Fantastic Four: First Steps Post-Credit Scenes Explained: How Many and What They Reveal

Marvel’s latest entry in the MCU, Fantastic Four: First Steps, is a big step for Disney and Marvel, with the MCU finally adding in ‘Marvel’s First Family.’ This is also the fourth attempt at a Fantastic Four film, and the start of the Sixth Phase of the MCU.

There are MARKED SPOILERS in this article below. But I’m here first to tell you how many after-credit scenes there are and whether they’re worth staying for in the cinema or skipping to dodge the traffic and get home.

HOW MANY AFTER-CREDITS SCENES DOES FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS CONTAIN? 

Fantastic Four: First Steps contains two after-credit scenes: one that plays after the film’s title sequence and another at the very end of the credits.

ARE THEY WORTH STICKING AROUND TO WATCH?

The first one is worth sticking around for to see a tease of what’s to come in the future of the MCU. While sitting through to the end of the credits will give you a funny little sequence, it’s nothing you’ll regret missing if you need to leave the cinema quickly.

AFTER-CREDITS SCENES EXPLAINED

[learn_more caption=”SPOILERS HERE”] The first post-credits scene jumps ahead four years after the end of the film and sees Sue reading a book to Franklin on the coach in the Fantastic Four’s home. She disappears for a moment to grab another book and comes back to find Doctor Doom sitting down, holding his mask in one hand, seemingly talking to Franklin. With his arm outstretched, Franklin appears to be reaching in to touch his face as well. The scene plays out like it could be in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film.

The second after-credits scene is a brief gag featuring the intro to the animated Fantastic Four cartoon, which is mentioned in the movie, playing on-screen before H.E.R.B.I.E. reaches in and turns the knob to shut off the screen.[/learn_more]
