Thunderbolts* Post-Credit Scene Might Not Be as Simple as Fans Thought

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently opened up about the mysterious post-credits scene in Thunderbolts* and what it could mean for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

What did Kevin Feige say about the Thunderbolts* post-credits scene?

Speaking to Empire Magazine, Feige was asked about the post-credits scene. In it, the New Avengers can be seen talking about their lack of support from society when they notice a spaceship has entered orbit. After taking a look, the spaceship is revealed to be none other than the Excelsior, the Fantastic Four’s ship.

Although Feige confirmed that the ship does indeed look like the one that belongs to the group, he then teased that the ship might not be the “same ship” people are thinking of.

“Their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU . . . But I’m not sure they’re the same ship,” Feige teased.

Fans were quick to begin theorizing on what Feige could have meant. The leading theory for most fans is that the ship is being piloted by none other than Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. However, it remains to be seen when the post-credits scene is taking place, as many have also theorized the scene could be a moment from 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.

Thankfully for fans, more information will come soon when The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 25, 2025.
