- 2025Mid-credits, four years after the main story. Sue Storm leaves Franklin alone for a moment and returns to find a man in a green cloak with a metal mask standing over her son.

- 18 December 2026From the trailer: Doom on a throne; Sue Storm narrating that Victor was once different, that he was always the smartest person in the room, that everything he loved was taken from him; the Fantastic Four having a prior history with him; a destroyed New York. The most-repeated fan theory is that he is a variant of Tony Stark, given the casting. Marvel has not confirmed this and it may be a red herring.Open Avengers: Doomsday →
