The Fantastic Four: First Steps was an effort to get the Marvel Cinematic Universe on track and while the movie didn’t do numbers that could hold up against some of the studio’s bigger hits, the audience response seemed to have thought it was a stronger outing than some of the more recent projects. Now, Entertainment Weekly is sharing some exclusive details on the upcoming home video releases of the film. First Steps will be making its digital debut soon on September 25, but the physical media copies are due to hit retailers on October 14.
Some of the extras listed contain deleted scenes and making-of featurettes:

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), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) 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 Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis.
