A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has emerged, offering a glimpse into a scene that appears to connect directly with 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 suspended in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.
The photo reveals both characters adorned in their iconic Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire following their transformative 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, suggesting that this moment occurs later in the film, after the team has solidified their heroic status.
This particular scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far, which have mainly focused on the team's adventures on Earth. These trailers have highlighted the impending parenthood of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, set against the backdrop of the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus.
