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

A new image from "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" has emerged, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment from the film. Shared on Instagram by Fandango, the photo features Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm in a futuristic setting, seemingly floating in zero gravity, as noted by Cinema Blend.

The characters are depicted wearing their iconic Fantastic Four-branded spacesuits, which they acquire after their transformative journey into space where they gain their superpowers. The image also includes a visible Fantastic Four logo on what appears to be a door or airlock in the background.

This scene suggests it takes place later in the movie, after the Fantastic Four have solidified their status as heroes. Interestingly, this particular scene has not been featured in any of the film's trailers to date. Previous glimpses of "The Fantastic Four" have largely 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 villain, Galactus.
