While speaking to Comic Book Movie, Matt Shakman explained, “Working at Marvel is like running a relay race — you pass the baton… I passed it on to Joe and Anthony and they’re off and running. They were very involved and as we were making this film, they wanted to visit our sets and watch scenes as they were coming together and get to know these characters so they could treat them well, do right by them in the next movie." 



The scene filmed concurrently with the Avengers: Doomsday shoot teases the Fantastic Four’s integration into the main MCU timeline, hinting at their debut alongside the Avengers and setting the stage for a major confrontation. 

The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. The action-adventure also stars Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is directed by Matt Shakman. 

The trailer begins by revealing that they have already acquired their powers from a space mission, with ordinary citizens expressing their gratitude towards the team. On the personal side, Reed and Sue are shown to be expecting a child, hinting at the introduction of Franklin Richards, a character known in the comics for his reality-warping abilities. ​
