Release date for “Fantastic Four” in 2025:
The Fantastic Four is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 25, 2025
Disney announced on Wednesday that it is changing the release dates for “Fantastic Four” and “Thunderbolts” in 2025. “Thunderbolts” will now start the summer season on May 2, while “Fantastic Four” will premiere on July 25.
Originating from the creative minds of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1961, The Fantastic Four follows the story of a family of astronauts who acquire superhero abilities after being exposed to cosmic rays during a space expedition. Ben Grimm, also known as Thing, is a former college football star, Reed’s roommate from college, and an accomplished pilot.
Under the leadership of Kevin Feige, Marvel is embarking on a significant reboot following Disney’s acquisition of the 20th-century Fox Marvel assets, including the Fantastic Four. Before this, 20th Century Fox produced two movies in 2005 and 2007, titled “Fantastic Four” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” which collectively earned over $635 million worldwide.
However, a reboot in 2015 directed by Josh Trank faced commercial disappointment, generating only $167.8 million globally.
