A newly released still from "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" appears to depict a pivotal moment late in the film, potentially connecting to a post-credits scene featured in "Thunderbolts*/New Avengers."
The image, shared on Instagram by Fandango, showcases Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm within a futuristic setting. Both characters seem to be floating in a zero-gravity environment, as noted by Cinema Blend.
Observant fans have highlighted that both heroes are already adorned in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits. These uniforms are typically acquired only *after* their initial, fateful space mission where they gain their powers. In the background, a Fantastic Four emblem can be seen on what looks like a sealed door or airlock.
This suggests the scene is from the latter part of the movie, after the Fantastic Four have fully embraced their heroic identities. It also seems to be from a sequence not yet revealed in any official trailers.
Indeed, promotional material released thus far has primarily focused on Earth-based events. The storyline has centered on Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing for parenthood, just as the planet faces the arrival of the colossal entity, Galactus.
