As anticipation builds for the upcoming release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, new rumors are emerging regarding the fate of Marvel’s First Family’s Earth in the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Scheduled to debut on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in a parallel universe, leading many fans to speculate that this planet could face destruction by the film’s conclusion. This outcome would pave the way for Reed Richards and his team to transition to Earth-616, the central hub of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, according to entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, there is a twist to the story. Various reports suggest that the Fantastic Four’s Earth may survive the film’s events, challenging the prevailing assumption of its demise. Richtman shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Marvel Studios is currently filming new scenes specifically featuring the Fantastic Four in their original world, including a setting that depicts a baseball game.
While the intent behind these new sequences remains uncertain, their timing hints they could be linked to Avengers: Doomsday. As The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set for release in just weeks, the idea of reshoots for this film seems unlikely, which reinforces the belief that the scenes captured will be incorporated into the next Avengers film.
As fans await the fate of the Fantastic Four’s universe, they can look forward to discovering more when The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters. This new narrative direction could offer a fresh perspective and potential developments for the Marvel franchise, sparking excitement for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
