'Fantastic Four' Post-Credits Scene Directed by Different Filmmaker — Full Details Leak Online
The footage makes a lot of sense.
An unexpected twist in the new Fantastic Four: it turns out that director Matt Shakman had nothing to do with the post-credits scene. A completely different director worked on it.
And not just one: the episode was created by Anthony and Joe Russo. The brothers are responsible for the Avengers franchise and are currently working on Doomsday.
Post-credits scene in Fantastic Four
The creator of the film Matt Shakman revealed an interesting detail. It turned out that the iconic post-credits scene was not done by him, but by the famous Russo brothers.
Although Shakman carefully avoided spoilers, he spoke warmly about his colleagues.
They were very involved and as we were making this film, they wanted to visit our sets and watch scenes as they were coming together and get to know these characters so they could treat them well, do right by them in the next movie. They’re really good protectors of these characters as well. I often think of working at Marvel as like running a relay race. You pass the baton, you run as hard and fast as you can with it for that section of the race that belongs to you, and then you pass that baton. I passed it on to Joe and Anthony and they’re off and running, and that’s great.” he emphasized in an interview with Comic Book.
Possible plot of the scene
The Russo brothers have already made a post-credits scene for Thunderbolts*, where the Fantastic Four appeared. Now the authors have worked on the last frames of the new premiere.
According to rumors "leaked" to the Internet, in the scene in Fantastic Four: First Steps, Sue Storm reads a fairy tale to little Franklin - her son with Mister Fantastic. But when she briefly steps away and returns, the mysterious figure of Doctor Doom appears next to the child.
This moment will clearly connect the storylines with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, where different teams will have to unite against a common enemy. For now, fans can only guess how exactly the events will unfold.
The answers will appear on July 25, when Fantastic Four hits theaters. And we will see the culmination of this story on May 1, 2026, in the new Avengers film.
