Spoilers for the fate of the Fantastic Four and beyond!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is officially in movie theaters worldwide, introducing us to Marvel’s versions of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn). Like this summer’s other big superhero movie, The Fantastic Four leans fully into the optimism that defined early comic books. The Fantastic Four: First Steps embraces goofy characters like Mole Man (Paul Walter Hauser) and H.E.R.B.I.E. while giving us a moving story about a family tested like never before.
But does the new Fantastic Four movie have an end credits scene? Does Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom make a post credits debut ahead of next winter’s Avengers: Doomsday? What’s going on with baby Franklin Richards? And do you really have to sit through all of the credits at the end of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps?
Here’s everything you need to know about The Fantastic Four end credits….
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an MCU movie, so of course you’ve got to stick around for a treat after the credits roll.
There are actually two post credits scenes. The mid credits scene takes place four years after the events of Fantastic Four and sets up Doomsday. The end credits scene is more of a fun Easter egg for hardcore fans.
If you sit all the way through all of The Fantastic Four: First Steps credits, you’ll get to see the animated opening credits for the in-universe Fantastic Four cartoon. (You’ll also get to hear a haunting folk song co-written by composers Michael Giacchino and Andrea Datzman from the POV of one of the Galactus cult followers.)
However, the scene everyone will really be talking about is the Fantastic Four mid-credits scene…
So does RDJ’s Doctor Doom pop up in the new Fantastic Four movie? Well, sort of.
