BURBANK, Calif. (August 7, 2025) – In collaboration with Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), The Walt Disney Company surprised thousands of Sailors, as well as other military Service members, with special screenings of Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” These screenings are a part of the Navy’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Navy Motion Picture Service program which brings movies to Sailors and their families at home and abroad.

Military Service members stationed at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, were introduced to the Marvel Studios’ First Family during showings from Wednesday, July 23, through Sunday, July 27, that included special greetings recorded by Executive Producer Grant Curtis from Marvel Studios.

To bring the film to Service members, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” traveled to Djibouti under the highest security. The disk that contained the film could only be unlocked with a special pin and was delivered by Jessica Moore, Vice President of Government Relations at The Walt Disney Company.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, “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. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige, p.g.a., and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis, Tim Lewis and Robert Kulzer.
