Peacemaker's new trailer reveals how it'll tidy up DC canon.
Posted Jul 28, 2025 at 10:33 AM UTC Peacemaker's new trailer reveals how it'll tidy up DC canon. The HBO Max series is the last hangover from DC's old universe, but it has to line up with the new world started by Superman . This trailer for season two hints at how that'll happen, and if you guessed 'multiverse' then you don't get any prize because it was both obvious and inevitable.

When is 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" sees a new incarnation of Marvel's First Family making their big debut, and the MCU's final movie of 2025 seems to be another strong outing (after "Thunderbolts"). "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" takes us back in time to a retro-futuristic world, introducing us to the group — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they defend the Earth from a terrifying presence: Galactus (Ralph Ineson). The movie's already on its way to success: at the time of writing, it's bested James Gunn's "Superman," earning a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than the DCU summer blockbuster. And, given the amount of hype behind "Fantastic Four: First Steps," box office success seems bound to follow. If you can't make it to the movies to see the new "Fantastic Four" movie anytime soon, we don't currently have a "Fantastic Four: First Steps" streaming date just yet. That said, below I've made an educated guess at when the movie might be available to watch at home. At the time of writing, the only way to see "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is by heading to your nearest movie theater. It only hit the big screen on July 25 (or July 24, in the U.K.), and that's likely where it'll stay for some time. And before it makes its streaming debut, the "Fantastic Four's" new adventure will first hit premium video-on-demand (PVOD) storefronts like Amazon or Apple. Like I mentioned, we do not yet have a streaming release date for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," but I have an idea of when the movie might land on Disney Plus. Right now, I'm predicting "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will come to Disney Plus in (or around) October 29, 2025. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That's based on the average length of time we've waited for recent Disney releases to come to Disney's streaming services. For example, Rami Malek thriller "The Amateur" recently came to Hulu (and Disney Plus, outside the US) 98 days after it hit the big screen. "Snow White," meanwhile, came to Disney Plus 83 days after it premiered, whilst "Captain America: Brave New World" landed on May 28, 104 days after it first hit theaters. Looking further back, we waited 97 days to stream "Mufasa: The Lion King," and 106 for "Moana 2". So, if we assume we'll wait around 90-100 days to stream "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" on Disney Plus, we arrive at that potential Disney Plus release date of Wednesday, October 29, 2025 (hence my guess above). Nothing official has been confirmed by Disney, though, and if this new Marvel release approaches "Deadpool & Wolverine" levels of box office success, there's every chance Disney might keep it in theaters a little longer. As soon as we get any official news or a confirmed "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" streaming date, we'll be sure to update this article.

Marvel's new 'Fantastic Four' blasts off with $218 million in box office debut
It's a fantastic weekend to be Marvel. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," directed by Matt Shakman, has earned $218 million worldwide since debuting in theaters on Friday. That's $118 million in domestic ticket sales and $100 million internationally. This weekend's box office numbers are a needed victory for Marvel, which has struggled to replicate its enormous success with previous films like " Avengers: Endgame," which earned $1.2 billion during its opening weekend. More recent Marvel films, like " Thunderbolts*," which was critically well-received, surpassed the $100 million mark during its opening weekend. But the threat of superhero fatigue among viewers has weighed on studios. DC Studios also saw big numbers for its latest superhero movie. "Superman" earned well over $200 million during its opening weekend earlier this month. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," based on the 1961 comic book, stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the titular heroes. This iteration takes place in an alternative universe set in the 1960s.
