Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ biggest moment is going to impact one character’s journey in Avengers: Doomsday. Finally, after several years and some mixed results when it came to live-action Fantastic Four movies, Marvel’s First Family is back home. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Fantastic Four reboot is only the first step for the team, as the heroes return in upcoming MCU movies.

Avengers: Doomsday‘s cast includes all the main players from the MCU Fantastic Four movie, with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach reprising their Marvel roles. Also returning is Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, who debuted in one of The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ post-credits scenes. Besides character returns, the movie’s most important moment will impact Avengers: Doomsday‘s plot.

Speaking to MovieWeb, Vanessa Kirby explained how Sue Storm’s death and resurrection connect to Avengers: Doomsday. The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ ending saw Franklin Richards resurrect his mother after Sue pushed herself to the limit against Galactus. According to Kirby, she has been thinking about how an experience like that changes someone.

In preparation for Avengers: Doomsday, the actress is researching what people who really went through that have experienced. Check out the full quote below:

“I’ve been thinking a lot doing Avengers and stuff about how someone that’s been through, in the space of basically a week, someone who has given birth and has died and come back to life… how a death experience like that would change you.

I’ve been listening to a lot of people that have had those kinds of experiences and what they learn, and therefore how different they are after they come back from that.”

What Vanessa Kirby’s New Avengers: Doomsday Comments Mean

Vanessa Kirby’s new Avengers: Doomsday update is exciting. While there should be many events happening in rapid succession in the next Avengers movie, it is interesting to see that the actress is bringing even more depth to Sue Storm. The character was easily one of the standouts in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with Kirby being the best live-action Sue.

Given how the Fantastic Four are set to play a major role in the next two Avengers movies, Kirby’s new Sue Storm comments track. It would be within reason for Marvel to continue to flesh out these characters as humans beyond their superhero antics, which was a huge part of why The Fantastic Four: First Steps succeeded.

Sue’s death after being the team’s biggest player against Galactus was undoubtedly the MCU movie’s most shocking moment. Like the actress mentioned, Sue gave birth, died, and was resurrected in rapid succession. That surely changes a person. Since the Fantastic Four movie had a four-year time jump in its post-credits scene, Avengers: Doomsday will explore the events’ long-term effects.

Our Take On Vanessa Kirby’s New Avengers: Doomsday Comments

While The Fantastic Four: First Steps made sure every member of the team got their time to shine, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm was likely the film’s most developed hero. To see that Sue’s death and return to life will not be glossed over, which past superhero movies have done, is exciting. It can make the character richer.

With a strong performer like Kirby, who excels in the quieter, introspective moments, Sue should now be one to watch in Avengers: Doomsday. Having died and fought to prevent that fate for her world, Sue will likely use that as motivation to prevent incursions from destroying the multiverse in Avengers: Doomsday. Perhaps Doctor Doom could manipulate her through that.
