Fantastic Four Photo Spurs Thunderbolts/Avengers Rumors

A newly revealed image from The Fantastic Four: First Steps appears to depict a pivotal late-film moment connecting to Thunderbolts*/New Avengers' post-credit scene.

The photo, shared by Fandango on Instagram, showcases Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic environment — seemingly experiencing zero gravity (via Cinema Blend).

Spacesuits Confirm Later Timeline

Observant fans noted both characters are wearing their official Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they only obtain after their initial space mission grants them superpowers. The background also features what appears to be a door or airlock bearing the Fantastic Four emblem.

This confirms the scene occurs later in the film after the team's superhero origin story. Notably, this moment hasn't appeared in any trailers released thus far.

Previous teases for The Fantastic Four predominantly showed Earth-based sequences focusing on Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing for parenthood — just as the colossal Galactus makes his approach.
