Why Fantastic Four: the first steps do not face the post-Credit scene, according to the director, according to the director

Marvel fans like to connect the points between MCU films, especially when those post-cried attractive scenes drop suggestions for what is others. So when Fantastic Four: first steps landed in cinemas and has not touched the great revelation from ThunderboltsEnd, fans wondered understandably why.

There have been a couple of times in the whole film I thought we would have seen the connection, but it never happened. Now, director Matt Shakman It offers a clear and honest explanation.

In a recent chat with CinemaBlend, Shakman explained why the return of the big screen of the Fantastic Four did not recognize the events made around at the end oF Thunderbolts. The reason? He simply didn’t know when he made his story. He said:

“No, no, no, because the Thunderbolts credit scene was also created, you know, relatively late in my process, so it was not something I knew because it was not created at the moment I was working on my script, you know?”

THE Thunderbolts The post-Credito moment takes place more than a year after the main events of that film, with the “new avengers” renamed and Bob who discover a strange extra-dimensional space vehicle in space … The Excelsior.

For many fans, this was the cinematographic hands between Thunderbolts AND First steps. But Shakman’s film, which published two months later, does not mention it.

Instead, First steps It has its two post-cried scenes that focus more intimately on its central characters and make fun of future stories in its corner of the Marvel universe.

The Mid-Credits scene shows Vanessa KirbyHis Storm who enters his son Franklin, who is communicating with Victor von Doom.

Shakman stressed that storytelling in the MCU is in constant evolution and compared it to a team sport. “It’s a relay race,” he said, explaining how he passed the witness to the Russian brothers, who are destined to direct Avengers: Doomsday.

So while the first steps may not connect the cosmic points ThunderboltsIt is clear that those pieces are placed on multiple films and the real payoff is still coming.
