Avengers: Doomsday directors Joe and Anthony Russo have shared another cryptic tease from the movie's set, but what does it have to do with the Fantastic Four? You can take a closer look right here...

As work continues on Avengers: Doomsday, the Russo Brothers have just taken to Instagram to share another cryptic tease. Accompanied by the hashtag #DoomsdayIsComing, this blurry photo has left fans scratching their heads. 

Upon closer inspection, we believe that this is Reed Richards' chalkboard from The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The white etchings on a black background were our first clue, though the yellow line appears to be the giveaway. 

In the reboot, we learned that Mister Fantastic had been researching parallel dimensions, and that's likely what Joe and Anthony are teasing here. Remember, Thunderbolts*'s post-credits scene—helmed by the duo—featured the Excelsior spaceship arriving in Earth 616's atmosphere.

We're still waiting for a follow-up to March's Avengers: Doomsday casting reveal, and can't help but wonder whether the next set of names could be revealed on this elongated chalkboard.

Time will tell on that front, but with the movie still over a year away, it could be a while before we see anything official from the blockbuster. 

Over the summer, The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman talked about Reed leading The Avengers (he was referring to the comics, but many took it as an indication of it being the plan for Avengers: Doomsday). Pedro Pascal later weighed in on that by saying, "It’s big news to me, that’s for one. I think Matt Shakman was doing an interview and when he was speaking about Reed."

"There is something that happens in the comics where he is sort of drawn in by the Avengers family and asked to be put into a leadership position. That is something that happens in the comics. It isn’t necessarily something that my character’s future entails," he continued. "I am being honest in that. I am not even trying to avoid spoilers. It’s a little bit of a mislead."

Take a closer look at this Avengers: Doomsday tease from the Russo Brothers below. 

Avengers: Doomsday stars Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Winston Duke, Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Florence Pugh, Danny Ramirez, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman all make their Avengers franchise debuts in the movie. 

The Fantastic Four: First Steps leads Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn join them, as do X-Men franchise stars Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Deadpool & Wolverine star Channing Tatum.

Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Ryan Reynolds are also set to appear, according to recent reports from the trades. 

The Russo Brothers direct the movie from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the Avengers and Captain America franchises. Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's Michael Waldron is also working on the script.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

Lost me at "parallel dimensions".

Still a reasonably cool idea in about 1970. Sorry Marvel.

@Feralwookiee - Yeah, they might as well not post anything at all. This is basically useless except to get some clicks and trends.

@Feralwookiee - The next cast reveal better have Holland, Jackman, Evens, Toby, and more characters the fans actually want to see

@Bucky74 - there’s going to be a couple of surprises in the name drops, Marvel still has some secrets left.

@Bucky74 - I know most fans probably want to see them, but I certainly don't.
I'm tired of "nostalgia" of the Sony Spidey and the Fox Men.

It's time to move on and totally recast instead of relying on cheap lazy cameos from movies that were mostly mediocre to poor imo (looking at you Fox-Men.)

@Feralwookiee - I'm still a sucker for nostalgia bait. Seeing my old favs with some of the main MCU heroes like Thor, Steve Rogers, Spidey, etc, is exciting to me, but I get that it's a gimmick many don't like.

@Bucky74 - I'm not judging. I'm just over it and never was big on the Fox X-Men anyway.
I'm done with that and the Multiverse in general. It's time to move on imo.

@Feralwookiee - Going by what they did for F4 or Spiderman I don't have any rush to see the X-Men reboot.

I think they are just playing with the fans.
Highly doubt there is a teaser coming or another big cast announcement.

would love to be proven wrong, tho.
