THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is ready to blast off from the big screen and land right in your living room for a cosmic family movie night. With a hosted review copy of the film, we took at look at the exclusive bonus content including deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes.

The film was available for purchase in Digital on September 23 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on October 14. MouseInfo is an Amazon Affiliate so qualifying purchases made from this page may be eligible for commission.

The digital and physical home release promise several bonus features including deleted scenes, a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and filmmaker commentary by director Matt Shakman and production designer Kasra Farahani. Amazon offers an exclusive bundle featuring a limited-edition SteelBook with a custom magnet-front variant cover, five collector cards, and a special comic, while Walmart provides an exclusive pop-up Blu-ray package featuring a display that springs to life with the team soaring into action in the Fantasticar.

This home release proves once again that despite how heroic a film may be on the big screen, the Marvel Studios response on home release is to give the people not nearly what they want. For such a popular and big franchise like Fantastic Four, they really pulled out a bunch of stops for promoting the theatrical release of the film but the extras feel a little predictably lackluster. We have the expected assortment of deleted scenes and gag reels plus featurettes assembled with junket interviews and some behind-the-scenes footage. For a long-awaited introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we were hoping for a little more.
