Fantastic Four's Franklin Richards Meets Doctor Doom in Shocking Post-Credit Twist

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has just delivered a thrilling post-credit scene in the recently released film "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." The scene, which has already gone viral online, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of the MCU.

The post-credit sequence shows Sue Storm reading a book to her son, Franklin Richards, whose powers were teased in the new Fantastic Four film. As Sue briefly leaves the room, Franklin is seen interacting with a mysterious cloaked figure - Doctor Victor Von Doom. While it's unclear if the man behind the green hooded cape is indeed Robert Downey Jr.'s variant of the character, the scene has left fans speculating about the implications for the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" film, set for release in 2026.

The connection between the Fantastic Four and the Avengers' impending showdown with Doomsday has been confirmed, as the words "The Fantastic Four will return in Avengers: Doomsday" appear on the screen at the end of the scene. This suggests that the story will continue to unfold in the next Avengers installment, with the core cast members from "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" set to reprise their roles.

As Marvel fans eagerly await the release of "Avengers: Doomsday" and its follow-up, "Avengers: Secret Wars," the post-credit scene from "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" has undoubtedly set the stage for an epic showdown between the heroes and the villainous Doctor Doom.
