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

A new photo from The Fantastic Four: First Steps has surfaced, hinting at a pivotal moment that connects to the post-credit scene in 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, zero-gravity environment, as noted by Cinema Blend.

The characters are seen donning their iconic Fantastic Four spacesuits, which they only acquire post their transformative journey into space where they gain their superpowers. The background features a door or airlock adorned with the Fantastic Four logo, suggesting this scene occurs later in the film, after the team has established themselves as heroes.

Interestingly, this image appears to depict a scene that has not been featured in any of the trailers released so far. Previous glimpses 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.
