Breaking: ‘Fantastic Four’ Post-Credits Scene Unveils Franklin Richards’ Crucial Role in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and Doctor Doom’s Arrival

The recently released film, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ currently playing in theaters, has dropped a major bombshell for the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its critical post-credits scenes. Audiences are now buzzing over the definitive confirmation of Franklin Richards, the incredibly powerful son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, as a central figure in the highly anticipated 2026 blockbuster, ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’

During the film, infant Franklin’s astonishing ‘power cosmic’ is showcased when he miraculously brings his mother, Sue Storm, back from the brink of death. This god-like ability to manipulate reality and even time positions Franklin as potentially the most formidable character introduced in the MCU to date.

Adding to the excitement, a mid-credits scene fast-forwards four years, showing an older Franklin Richards being approached by a mysterious cloaked figure bearing a silver mask. While his face remains unseen, the character is unmistakably Doctor Doom, who is confirmed to be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ This direct interaction immediately establishes Doom’s significant, and often complex, involvement in Franklin’s life, echoing their intertwined comic book history.

This strategic revelation not only firmly integrates the Fantastic Four into the expansive MCU narrative but also provides a compelling emotional anchor for ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ centering on a family’s desperate fight to protect their extraordinarily powerful child. The implications for the ongoing Multiverse Saga and future MCU storylines are colossal, with Franklin Richards now poised to play a pivotal, potentially reality-altering, role.
