic Four (2005) introduced audiences to a new era of superhero storytelling, capturing the essence of the team’s camaraderie and larger-than-life battles. With a stellar ensemble featuring Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm, the film brought The Fantastic Four into the modern blockbuster era with high-energy action and humor.
Its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), expanded the universe even further, introducing the enigmatic Silver Surfer and hinting at the cosmic force of Galactus. However, the film wasn’t as well received as its predecessor and ended up being the last installment in Tim Story’s run.
Fox later attempted to revive the franchise with Fantastic Four (2015), a reboot set in an alternate universe featuring a whole new ensemble cast, including Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan. This was also the last Fantastic Four film produced by 20th Century Fox before the studio was acquired by Disney, at which point the rights reverted back to Disney.
