The Fantastic Four post-credits scene will have more in common with the Thunderbolts* after-credits stinger than we originally thought: they share the same director(s), despite the two movies being helmed by different filmmakers.

That's right, the Russos are back. As with the Thunderbolts* post-credits scene, Joe and Anthony Russo shot the post-credits scene for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, according to director Matt Shakman.

"They were very involved and, as we were making this film, they wanted to visit our sets and watch scenes as they were coming together and get to know these characters so they could treat them well, do right by them in the next movie," Shakman said in a new interview with ComicBook.

"They’re really good protectors of these characters as well. I often think of working at Marvel as like running a relay race. You pass the baton, you run as hard and fast as you can with it for that section of the race that belongs to you, and then you pass that baton. I passed it on to Joe and Anthony and they’re off and running, and that’s great."
