Following recent Marvel traditions, the upcomingAnt-MansequelAnt-Man and the Waspwill feature two post-credits scenes to tease audiences after the end of the movie. This report comes from the world premiere ofAnt-Man and the Waspthat occurred over the weekend.
Including scenes during and after the credits has become a signature move by Marvel Studios. While post-credit scenes have been occurring for years, it’s safe to say that Marvel Studios have popularized the practice, with a number of other movie franchises recently picking up the trend, includingJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. While mostpost-credit sceneswere originally used in comedy movies to add one final joke for the people who sat through the credits, they are now used to tease future movies with some rather genius set up.
Initially, movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would only feature one scene during the credits, butThe Avengerschanged all of this, with almost every Marvel movie since featuring two post-credit scenes, one after the end titles, and another after the credit crawl itself. Last year,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2took this to anew level with its 5 credits scenes. With that in mind, the fact thatAnt-Man and the Wasponly has two scenes during the credits isn’t too alarming.
Unfortunately, like almost every detail about the movie, the basis of the two post-credits scenes are being kept under wraps by Marvel Studios and everyone who attended the premiere. The movie was reportedly met with afantastic reception at the premiere, but besides that, no details have gotten out and probably won’t get out until the embargo forAnt-Man and the Wasplifts later this week.
However, if the typical trend for duo post-credits scenes continues inAnt-Man and the Wasp, it’s a safe bet that one post-credits scene, more than likely the first scene, will be more lighthearted, likely paying off a joke or tying up loose ends to a lighter subplot. Finally, the post-credits scene at the end will likely teaseAvengers 4, or even a laterAnt-Manmovie.
A supposed leak posted on Reddit fromAvengers 4claimed that the post-credits scene ofAnt-Man and the Waspwould show whatClint Barton/ Hawkeye was up to duringAvengers: Infinity War, and would likely take place right after the “snap” at the end of the movie. This would be a clever way to connectAnt-Man and the Waspto the nextAvengers, even if it didn’t include Ant-Man and Wasp themselves. Of course, this “leak” should be taken with a grain of salt, like most leaks posted on Reddit.
While this news aboutAnt-Man and the Wasphaving two post-credits scenes, reported byComicBook.com, isn’t incredibly shocking, it is still refreshing.Avengers: Infinity Waronly had one scene after its credits, due to the tone at the end of the movie, so it’s good to see that Marvel isn’t going back to only having one post-credits scene per movie. you’re able to see these two post-credits scenes for yourself whenAnt-Man and the Wasphits theaters on July 6th.
