Fantastic Four Photo Hints at Thunderbolts/New Avengers Connection
A newly released photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps hints at a significant moment towards the end of the film, directly connecting to the post-credit scene in Thunderbolts/New Avengers*. Shared by Fandango on Instagram, the image showcases Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, appearing to float in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.
In the photo, both characters are seen donning their Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire post their initial space journey where they gain their superpowers. Additionally, a Fantastic Four logo is visible on what seems to be a door or airlock in the background.
This image suggests a scene from later in the movie, after the Fantastic Four have established themselves as heroes. Interestingly, this scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far. The glimpses we've seen of The Fantastic Four have been primarily set on Earth, focusing on the team's dynamics as Reed Richards and Sue Storm prepare for parenthood amidst the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus.
