On July 21, 2025, Disney+ will offer live coverage of the blue carpet event held in Los Angeles to celebrate the world premiere of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic 4: First Steps . Directed by Matt Shakman, this highly anticipated feature will reunite Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in a new adaptation of the famous superhero team. Please note: only the event will be broadcast - the film will be released in cinemas two days later.
This exclusive broadcast will include interviews, celebrity arrivals and an excerpt from the film. All accessible to Disney+ subscribers worldwide.
The blue carpet of Fantastic 4: First Steps will be broadcast live on Disney+ on Monday July 21 at 7pm (Pacific time) / Tuesday July 22 at 4am (Paris time).
Synopsis: The film follows the debut of Marvel's First Family in the cinematic universe, with a new team confronting their origins, powers and place in a changing world. Between science, adventure and cosmic stakes, these four heroes will have to learn to stand together to meet their first challenges.
For the first time, Disney+ will offer a live broadcast of a Marvel blue carpet. This initiative gives subscribers access to the atmosphere of a Hollywood preview from the comfort of their own homes. The event will take place at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, and will feature the film's crew, guests and behind-the-scenes footage of this major release.
It's important to note that the film will not be shown during this broadcast. Viewers will only see highlights of the preview, including interviews, surprises and an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming film.
Director Matt Shakman will be joined by the film's main performers: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn, as well as Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles and Ralph Ineson. Composer Michael Giacchino and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will also be present, alongside producers Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis.
With The Fantastic 4: First Steps, Marvel Studios introduces a new iteration of an iconic group already adapted several times in the past. This version should fit in with the current cinematic universe of the MCU, potentially linking with the themes of the multiverse. The blue-carpet release also keeps the Marvel community engaged on a global scale.
The preview broadcast on Disney+ is aimed at subscribers interested in behind-the-scenes, prestigious castings and exclusive content. It could appeal not only to Marvel fans, but also to fans of live cultural events. Modelled on the fan events around Loki or WandaVision, this initiative marks a new stage in the strategy of enhancing the value of in-house productions on the platform.
The Fantastic 4: First Steps is a Marvel film directed by Matt Shakman, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Disney+ will broadcast the blue carpet event live on July 21, 2025 (July 22 at 4 a.m. Paris time), ahead of the film's theatrical release on July 23.
