The newly released photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps provides an intriguing glimpse into a later part of the film, connecting it directly to the post-credit scene from Thunderbolts*/New Avengers. The image, shared by Fandango on Instagram, captures Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly floating in zero gravity. This detail was highlighted by Cinema Blend, adding to the excitement surrounding the film.
In the photo, both characters are sporting their iconic Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire following their initial journey into space where they gain their superpowers. Additionally, a Fantastic Four logo is visible on what appears to be a door or airlock in the background, further confirming the setting.
This image suggests a scene that occurs later in the movie, after the Fantastic Four have established themselves as heroes. Notably, this scene has not been featured in any of the film's trailers to date. The trailers have primarily focused on events set on Earth, showcasing the team's dynamics as they navigate the impending arrival of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus, and the personal milestone of Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing to become parents.
