Avengers: Doomsday Theory Connects Thunderbolts*' Fantastic Four Scene to Doctor Strange 2
A recent fan theory suggests that the post-credits scene featuring the Fantastic Four ship is connected to Doctor Strange 2. The Fantastic Four are set to debut in the MCU, with The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming to theaters in July 2025. The Thunderbolts* post-credits scene generated much hype for the upcoming movie, setting the stage for Marvel's first family's arrival.
According to a social media user, the Fantastic Four ship in the Thunderbolts* post-credits scene could be from Earth-838. It was shown in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The user @Comicodigy posted the fan theory on their X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts. They asserted, 'THEORY: What If the ship from the Thunderbolts credit scene is actually the other members of the Fantastic 4 from Earth 838 coming to Earth 616 after the events of Multiverse Of Madness.'
Comicodigy stated that the ship could belong to the team of John Krasinski's Reed Richards. His version of the character was last seen in Doctor Strange 2. However, Krasinski's Mister Fantastic was killed in the 2022 movie by the Scarlet Witch. This has urged some fans to also believe that the theory isn't strong.
The user came up with the theory after Kevin Feige addressed the Thunderbolts* post-credits scene. SuperHeroHype previously reported that the Marvel Studios head suggested in an interview with Empire that the Fantastic Four ship at the end of Thunderbolts* might not be the one belonging to Pedro Pascal's Reed and his family. He stated, 'Their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU … But I'm not sure they're the same ship.'
This has led to fans engaging in discussions based on this theory. However, the answer will only be provided once Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25, 2025.
