The post-credits scene is far lighter, and doesn't hint at future stories. Instead, it's an animated sequence shown on an old-timey television — more specifically, it appears to be the theme song of the "Fantastic Four" television show that exists in-universe.

The movie, the fifth effort to adapt the comic characters for the big screen, was expected to collect about $220 million worldwide in its first weekend.

“ The Fantastic Four: First Steps ” stretched its arms around $57 million from 4,125 theaters across Friday and preview screenings. Per Disney ‘s numbers, that’s the second-biggest opening day of the calendar year, ranking just behind “A Minecraft Movie” ($57.11 million). The film is playing Imax and other premium large format auditoriums.
