What The Fantastic Four: First Steps End Credits Mean For Marvel And Doctor Doom's Future
Last Updated: The Fantastic Four: First Steps marks the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm aka the Thing. Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces fans to a new superhero team while teasing major threats that lie ahead. The film marks the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm aka the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). By the end, the movie also lays the foundation for one of the franchise's most feared villains yet. The story revolves around the team's battle against the planet-consuming Galactus. However, the biggest jaw-dropping moment comes in the final moments and mid-credits scenes. Who Is Franklin Richards? In this reboot, the Fantastic Four already have their powers and a young son, Franklin, when the film begins. The child plays a key role in the story with Galactus arriving on Earth and demanding Franklin in exchange for sparing the planet. It is soon revealed that Franklin possesses the 'Power Cosmic," which makes him a being of immense strength. It is possible that Galactus eyes the baby as his successor. After a global effort fails to move Earth out of danger, the team lures Galactus to New York. Sue Storm manages to trap the villain in a wormhole using her powers, but he begins to break free. Shalla-Bal (Julia Garner), the Silver Surfer, sacrifices herself to stop him and save the planet. Sue is briefly believed to be dead, but Franklin brings her back using his abilities. Post-Credit Scene Hints At Doctor Doom The film features two scenes after the main story. The first is a short animated clip from a fictional Fantastic Four show. But the more significant moment comes in the mid-credits. Set four years after the events of the film, the scene shows Sue reading to young Franklin. When she steps away to find another book, she returns to see a hooded man standing near her son. He is holding a silver mask. The background score shifts to a theme titled 'Doom?" This hints at the arrival of Doctor Doom, one of Marvel's most iconic villains. Doctor Doom To Appear In Avengers: Doomsday Though he isn't fully revealed in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the figure is confirmed to be Doctor Doom, who will be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in Avengers: Doomsday. The movie, releasing in December 2026, will mark the character's full introduction into the MCU. All four members of the Fantastic Four – Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, are expected to return in Doomsday, which is likely to lead directly into Avengers: Secret Wars the following year.

'3BHK' OTT release date out: When and where to watch emotional Tamil drama?
Marking his 40th outing in cinema, actor Siddharth headlined 3BHK, a moving coming-of-age drama both penned and helmed by filmmaker Sri Ganesh. The project was inspired by 3BHK Veedu, a short story written by Aravindh Sachidanandan. The movie premiered in theatres across Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh on July 4, 2025, in both Tamil and Telugu versions. While initial critical reactions were mixed, the film earned appreciation for its touching depiction of Indian middle-class family aspirations. As per media outlets, the film is scheduled for release on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video by mid-August 2025. 3BHK is Sri Ganesh's third feature following his earlier directorial efforts, 8 Thottakkal and Kuruthi Aattam. Produced under the Shanti Talkies banner by Arun Viswa, the film centers on a modest, lower-middle-income family and their decades-long journey toward home ownership. Spanning 20 years, the narrative reflects on the emotional, financial, and social sacrifices made in pursuit of a dream many Indian families can relate to.

Vasudevan's sole ambition is to accumulate enough savings to purchase a permanent residence for his family. However, time and again, life throws obstacles in his path. Whether it's paying for Prabhu's engineering education, attending to sudden medical issues, or covering Aarthi's marriage expenses, his goal remains constantly just out of reach. The emotional tension revolves around whether this family can finally claim a space of their own. Siddharth delivers a restrained and powerful performance as Prabhu, convincingly evolving from a restless teenager into a mature adult grappling with responsibility and reality. The film's production was largely based in Chennai, and Amrit Ramnath composed the soulful music that underscores the emotional beats of the narrative. Dinesh B. Krishnan and Jithin Stanislaus contributed to the visual storytelling as cinematographers, while editor Gamesh Shiva shaped the film into a 2-hour-20-minute final cut. Earlier in the year, Siddharth appeared in Test, a direct-to-digital feature alongside R. Madhavan and Nayanthara. With 3BHK, he brings yet another emotionally rich character to life, anchoring a film that resonates deeply with audiences seeking stories grounded in everyday Indian realities.

Jessica Alba-Danny Ramirez dating? Who is he, what we know about their relationship
Jessica Alba seems to be enjoying single life, though that may not remain true for the actor for much longer! She has been spotted with Danny Ramirez on quite a few occasions, sending tongues wagging in Hollywood circles. Earlier in July 2025, news surfaced that Jessica Alba had traveled to Cancun with Danny Ramirez.(AFP) The Trigger Warning actor is getting out of a marriage that lasted almost two decades. Alba filed for divorce from Cash Warren on February 7, this year, and the two had tied the knot back in May 2008. The 44-year-old has three children with Warren – daughters Honor and Haven, and son Hayes. Alba was recently seen in a car with Ramirez after a dinner outing in Los Angeles, with the actor sporting a black top, and her companion going for a light-wash denim jacket with a gray baseball cap. Who is Danny Ramirez? Danny Ramirez, 32, is an American actor who plays Joaquin Torres or Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Captain America: Brave New World. He essays the same role in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Ramirez has also appeared in Top Gun: Maverick and HBO's The Last of Us. Interestingly, Alba too played a Marvel character, when she was seen as Sue Storm or Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four, but at that time, the franchise was not with Disney. Are Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez dating? Alba and Ramirez's many outings would seem to suggest that the two are dating. Apart from the People report that they were spotted after dinner in a car together, TMZ also reported that Alba was seen kissing Ramirez outside his Los Angeles home. Earlier this month, a source had told People things were 'very new' between the two and 'they're having a good time together.' TMZ also reported that Alba had gone to Cancun with Ramirez, and at the time, a source close to the actor said 'She's been getting a lot of attention since the divorce.' 'She's flattered and definitely enjoying being single again, She's gone on some dates, but it's nothing serious — she's focused on herself and her kids. She's not interested in a relationship right now," the source added. Despite what the source is saying, TMZ obtained video also which showed Alba and Ramirez carrying a massive potted orchid plant, which has raised questions of whether the two are interior decorating together, perhaps signaling a new step in the relationship. On the work front, Alba will star alongside Orlando Bloom, for a thriller titled The Mark, which will begin filming in Australia this month.
