How to watch the Fantastic Four movies in order

Marvel's First Family has been rebooted several times on the big screen, so knowing which Fantastic Four films belong together makes the watch order much clearer.
The Fantastic Four β Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm β are Marvel's original superhero team. Their cinematic history spans an early-2000s duology, a 2015 reboot, and a fresh MCU debut, each a separate take on the powers-gaining foursome.
π Release Order
Release order shows how Hollywood has repeatedly reinvented Marvel's First Family.
- Fantastic Four (2005)
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
- Fantastic Four (2015)
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
Each version is its own continuity, so chronology only matters within the 2005β2007 duology.
π Story Chronology
Story chronology keeps the original duology together, with the 2015 and 2025 films standing as separate reboots.
- Fantastic Four (2005)
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
- Fantastic Four (2015) β standalone reboot
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) β MCU reboot
Which Order Should You Choose?
The only connected pair is the 2005 film and its 2007 sequel, so watch those together if you start there. The 2015 reboot is a separate, standalone story, and 2025's First Steps launches the team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you're following the MCU, First Steps is the one to prioritize β the others are alternate takes on the same characters.
