Fantastic Four Image Reveals What The Russos’ Strange Photo Truly Means

by

As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled about the recent emergence of a cryptic image that could potentially shed light on the Russo Brothers’ enigmatic teaser for “Avengers: Doomsday.” Initially shared with the caption “#DoomsdayIsComing,” this intriguing chalkboard sketch has been linked to “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” suggesting a broader connection between these two narratives, yet preserving the mystery surrounding the core storylines.

As a seasoned film critic, I’d rephrase that sentence as follows: In a chilling social media post, the visionary directors Anthony and Joe Russo hinted at “Doomsday” with an intriguing image. The horizontal wooden ledge in the snapshot echoes one featured in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, strongly suggesting it to be Reed Richards’ board. This visual link underscores the Avengers’ journey to the Earth-828 of the Fantastic Four.

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but get excited when rumors started swirling about a potential new cast for our beloved Fantastic Four. However, upon closer inspection of the latest image released, it seems we might not be getting a cast reveal just yet. Instead, the intriguing teaser hints at Reed Richards’ blackboard and a link to Earth-828 that could potentially point towards some exciting developments within the Fantastic Four universe!

In the project I’m currently involved with, Kevin Feige has revealed that we are embarking on an adventure where Earth-616’s Avengers will venture into the realm of the Fantastic Four, during the events of Doomsday. As a comic book aficionado, you may recognize this convergence as ‘Incursions’, which is essentially multiple universes merging together. According to Feige, this storyline we’re working on now is being filmed simultaneously and, for those who are familiar with the comics, these sets are the same ones used for the Fantastic Four. Needless to say, it’s incredibly exciting to be a part of bringing this world that was introduced in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ to life on screen!

In July 2025, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” unveiled an intriguing blend of past and future technology in Earth-828’s unique world. This movie raked in an impressive $515 million globally. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, it depicted Reed Richards as the universe’s leading scientific genius. Furthermore, it introduced iconic characters like Galactus and the Silver Surfer into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The closing credits scene hinted at Doctor Doom with a mysterious figure in a hood and metal mask, subtly alluding to Sue Storm and Franklin Richards’ encounter.

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I’m beyond excited for the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – “Avengers: Doomsday”! This time around, we’ll have some familiar faces gracing our screens once more. The one and only Robert Downey Jr., reprising his role as Victor von Doom, will join forces with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.

The X-Men are also joining the fray! Patrick Stewart returns as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and Channing Tatum steps into the shoes of Gambit. Can you imagine the epic battles that lie ahead?

Now, here’s something really cool: Kevin Feige, the mastermind behind this universe, has confirmed that the Baxter Building will make an appearance in “Doomsday.” If you remember, that’s where we first saw our favorite Fantastic Four bonding together. In “Avengers,” we can expect to see a lot more heroes gathering in that very same kitchen, making for some hilarious and heartwarming moments as they literally drop by each other’s homes!

Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
