The Fantastic Four: First Steps released on 4K Blu-ray this week (October 14) with two different Steelbook Editions. The regular Steelbook Edition is in stock for $48 at Amazon and Walmart; if you’re looking for the Amazon-exclusive Steelbook Bundle, the retailer restocked the $75 collector’s edition on launch day, but it has switched back and forth between available and unavailable multiple times tonight. If you don’t care about steelbook cases, the standard edition 4K Blu-ray is discounted to only $27 at Amazon. The Steelbook Editions and the standard 4K Blu-ray also come with the new MCU movie on Blu-ray and digital.
If you don’t need to watch The Fantastic Four in 4K, the standard Blu-ray edition is up for grabs for as low as $25–though there is a Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray with pop-up art for $30.

The steelbook case gels with the retro-futuristic trappings of the film with colorful character art against a muted backdrop. It almost looks like an advertisement for a classic sitcom. The front of the case features Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and H.E.R.B.I.E. (voiced by Matthew Wood). The back of the case includes headshots of the team in their normal human forms with Galactus (Ralph Ineson) looming overhead and Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) flying on her cosmic surfboard.
The Limited Edition Steelbook comes with 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs as well as a voucher to claim the digital edition from Movies Anywhere. The 4K disc supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. Audio formats for all 4K and Blu-ray editions include DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound and Dolby Digital 2.0. Subtitles are available in English, Spanish, and French.
All 4K and 1080p Blu-ray editions include several featurettes, a director audio commentary, and several other pieces of bonus content.

The Amazon-exclusive Steelbook Bundle has an alternate, comic book-inspired cover that is advertised as being magnetic. The back cover and interior artwork matches the standalone Steelbook Edition.
In addition to the alternate cover, this edition is bundled with a physical edition of the The Fantastic Four: First Steps #1, an official comic book based on the movie. You’ll also get five character art cards: Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, Human Torch, and H.E.R.B.I.E.
$30 | Walmart Exclusive
As usual for Marvel movies, Walmart has an exclusive 1080p Blu-ray edition of First Steps with pop-up art. The slipcover unfolds to create a 3D display of the superhero team in the FantastiCar.
The Pop-Up Edition costs five bucks more than the standard edition Blu-ray, and both versions come with a digital version of the film, too.
If you want to create a sprawling display of Marvel pop-up art, Walmart still has Pop-Up Editions of several other recent Marvel movies, including Deadpool and Wolverine, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: Brave New World.
