Though it's only a very brief clip, Joe and Anthony Russo have shared footage of some audience reactions to the mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First

Feige was speaking to the official Marvel website about The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is now in theaters. It’s the final piece of the puzzle before Avengers: Doomsday comes out in December 2026, and Feige confirmed that the home of the Fantastic Four won’t just play a role; it’ll be a central meeting spot for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Avengers: Doomsday stars Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, plus cast from Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts, like Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, and Joseph Quinn.

Fantastic Four' star Vanessa Kirby opened up about working with Robert Downey Jr. on the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday,' saying he does 'incredible work' in the film and 'is our leader' on set.

First Steps, I am convinced that Doctor Doom will be Avengers: Doomsday 's main character. The ending of The Fantastic Four: First Steps did not do much to actively set up Avengers: Doomsday, with the team remaining in their contained universe after defeating Galactus.

Fantastic Four' actress Vanessa Kirby talks up working with the Russo Brothers on 'Avengers: Doomsday' while in the middle of a pregnancy.

Someone's got to take charge of the two Avengers teams in their upcoming duology, just don't expect it to be Mister Fantastic.

A lot of people have had really high hopes for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in the build-up to its release. I have been feeling more cautious – even as someone who rates Avengers: Endgame as one of the few movies I'd give five stars to – but in principle it definitely looked set to deliver what I'd want from it.
