Viewers are excitedly waiting to see Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic and team engaging in the biggest fight of the decade against Galactus.

Amid the ongoing buzz surrounding the movie, filmmaker Matt Shakman revealed that powerhouse director duo Joe and Anthony Russo took over to direct a major 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.
