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

A new photo from "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" has surfaced, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment that connects to the post-credit scene in "Thunderbolts*/New Avengers." The image, shared on Instagram by Fandango, captures Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly floating in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.

Eagle-eyed fans have observed that both characters are donned in their Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire post their initial space journey where they gain their superpowers. The background features a door or airlock adorned with the Fantastic Four logo, indicating that this scene occurs later in the film, after the team has established themselves as heroes. This particular scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far.

Up to this point, the glimpses we've had of "The Fantastic Four" have been 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 Galactus.
