Marvel gives one of its most beloved superhero teams another cinematic reboot in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Directed by Matt Shakman, the film is the second reboot of the Fantastic Four and serves as the opening salvo for Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will conclude with Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
This time around, Pedro Pascal takes on the role of Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, alongside Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm.
Other cast members include Julia Garner, Ralph Ineson, Sarah Niles, Mark Gatiss, Natasha Lyonne and Paul Walter Hauser.
Are there post-credit scenes in The Fantastic Four: First Steps?
Like almost every Marvel film before it, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has two post-credit scenes. The first (and most important) is after the stylised mid-credit sequence, while the second comes after the subsequent credit crawl.
If you want to avoid spoilers of what the scenes involve, turn away now.
What happens in the post-credit scenes?
In the first scene, we catch up with Sue Storm and baby Franklin four years after the showdown with Galactus. They’re seen reading a book together at home, before Sue steps away to find another book for them to read.
Sue is alerted by a noise where Franklin is sitting, and as she walks back slowly towards her son, we see Franklin is no longer alone. A hooded figure clutching a silver mask in his hand is standing over him, which is Victor Von Doom.
We don’t see Doom’s face but Robert Downey Jr. is set to play the classic Fantastic Four villain in Avengers: Doomsday.
The second post-credit scene is slightly less dramatic and shows the opening sequence of the in-universe Fantastic Four cartoon. The scene ends with robot H.E.R.B.I.E. switching off the TV.
