Let’s make this simple: You want to know if there are any post- or mid-credits scenes in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The answer is yes, there’s both.
There’s a lot riding on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It’s the film that finally introduces the iconic team to the MCU (even if they aren’t on the right Earth just yet). It’s a film that’s striving to do big box office numbers in a very crowded summer movie season and coming off the heels of two underperforming Marvel movies. And, of course, it’s directly laying the foundation for 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday and the rise of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
We’ll get into the specifics of how First Steps ends and how it does (or doesn’t) set up Doomsday when our full Ending Explained breakdown drops tomorrow. But for now, there’s one all-important question that needs to be answered.
Does The Fantastic Four: First Steps Have Any Post-Credits Scenes?
Come on, this is a Marvel movie. Of course it does.
Sticking to the traditional MCU formula, First Steps includes both a mid- and a post-credits scene. They’re both worth sticking around for, albeit for very different reasons.
So there you have it. Check back here on Friday for our full ending explained update.
IGN’s Clint Gage gave The Fantastic Four: First Steps a 7 out of 10 in his review, writing, “With The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Matt Shakman directs a film that’s for sure interesting to look at even if it doesn’t quite rise to the scale of its planet-eating antagonist, a force of cosmic nature that doubles as a metaphor for parenting in a way that makes me feel seen as a father. These First Steps might not be the great strides I was hoping for, but they are sure footing for the Fantastic Four to officially leap into the MCU.”
