A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surfaced, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment late in the film that connects directly to the post-credit scene from Thunderbolts/New Avengers. Shared on Instagram by Fandango, the image captures Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly floating in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.
Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that both characters are adorned in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they acquire post their initial space journey where they gain their superpowers. Additionally, a Fantastic Four logo is visible on what appears to be a door or airlock in the background.
This image suggests it is set later in the movie, after the Fantastic Four have cemented their status as heroes. Notably, this scene has not been featured in any trailers released so far.Previous glimpses of The Fantastic Four have primarily focused on terrestrial settings, showcasing the team grappling with the impending parenthood of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, all while facing the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized Galactus.
