"Fantastic Four Photo Hints at Thunderbolts/New Avengers Connection, Fans Speculate"

Authore: EmmaUpdate:May 23,2025

A newly released photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps offers a glimpse into a pivotal scene that appears to connect directly to the post-credit sequence of 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, zero-gravity environment.

Eagle-eyed fans have noted that both characters are clad in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they obtain after their initial space journey that grants them their powers. Additionally, the background features a door or airlock adorned with the Fantastic Four logo, further emphasizing the setting's significance.

This particular image suggests it is from a later part of the film, after the Fantastic Four have solidified their status as heroes. Interestingly, this scene has not been featured in any of the movie's trailers, which have primarily focused on the team's Earth-bound adventures, including the impending parenthood of Reed Richards and Sue Storm amidst the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus.
