New movies and TV on Netflix in September, including ‘the best film of 2024’

Following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival a year ago, the Azalea Jacobs-directed His Three Daughters will be available to stream with a Netflix subscription later this month. This 2024 movie release stars Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne, all of whom are also among the Marvel Cinematic Universe talents. In Lyonne’s case, we won’t see her in the franchise until The Fantastic Four: First Steps is released in summer 2025, but Olsen is confident that the Russian Doll actress will be able to navigate this superhero franchise with ease.

WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen has explained why she didn’t find it necessary to offer her His Three Daughters co-star Natasha Lyonne any advice for her first MCU role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Orange is the New Black and Russian Doll star Natasha Lyonne recently boarded the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in a mystery role. She’ll next be seen alongside MCU vet Elizabeth Olsen in Netflix’s His Three Daughters, but did the Scarlet Witch actor offer her co-star any advice? 

Talking to Total Film, Olsen explained why she didn’t find that necessary. 

“No, she needs no advice,” the WandaVision star admitted. “She can handle her own in the world. She’s a very tough broad. She knows she can navigate any situation, I think.”

“She’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met,” Carrie Coon, who played Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and What If…? chimed in to say. 

Lyonne is also no stranger to superhero movies after previously playing Sommerfield, a member of the Nightstalkers, in Blade: Trinity.

“It’s funny when you are the writer, the creator, the director and the star and you have 13 nominations or whatever, and it’s not like, ‘Here’s a bunch of Marvel movies,'” Lyonne said last year of the impact Russian Doll‘s success has had on her career. “In fact, they’re like, ‘Oh, now we see you as potentially intimidating.'”

“I don’t even mean anything to Marvel,” she added. “And it can be unintentional. I think a lot of it is people trying to be generous, almost saying, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you’d want to do that kind of thing. Like, you created ‘PEN15,’ why would you want to…’ And I don’t know those ladies personally, but I don’t suddenly see them on billboards all over the city for rom-coms or whatever.”

Lyonne’s role remains a mystery to us, though many fans are convinced she’s either playing H.E.R.B.I.E. or Alicia Masters. Nothing has been confirmed as we write this, so we’ll just have to wait and see. 

Marvel Studios has announced that Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) will lead The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast.

We’ll also see Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer, and Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, and Natasha Lyonne in mystery roles. The story sees Galactus and Silver Surfer target Earth for destruction. 

Director Matt Shakman worked with both Avatar: The Way of Water co-writer Josh Friedman and WandaVision‘s Cam Squires on The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ screenplay, with Eric Pearson (Black Widow) later coming on board for a final polish.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 25, 2025.

Understandably, many actors think twice before joining a franchise as huge as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, even amid seemingly endless talk of “superhero fatigue,” some realise that getting into business with Marvel Studios can be a wise career move. 

While Olsen and Coon, who have respectively played Scarlet Witch and Proxima Midnight in the MCU, were chatting with GamesRadar+ about His Three Daughters, the former was asked if she had any guidance for Lyonne following her casting in the newest Fantastic Four reboot. She responded:

No, she needs no advice. She can handle her own in the world. She’s a very tough broad. She knows she can navigate any situation, I think.

Carrie Coon added that Natasha Lyonne is “one of the smartest people I’ve ever met,” so she’s also confident that her co-star on this upcoming Netflix movie won’t have any trouble with being part of the MCU. Lyonne was reported to be part of The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast back in may, though who she’s playing remains a mystery. This will be her second superhero movie, having previously voiced Merton in DC League of Super Pets.

Natasha Lyonne’s costars in First Steps include Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, Ralph Ineson as Galactus and Julia Garner as a female version of The Silver Surfer. Like Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich have also been cast in undisclosed roles. Additionally, it’s rumored that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will cameo in First Steps before taking center stage as the lead antagonist for the upcoming Marvel movies Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Specific plot details for The Fantastic Four:

First Steps remain under wraps aside from the fact that the movie will take place on a different Earth in the Marvel multiverse rather than the main MCU reality and that Galactus will, of course, want to devour said Earth.

Whatever goes down in this movie, the core quartet of protagonists will be back for Doomsday and Secret Wars, no doubt to help the other MCU heroes battle Victor von Doom.

 First Steps is directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shankman, and Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer, Josh Friedman, Cameron Squires, Eric Pearson, and Peter Cameron all worked on the script.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens in theaters on July 25, 2025, but hopefully we’ll learn who Natasha Lyonne is playing in it long beforehand. Break out your Disney+ subscription if you now have a hankering to go through the Marvel movies in order or any of the MCU’s TV shows.
