The Fantastic Four: First Steps isn't going to be filled with cameos or Marvel Easter eggs, director Matt Shakman has confirmed.
"We are our own universe," Shakman told Empire magazine. "Which is wonderful and liberating. There's really no [other] superheroes. There's no Easter eggs. There's no running into Iron Man or whatever. They're it, in this universe. I love the interconnected Marvel Universe, but we get to do something so new and so different. Eventually this world will meet up with other worlds – but for now this is our own little corner."
That doesn't come as a huge surprise, considering everything we've seen of Fantastic Four so far has showcased a retro-futuristic world that looks pretty different from the MCU we know and love.
