New Movies on Streaming This Week Include The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Splitsville, and Adulthood
Phase Six kicks off on video-on-demand as Marvel's new chapter debuts, with a mix of superhero, comedy, and indie titles arriving this week.
A wave of new releases hits streaming this week, led by The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the kickoff to Marvel's Phase Six. The film lands on video-on-demand (VOD) this week, joining a slate of new titles available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through cable providers.
Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps stars Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach voicing The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Human Torch. Set in the 1960s but within a parallel universe, the team is tasked with protecting Earth from Galatus, a cosmic threat capable of draining life energy. Ralph Ineson portrays Galatus.
Splitsville, a new romantic comedy from Michael Angelo Covino, co-starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona, centers on Ashley asking for a divorce; Carey seeks support from his best friend Paul and Paul's wife Julie. The twist comes when Carey learns that Paul and Julie’s happiness rests on an open marriage, turning relationships into chaos.
Adulthood, directed by Alex Winter, is a dark comedy about two siblings who discover a dead body in their parents' basement and are pulled into a criminal world they never wanted. Josh Gad and Kaya Scodelario star, with Billie Lourd, Anthony Carrigan and Winter among the supporting cast.
Beyond these titles, the streaming week offers a broad mix of films and TV titles available to rent or buy. Among titles listed for purchase are Haunted Wedding, Autumn at Apple Hill, Bodyguard of Lies, Death of a Ladies’ Man, The Cut (2025), Tura!, and more, illustrating the wide range of genres now available on demand across major platforms.
Industry watchers say these releases come as streaming catalogs are continually updated, with services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Starz, Acorn TV, BritBox, and Tubi regularly refreshing their lineups. The goal, in part, is to offer fans a steady cadence of new titles across superhero, comedy, and prestige-drama flavors, in a market defined by rapid access and variable availability.
As Phase Six unfolds, studios are experimenting with cross-genre stories and unconventional pairings, aiming to reach a broader audience online. Streaming platforms remain a primary avenue for discovery, with audiences often mixing series and films from different studios in a single watching session. The current week’s releases are positioned to appeal to longtime MCU fans, romance-comedy enthusiasts, and fans of offbeat, dark humor alike.
