A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surfaced, offering fans a glimpse into a pivotal moment that ties directly into the post-credit scene of Thunderbolts*/New Avengers. The image, shared on Instagram by Fandango, 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 clad in their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they don as a result of their initial journey into space where they acquire their superpowers. The presence of the Fantastic Four logo on what seems to be a door or airlock in the background further confirms that this scene is set later in the film, after the team has established themselves as heroes. Interestingly, this particular scene has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far.
To date, the trailers for The Fantastic Four have primarily focused on scenes set on Earth, highlighting the team's personal dynamics, such as Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing for parenthood, amidst the looming threat of the skyscraper-sized Galactus.
