A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surfaced, hinting at a pivotal scene that connects to the post-credit sequence in 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, zero-gravity environment, as noted by Cinema Blend.
In the photo, both characters are dressed in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they obtain post their initial space journey where they acquire their superpowers. The background features a door or airlock adorned with the Fantastic Four logo, suggesting that this moment occurs later in the film, after the team has established themselves as superheroes.
This particular scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far, which have mainly focused on the team's terrestrial adventures and the impending arrival of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus. Additionally, the trailers have highlighted the personal subplot of Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing for parenthood.
