A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surfaced, showcasing a pivotal moment that ties directly into the post-credit scene of Thunderbolts/New Avengers*. The image, shared on Instagram by Fandango, captures Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm in a futuristic, zero-gravity setting, as noted by Cinema Blend.
Eagle-eyed fans have observed that both characters are donned in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they acquire post their initial space journey where they gain their superpowers. Additionally, the background features a door or airlock adorned with the Fantastic Four logo, suggesting this scene occurs later in the film, after the team has solidified their heroic status.
This particular image, not yet seen in any trailers, hints at a scene set off-planet, contrasting the Earth-bound glimpses we've had so far. These earlier scenes focused on the team grappling with the impending parenthood of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, all while bracing for the arrival of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus.
