If you’re heading to the theater for Thunderbolts, don’t even think about leaving before the final credits roll! Marvel has just broken a surprising new record with the second post-credits scene, and fans are already buzzing about its importance.
🕒 A Record-Breaking Post-Credits Scene
The final scene after the credits clocks in at 2 minutes and 54 seconds – making it the longest single post-credits scene in MCU history, excluding the extended “Rogers: The Musical” scene from Hawkeye. It’s not just long for the sake of it either. This nearly 3-minute segment is packed with narrative weight, teasing the next major event in the MCU.
🚫 No Spoilers, But Huge Implications
Marvel placed this scene all the way at the end for a reason – it’s a game-changer, offering key setups for Avengers: Judgment Day and giving us important updates on a few central characters. For fans deeply invested in the Multiverse Saga, this is a must-watch.
📊 For comparison:
- Iron Man’s iconic Avengers Initiative scene? Just 37 seconds.
- All five post-credit scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? 2 minutes and 51 seconds combined.
🔮 What’s Next in the MCU?
Thunderbolts wraps up Phase Five of the MCU on the big screen. Coming up:
- Fantastic Four kicks off Phase Six this July.
- The saga will conclude with Avengers: Judgment Day (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).
So next time you watch Thunderbolts, grab your popcorn, stick around, and soak in every second—because that record-setting scene is more than just a bonus, it’s the future of Marvel.
