By Michelle McCue | July 17, 2025

Disney+ will live stream the blue-carpet event for Marvel Studios’ THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, offering subscribers an exclusive front-row seat to a world premiere for the first time ever. The star-studded event will unfold at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, celebrating the upcoming theatrical debut of Marvel’s First Family. The livestream kicks off on Monday, July 21 at 7 p.m. PT, with a full replay available to stream following the event.

This unprecedented live experience marks a new chapter for Disney+, bringing fans closer than ever to the excitement, glamour, and behind-the-scenes action of a red-carpet film premiere. From celebrity arrivals to cast interviews and special surprises, the livestream provides Disney+ subscribers around the world exclusive access, including a special sneak peek at the film before it opens in theaters.

The film’s cast and filmmakers will be in attendance, including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles, director Matt Shakman, producer Kevin Feige, executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis, and Tim Lewis, and composer Michael Giacchino, as well as a host of other talent and filmmakers.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. The action-adventure also stars Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, Sarah Niles, and Mark Gatiss.

In 1963, Pop-Tarts changed the world forever with its groundbreaking take on the classic toast and jam. Now, Pop-Tarts is earning its place as a snack superhero! The toaster pastry lineup inspired by Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” in theaters July 25, gives fans a fanTASTEic snacking experience that will take taste buds on a nostalgic journey.

Fan-favorite Pop-Tarts® Frosted Blue Raspberry is returning to the pastry universe – exclusively at Walmart – after a six-year hiatus.

The printed pastries will also be available in specially marked boxes of Pop-Tarts® Frosted Strawberry at grocery retailers nationwide.

“The Pop-Tarts and Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ collaboration is a celebration of our shared 1960s origins,” said Leslie Serro, vice president of marketing for Pop-Tarts. “There’s no better way to welcome everyone’s favorite, blue-suited Super Hero family to the MCU than with the triumphant return of our own fantastically blue toaster pastry – Pop-Tarts Frosted Blue Raspberry – back on shelves for the first time since 2019, and just in time for this summer’s must-see movie.”
