Will Fantastic Four Have a Post-Credit Scene?

The post-credit sequence inMarvelmovies has become so synonymous with thesuperhero genrein general that fans have come to expect them in every movie, no matter what studio it comes from. Fans hoping for an end-credits scene in 20th Century Fox’sFantastic Fourreboot, starJamie Belldelivered some bad news in an interview withMTVatComic-Con, revealing there is no such moment to look forward too. But the movie itself sets up several potential sequels. Here’s what the actor had to say.

“No we don’t have a post-credits scene. It does leave the door wide open for a lot of different movies. I think this movie really focuses on the origins of each character individually - how they get their powers, how they learn to deal with them, how they learn to harness them, how they’re stronger as four than they are as individuals. That’s kind of where the movie ends. But then there’s so much more to go on from there - it really leaves the door open.”

Jamie Bell, who plays Ben Grimm, a.k.a. The Thing inFantatsic Four, wouldn’t elaborate on how the movie sets up possible sequels, or how it “leaves the door open.” It’s also no secret that 20th Century Fox is developingThe Fantastic Four 2, with a June 30, 2025 release date already set, and starsMiles Teller(Mr. Fantastic),Michael B. Jordan(The Human Torch) andKate Mara(The Inivisble Woman) set to return asMarvel’s first family, alongsideJamie Bell. There was also a rumor that surfaced last week which revealed the studio wantsBryan Singerto direct the sequel, in order to set up a crossover movie withFantastic FourandX-Men, but that has not been confirmed.

Josh Trankdirected the reboot from a script bySimon Kinberg, who is also producing the latestX-Menmovie,X-Men: Apocalypse, currently shooting in Montreal. Both theX-Men: ApocalypseandFantastic Fourcasts and filmmakers were present at SDCC last week, as a part of the 20th Century Fox Hall H panel, which culminated in an epic superhero selfie, along with the cast ofDeadpool. TheBryan Singerrumor was never confirmed, but even if it isn’t accurate, it could be an indication thatJosh Trankwon’t be back to directThe Fantastic Four 2.
