A newly released photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a pivotal moment towards the end of the film that ties into the post-credit scene 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 setting, appearing to float in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.
In the photo, both characters are seen wearing their iconic Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire post their transformative journey into space where they gain their superpowers. The presence of a Fantastic Four logo on what seems to be a door or airlock in the background further suggests that this scene is set later in the movie, after the team has established themselves as heroes.
This particular image appears to depict a moment not yet revealed in any of the film's trailers, which have mainly focused on Earth-bound scenes. These scenes showcase the team grappling with the impending arrival of the skyscraper-sized villain, Galactus, amidst the personal milestone of Reed Richards and Sue Storm expecting a child.
