Now that Disney's completed its acquisition of 21st Century Fox and the studio's film and television assets, Marvel fans can't help but wonder when the studio might start bringing in the X-Men and the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Are we going to get a post-credit scene in Avengers: Endgame introducing the mutants into the MCU? Or are we going to see the mutants in another film?
While Marvel hasn't revealed when exactly the studio would be integrating the X-Men and the Fantastic Four into the MCU, a Marvel fan on Reddit has pointed out a pretty deep reference to the mutants in the newest trailer for Endgame.
According to this post on Reddit, the most recent trailer for Endgame may actually hint at the Richards family in the movie. During the second video for the film, we get to see the number 1064 in the background when Paul Rudd's Scott Lang stares at a post.
While this number might not mean much to some, the Marvel fan who made the Reddit post suggests that 1064 could point to Avengers #10 which was released in 1964. This comic first introduced Nathaniel Richards, Immortus, into the universe of Marvel Comics.
The Redditor also suggests another possibility of the Fantastic Four, saying that Scott Lang may very well meet Reed or Nathaniel Richards in another reality parallel to his. The two characters have both studied the Quantum Realm, so they may help Ant-Man return to the universe he belongs to.
It might sound like a stretch, but anything's possible at this point in time. What do you think of this new fan theory? Are there any other better ones online?
