WARNING: This article contains spoilers for both Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

The post-credits scene for Thunderbolts* contains the Fantastic Four’s rocket ship entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When it came time for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the scene was there… but it didn’t line up with the previous version. CinemaBlend's Jeff McCobb asked director Matt Shakman what went wrong, to which he explained, “...The Thunderbolts end credit scene was also created, you know, relatively late in my process too, so that was not something that I was familiar with because it hadn't been created at the time that I was working on my script, you know?”

In short, the scene simply didn't exist when the scene was being written. This often happens in movies and films like this. He would compare the whole thing to a relay race, “You pass the baton, you run your section of it as hard and fast as you can, do the best you can(...) and then you pass the baton.” Further details about this incident can be viewed in the link below, for those true believers who are interested in it, The Fantastic Four: The First Steps is currently in theatres now.
