What Did Matt Shakman Say About Russo Brothers-Helmed Fantastic Four: First Steps Post-Credit Scene?
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.”
