Now, almost all major franchise movies go out of their way to have post-credits scenes.
Love them or hate them, they’re here to stay.
With that in mind, here are 33 of the greatest post-credits scenes in movies.
Sure, it’s a cheap set-up for a sequel that ultimately never happened.
But that doesn’t mean it lacks vibes.
“I Don’t Have the Temperament” in Iron Man 3 (2013)
Poor Bruce Banner.
What did he do to get wrangled into hearing Tony Stark ramble?
Instead, it returns to the boardroom where clueless executives yap about what might be the next big thing.
Eventually, they land on a totally revolutionary idea: cat videos.
But it’s true.
The seminal 2000s comedy Napoleon Dynamite indeed has a post-credits scene.
Every Scene in Deadpool 2 (2018)
Leave it to Deadpool to go all out.
“I’ll Give Him Another 20 Minutes” in Airplane!
(1980)
Airplane!
(Too bad it’s 1980, because he could get an Uber in just five minutes.)
This scene is just one of many surprises kept hidden in Airplane!.
Don’t believe me?
Read the end credits closely.
All the Scenes, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
2 (2017)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
2 packs a whole heck of a lot for one movie.
Woven throughout the credits are not one, not two, not even three, butfivebonus scenes.
Other scenes have bigger implications.
Adam would eventually show up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
3, played by Will Poulter.
He is T’Challa’s son, who also goes by T’Challa.
The Tesseract, in Thor (2011)
Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t spotless.
History tells us another."
(He loses one of his shoes in the process.)
Covered in slime, he yells out for his other shoe.
No one is sure where exactly it’s coming from, and who it’s meant for.
Saving the multiverse can wait.
Tommy Oliver: Green Ranger?
A Venomous Surprise, in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
20.
Deadpool Confirms Cable, in Deadpool (2016)
Of course Deadpool would pay homage to Ferris Bueller.
But Deadpool knows what his people want: a teaser for the sequel.
Sam Jackson to show up?
With an eyepatch and a saucy little leather number?"
But just because they can’t show anyone doesn’t mean Deadpool can’t spill beans.
“Could be Mel Gibson, Dolph Lundgren, Kiera Knightley.
She’s got range.
Fury’s Last Call, in Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and “Where’s Fury?”
And in the post-credits ofthatmovie, Captain Marvel arrives on Earth to respond to Fury’s signal.
“Where’s Fury?”
she asks the Avengers.
There’s no time for pleasantries when the world is in trouble.
The inclusion of Black Panther was a big one, bringing with him his mysterious kingdom of Wakanda.
“Do You Believe in Ghosts?”
in Fast Five (2011)
Superheroes ain’t the only franchise to get post-credits scenes.
(Which also starred Chris Evans, of all people, as Johnny Storm.)
However, a computer pad strangely malfunctions.
That brings us to the movie’s post-credits scene.
But it does feel like Thanos talking to the audience.
As in: If Ultron couldn’t wipe out the Avengers, then he will.
And you know what?
All so he can get payback for what Dom did to his brother Owen (Luke Evans).
Not because it has a new character or a celebrity cameo, but just because of howweirdthe vibes are.
The point is that Bullseye still has his killer marksmanship, and he’ll get his revenge.
It’s just too bad Daredevil 2 never happened.
(Also: Have youseenDavy Jones recently?
Those visual effects hold up so well after so many years!)
We’ll just ignore the other sequels.
Simple: Have that hammer belong to Thor.
But at least “The Rock” got to share screentime with a Man of Steel.
Although that never happened, it’s still fun to imagine how explosive it would have been.
Drinking to Remember, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Wolverine, ever the haunted mutant.
It was a novelty at the time.
John Wick: Chapter 4 might have killed its title hero (spoilers?
), but that doesn’t mean the world of The Continental stops spinning.
The scene ends just as Akira unsheathes her knife before Caine.
In May 2024, Yen confirmed that production was underway for a Caine spin-off.
In the post-credits scene, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley return as their beloved characters.
Never mind that he was technically a war criminal after the events of Civil War.
It’s good to have patience, even if it isn’t rewarded.
(Don’t say Tony Stark.)
He’s actually almost mad about it, for some reason.
whose “superpower” is amassing the necessary intelligence for the sake of Earth’s security.
The scene ends right after Fury tells him about The Avengers Initiative.
And baby,that’show you build a cinematic universe.
