The post-credit scene for "Thunderbolts*" is pretty hard to complain about: The Thunderbolts, now listed as new avengers, are warned of "multi-dimensional spacecraft" that enters Earth's orbit. The characters do not understand the meaning of this, but the audience makes it - it's a fantastic four spacecraft. And unlike other recent post-credit sequences that teased the conspiracy points away in the future, we are likely to get a sequel to this scene very soon. "Fantastic Four: First Steps" editions in cinema July 25, 2025.

But before "Thunderbolts*" there was a post-credit scene teasing "Fantastic Four", there were other plans. Eric Pearson, who co-wrote the film, revealed in a recent IGN Interview that the original idea of ​​the post-credit scene included teasing another movie in Marvel's film universe. As he said, "I threw myself together at the beginning of the post-credit sequence that had to deal with Kang."

"Thunderbolts*", which was discovered to be in production as early as 2022, began assuming that the wicked villain Kang (Jonatan Malliers) will be the new ultra-negative of MCC. However, production was delayed by strikes in 2023 and was complicated further by Jononnay Miors. Several claims of harassment and attack. Subsequently, the specialty was fired from Disney, and writers "Thunderbolt*" had to change the course. Instead of the post-credit sequence focused on Kang, we got more relevant to the much discussed fantastic four.

Pearson shed a little light on another idea of ​​the post-credit sequence, the one who teases the return of Baron Zemo (Daniel Brichl), who first appeared in Captain America: Civil War.

"There was definitely a mark (post-credit) I made a million years ago where it is like Kiser Sose, as it somehow pulls the strings out of prison," he explained. (For those who do not recognize that name immediately, Sose is the bad man of the "usual suspects" played by Kevin Spacey.) But as Pearson admitted, "I think iteration didn't live longer than like," Hey, what about this? "" No, not that. "

Although it is quite obvious why the Kang-focused sequence would be a bad idea, it is worth noting that the Thunderbolt*has the first post-credit scene in a long time that is actually exciting. Most of the recent have desperate despair, throwing the writers something on the wall and hoping to glue. The worst is probably the scene of the middle loans in the "Drawer and Multiversum of Madness", which undermines the dark clifancher of the film that ends to tease the introduction of The new character of Charlize Theron, Clea. (Three years later, we have never revealed what her contract is.) Many other scenes of recent loans have similar vibrations, introducing random characters and never following them.

We hope that "Thunderbolts*", on the other hand, can set a new rule for the MCU movies: From now on, use only your post-credit scenes to tease the films you want Definitely It happened, and it will happen soon. Perhaps the post-credit scenes "Fantastic Four" will tease "Avengers: Doomsday" in 2026And maybe the one in "Avengers: Doomsday" will tease The film "Spider-Man" was expected immediately afterwards. The post-credit sequence in Thunderbolt*points to a new level of discipline in MCC. The franchise seems to know that audience's patience has been worn in recent years, so for now, they just promise to know what they can deliver.
