The release, which follows Marvel Studios' recent practice of diving into grittier storytelling and intricate character arcs, occurs about two months after the movie's May 2 theatrical opening.

"Not something my character future entails": Pedro Pascal on Reed Richards reportedly leading Avengers in 'Doomsday'
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal, who played one of the lead roles in the recently released ' First Steps'. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, is not the new leader of the Avengers, according to actor Pedro Pascal , who played one of the lead roles in the recently released 'Fantastic Four: First Steps'. According to an interview given by the 'Fantastic Four' director Matt Shakman to Variety earlier this month, which went viral for seemingly revealing that Pascal's superhero would be going on to lead the Avengers. It wasn't a far-fetched possibility for fans, as Pascal and his 'Fantastic Four' co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are all returning for next year's 'Avengers: Doomsday.' But Shakman's comment was a bit of a misdirection, according to Pascal. Speaking to the Associated Press, as quoted by Variety, the 'Last of Us' and 'Mandalorian' actor believes that Matt Shakman was referencing a comic book storyline in which Reed Richards was asked to take the leadership position in the Avengers. However, he believes that the director's words were misinterpreted by MCU fans. "It's big news to me, that's for one. I think Matt Shakman was doing an interview, and when he was speaking about Reed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo There is something that happens in the comics where he is sort of drawn in by the Avengers family and asked to be put into a leadership position. That is something that happens in the comics. It isn't necessarily something that my character's future entails," said Pascal as quoted by Variety. Pascal then stressed, "I am being honest in that. I am not even trying to avoid spoilers. It's a little bit of a mislead," as quoted by Variety. Shakman and Pascal have known each other for years and had the same talent manager at the beginning of their careers. Pascal told Variety that "coming together for 'Fantastic Four' felt absolutely fated in the stars." None of the four actors who played the Fantastic Four had traditional auditions for the movie. Instead, they were all cast after a meeting with Shakman. There were no chemistry tests either, although the group had three weeks of rehearsals before filming started, as reported by Variety. "We approached the story dramaturgically as you would a play, before we got on our feet with anything. It was Matt setting up the circumstances to be together as a cast and flesh out a language that bonded each of us together as a family," said Pedro Pascal, as quoted by Variety. 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is now playing in theatres nationwide.

Fantastic Four post-credits scene was directed by Russo brothers on Avengers Doomsday set, director Matt Shakman reveals
WARNING: This article contains spoilers to Marvel's The Fantastic Four First Steps and Avengers Doomsday. Last year, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were over the moon when it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the Avengers franchise. After an iconic run as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Downey Jr. was set to star in the new Russo Brothers film Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release in 2026. The viral-post-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces his character, the villainous Doctor Doom. His original character, Tony Stark, famously died in Avengers: Endgame. When Entertainment Weekly asked Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman if Downey Jr had filmed the post-credits scene, he played coy. 'For others to talk about,' he teased. Shakman did, however, confirm that the Russo brothers directed the scene, as it was shot during the production of Avengers: Doomsday. 'The Russos did end up directing that (Thunderbolts) post-credits scene, and they also did the one for this movie as well,' Shakman explained. 'Just because they were done during the production of Avengers: Doomsday. You've got all those actors there, you've got those sets there, it just makes sense.' The post-credits scene takes place four years after Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) saved their world from Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Also Read | Robert Downey Jr. bulks up for Doctor Doom for Avengers Doomsday, gives a shout-out to co-star Hawkeye aka Jeremy Renner Inside the Baxter Building, all appears calm as Sue reads a children's book to her four-year-old son, Franklin. When Franklin asks for another story, their robot helper H.E.R.B.I.E. recommends Darwin's Origin of Species. Sue thinks the book might be too advanced and goes to fetch a lighter one. Upon her return, she finds Doctor Doom kneeling before Franklin, mask in hand, an ominous sign that another powerful cosmic figure is introducing himself to the world's most powerful mutant. While this scene sets the stage for Avengers: Doomsday, Shakman declined to reveal what role Franklin might play in the upcoming blockbuster. He did, however, shed light on why Doctor Doom was reserved for the post-credits scene. 'That's one of the things that other movies have done, they've often used Doctor Doom,' Shakman said. 'Doctor Doom is an amazing character, and he's coming, as we all know. For us, it felt like, let's start where you can focus on these four amazing characters, Galactus is awesome too, but he's a giant cosmic threat, he's unknowable, and save Doom for a little later.'
