Fantastic Four Image Suggests Links to Thunderbolts and New Avengers, Sparking Fan Theories

A recent photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps appears to depict a scene late in the film, potentially connecting to the post-credit sequence of Thunderbolts*/New Avengers.

Shared on Instagram by Fandango, the image shows Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly in zero gravity (credit to Cinema Blend).

Fans note that both characters wear Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, acquired only after their initial space mission where they gain their powers. A Fantastic Four logo is visible on what seems to be a door or airlock in the background.

This image likely originates from a later point in the film, after the Fantastic Four are established as heroes. It also appears to be a scene not yet revealed in trailers.

Previous glimpses of The Fantastic Four have focused on Earth-based events, with Reed Richards and Sue Storm preparing for parenthood as the massive Galactus arrives.
