Last week, it was reported that Chris Evans was meant to be in a post-credits scene for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Now, we have a broader understanding of why.
Why was The Fantastic Four: First Step’s original post-credits scene cut?
Last week, insider MyTimeToShine revealed that the original post-credits scene in First Steps would’ve seen the Fantastic Four visiting Steve Rogers at his home on Earth, and asking him to help with a problem, with the reference being some sort of multiversal incursion issue.
As of now, it’s been reported that the scene is now included in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. According to fellow insider Nerd Tower in a post on X, the reason the post-credits scene was cut was because Marvel was unsure if audiences would understand what was happening. Following the films release and subsequent teaser trailers for Doomsday, though, it now makes more sense why Rogers is involved.
Foi filmada e muito possivelmente está em Doomsday, foi cortada pois o medo é que o público não iria entender absolutamente nada. (De fato não iria dar certo). Esperar um ano e meio sem contexto ia ser foda e uma pertubação. https://t.co/n19botYNfF— Nerd Tower (@NerdTowerYT) February 23, 2026
Currently, it remains mostly unknown just what the story of Avengers: Doomsday will include. So far, the movie features a massive, star-studded cast, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.
Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.
