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 in Thunderbolts*/New Avengers. The image, shared on Instagram by Fandango, captures Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly floating in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.
Eagle-eyed fans have observed that both characters are donning their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they only obtain after their initial journey into space that grants them their superpowers. Additionally, a Fantastic Four logo is visible on what appears to be a door or airlock in the background.
This image suggests a scene from later in the movie, after the Fantastic Four have established themselves as heroes. Interestingly, this particular scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far.The trailers for The Fantastic Four have primarily focused on events set on Earth, showcasing the team's dynamics as Reed Richards and Sue Storm prepare for parenthood amidst the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized Galactus.
