This post contains spoilers For "Fantastic Four: First Steps".

Well, it's for another year of the Marvel movies with a big screen. Marvel Studio 2025 cinematic stories ended with director Matt Shakman "Fantastic Four: First Steps", and everything remains is Marvel's latest heroes to use the red (though he would probably like a green) carpet for the next. We, of course, talk about Latver's famous leader, Dr. Doom (Robert Downey Runior), who is soon to make his malicious move against Earth's strongest heroes in "Avengers: Doomsday" scheduled for release in 2026.

For years in comics, Victor von Doom has been the strength to consider both heroes and villains, to the extent that he has recently become the emperor of the world. Some of his most terrible feats include turning a tan into dust, transforming galacutus into a huge battery, and even overcoming Riri Williams, aka Ironelezar, may think he has been lately. Because he made his debut in "Fantastic Four" #5 in 1962 and as a key part of the first family history, it only makes sense that he visits them in their first MCC film and strengthens the excitement of his official, full -fledged look. He is not the only villain to appear at the end of the film, though, like we, we also get our best look at another bad man that unfortunately only meet in an animated form after a live-action that is extracted from the film as a whole.

With the Deivora of the worlds moved to the other side of the universe and earth-828 safe from his unsaturated hunger, the son of Reid (Pedro Pascal) and Sue (Vanessa Kirby), Franklin Richards, is free to grow up to the protection of his Superhero family. However, in the middle of the credit scene, we have been transferred for four years in the future of a quiet afternoon in the Buckster building, where Sue reads to his son. After she goes to change the books for Franklin, she returns to find an uninvited guest sitting with him, whom her son reaches to touch her face. This mysterious mug cannot be seen as hidden under a green cloak and hood. What is unmistakable at the exhibition is the metal mask of Doctor Doom, before the scene is reduced to black.

As for debut performances, this is perhaps even more intense than when Tanos first hit the audience at the end of the "Avengers" in 2012. While the crazy Titanium was careful about us for his plans, it is clear that DOOM has looked at Franklin and may try to use his forces the same way the same way Galacutus (Ralph Ineson) tried and failed. We will only have to wait until next year to see how successful it is in its mission. However, from here, Shakman wrapped up his first introduction to the first family with a nostalgic jet in a past era and a villain we've never seen.

Even after appearing in The first trailer for "Fantastic Four: First Steps", It was discovered before the film's release that an actor who won an Academy Award Mon Malkovich, like a red spirit, was removed from the project as a victim of the floor of the cutting room. Thus, he said, during the film, there were few parts that remained, linking to his mixing in the heroism of the fantastic four, including the post-credit nostalgic nod with the animated team of their dimension.

Just like "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" ended with the original 1967 animated showWe have to see the introduction of the cartoon "Fantastic Four", which reveals that our supervisor's stopping team climbs against a variety of hostile, including Malkovich's red spirit. In that signature animated fashion in the 1960s, he saw some red strands and the long hair we saw in the trailer, along with another fantastic four enemy, Draconus. Similar to Superman's Superman's DC Studios, this post-credit clip for the "first steps" has no importance for the grand plot of its founding franchise or title. Instead, it's just a sweet sending for a movie that feels like a cartoon on Saturday morning, ending with one of its. However, however, maybe the next time the fantastic four goes alone in another movie, they return the red spirit for some right time on the screen while they are on it.
