Russo Brothers Have Directed The Post-Credit Scene In The Fantastic Four: First Steps! Director Matt Shakman Reveals, “They Were Very Involved”

As the release of Fantastic Four: First Steps inches closer, the fans are excited to witness to the biggest fight of the decade – Fantastic Four vs Galactus. Adding to the thrill, director Matt Shakman recently revealed in an interview that the powerhouse director duo Joe and Anthony Russo, have taken charge of a key post-credit scene in the film.

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. 

Set in a sleek 1960s-inspired, retro‑futuristic world, First Steps follows the Fantastic Four as they try to thwart the planet-devouring threat of Galactus. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film features Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn and written by Josh Friedman, Cam Squires, and Eric Pearson, the film premieres in theaters July 25, 2025 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
