Fantastic Four: First Steps - Worth Sticking Around After the Credits? (Spoiler-Free)
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Don't bail on *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* as soon as the credits roll! There are both mid- and post-credit scenes that are worth sticking around for, potentially setting up future MCU storylines.
Alright, mate, so you're thinking of braving the cinema crowds for *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*? Good on ya! But let's get down to brass tacks: are there any of those sneaky post-credits stingers that Marvel's so famous for?
Well, fair dinkum, the answer is YES. Both a mid-credits and a post-credits scene await those patient enough to stick around after the main event. Now, why is this important? Well, *First Steps* is carrying a fair bit on its shoulders. It's the big MCU debut for Marvel's first family, trying to knock it out of the park in a summer packed tighter than a loot box overflowing with useless skins, and it's supposedly laying the groundwork for *Avengers: Doomsday* (and, more importantly, the return of RDJ as Doctor Doom... maybe?).
IGN's Clint Gage (bless his cotton socks) gave *First Steps* a solid 7 out of 10, reckonin' it's "interesting to look at even if it doesn’t quite rise to the scale of its planet-eating antagonist." Planet-eating antagonist, eh? Sounds a bit like some Web3 games and their insatiable hunger for our hard-earned cash, doesn't it? (Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh... but you get my drift.)
Look, we all know the drill: Marvel movies have post-credits scenes. It's practically written into their DNA. But according to the chaps at IGN South Africa, these two are "worth sticking around for, albeit for very different reasons." Intriguing, isn't it? Makes you wonder what kind of breadcrumbs they're dropping for the future of the MCU. Are we talking multiverse shenanigans? A sneaky peek at Doom's master plan? Or maybe just a quick gag to send us home with a chuckle?
We'll have to wait and see, won't we? But the fact that they exist at all is a good sign. It means Marvel's still thinking about the bigger picture, still trying to build a cohesive universe (even if it sometimes feels like they're just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks).
So, should you stay 'til the bitter end? If you're a Marvel fan, absolutely. If you're just looking for a good movie, well, IGN reckons it's worth a punt. Just be prepared for the inevitable surge of fan theories and speculation that's about to flood the internet. It'll be wilder than a goblin's tea party, I guarantee it!
