Thunderbolts Post-Credits Scene Shatters Fantastic Four Ending Theory—Galactus Twist Revealed

A subtle element from the end scene of Thunderbolts might overturn what fans assume about the ending of 2025’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps. As the initial film in Marvel Studios’ Phase 6 lineup, The Fantastic Four could bring significant changes to the larger MCU with Marvel’s original family becoming part of the action.

In the second extra scene of the film “Thunderbolts”, there appears to contradict a widely-held viewpoint about the conclusion of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”. With the upcoming standalone film serving as a prelude to the 2026’s “Avengers: Doomsday”, this scene has left fans puzzled over how it connects with the storyline of the initial movie in the grand adventure of Phase 6.

In the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts, some people think the ship depicted could be identical to one shown in a recent Fantastic Four trailer, floating close to a planet that appears to be on the brink of destruction. Many have hypothesized that this endangered planet might actually be Earth from the Fantastic Four’s universe, set to meet its demise at the hands of Galactus, the primary antagonist in The Fantastic Four.

In contrast, the ship depicted in the post-credits scene sports four fins at its base, unlike the ship displayed in the trailer which features three. This discrepancy suggests that the world being destroyed might not be the Earth of the Fantastic Four, as their departure from their universe in a four-finned ship (an event yet to be shown) is contradicted by this scene.

In Marvel Studios’ upcoming film titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps“, you’ll witness numerous pivotal moments. This movie marks the entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for The Fantastic Four, featuring a remarkable ensemble cast led by Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing. They will portray these iconic characters, weaving their initial MCU tale, focusing on their struggle against the formidable threat of Galactus.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will debut in theaters on July 25.

Will The Fantastic Four: First Step’s Earth Be Destroyed?

The trailer suggests that some aspects of the theory predicting the destruction of The Fantastic Four’s home planet might not be true. However, many fans speculate that the planet could still be destroyed by the end of the film. This theory gains credence considering the four members of the team will also appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomday (following Fantastic Four), where they are familiar with alternate realities. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if this destruction occurs.

It appears that this theory hints at Galactus potentially devastating numerous planets in this universe before reaching Earth, demonstrating the immense danger he poses. Given that Galactus is considered a peer of Thanos and Doctor Doom, it’s clear that his influence will have far-reaching consequences, impacting the entire cosmos.

It is anticipated that the post-credits scene of “Thunderbolts” will be continued in “Avengers: Doomsday”, as it was shot by the Russo Brothers just weeks before the release of “Thunderbolts”. The introduction of “The Fantastic Four” might serve as an initial exploration of this moment, with more details possibly emerging in their upcoming solo film.

No matter what happens next, fans can rest assured that chaos and turmoil across multiple realities is impending following this crucial scene in the credits.
