Iron Man – The Arrival of Nick Fury
Here is the beginning of everything. First, Robert Downey Jr. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which appeared before us with the movie Iron Man, in which we met with Tony Stark, in which we met with Tony Stark, thus took the first step towards a legend. The post-credit scene of the movie was just as important because we see Nick Fury, who will be the director of S. H. I. E. L. D. and later the head of the Avengers team.
Tony Stark, who managed to defeat Iron Monger, goes to the living room and sees a strange and mysterious man sitting in the dark. This guy who introduces himself as Nick Fury wants to talk to Tony about the Avengers Initiative
The Incredible Hulk – Tony Stark forms the team
The Incredible Hulk, the movie that comes right after Iron-Man and where we meet Bruce Banner, although it only tells the origin story of Hulk, we can say that the post-credit scene is perhaps the most important scene.
In the post-credits scene of The Incredible Hulk, Tony Stark talks to General Thaddeus Ross in a bar and says they’ve formed a team. The general asks ‘who are you?’ and of course the audience immediately understands that ‘we’ means the Avengers.
Iron Man 2 – Thor’s hammer Mjolnir
Iron Man 2 does not have a direct impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe on its own. In the movie, we watch our hero Tony Stark fight the bad guys. But again, this post-credit scene is very important.
In the post-credit scene of Iron Man 2, we see S. H. I. E. L. D. agent Phil Coulson, whom we see in the movie, in a region in the south. He’s on the phone with Nick Fury and says they found ‘him’. What he means by ‘he’ is Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, so we understand that Thor will come too.
The Avengers – Thanos is coming
The post-credit scene of The Avengers is one of the most memorable scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this scene, Other informs his enigmatic master that Loki’s invasion of Earth has failed and that to challenge Earth’s mightiest heroes will be to court Death. At this point the master turns around so we see Thanos smiling.
The scene didn’t hint at a particular movie, but it did reveal Thanos’ presence in the universe. From that moment on, fans knew that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would eventually turn into a final battle between the Avengers and Thanos.
Thor: The Dark World – The Collector and the Reality Stone
The post-credit scene of Thor: The Dark World took the first steps towards perceiving the Infinity Stones as truly dangerous objects. To prevent Thanos (or anyone else) from invading Asgard in order to gain access to the two Infinity Stones in the scene, Sif and Volstagg deliver the Reality Stone, then known as the Aether, to The Collector.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier – Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver
The post-credit scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier set the stage for the next Avengers movie. In the scene, we see Baron von Strucker discussing the fall of S. H. I. E. L. D. and Hydra, and also holding Loki’s Staff. Also, as fans, we saw miracle twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in this movie for the first time.
Avengers: Age Of Ultron – Second appearance of Thanos
Avengers: Age Of Ultron only had one post-credit scene, in which Thanos puts on the Infinity Gauntlet and says, “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” it showed. However, Age of Ultron’s post-credit scene had a story gap: How could the Infinity Gauntlet, which was already in Asgard’s vault, be in Thanos’ hands? This issue was fixed by Hela in Thor 3 and the glove in the vault was found to be fake.
Captain America: Civil War – Spider-Man is officially coming to the MCU
Captain America: Civil War not only introduced viewers to Black Panther, but also brought Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s why the studio used an amusing and hilarious post-credits scene from Peter Parker’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was released the following summer. The text ‘Spider-Man will return’, which appeared at the end of the scene, created a great excitement train.
Thor: Ragnarok – Thor and Loki see Thanos’ ship
The main plot of Thor: Ragnarok was mostly standalone and didn’t set the stage for Avengers: Infinity War as audiences thought, but the post-credits scene of the movie led to the blockbuster movie. In the scene, Thor and Loki discuss whether it’s a good idea to bring Loki back to the planet he once tried to conquer while on the spaceship that will take them to Earth.
Thor says he feels everything will be alright for them, and at that moment Thanos’ ship Sanctuary II appears above them, and so we all anticipate their impending doom. In fact, the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War takes place in the same environment.
Avengers: Infinity War – Nick Fury’s call to Captain Marvel
The shocking ending of Avengers: Infinity War showed us that Thanos used the unlimited power of the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of life in the universe, and he achieved his goal. In the post-credit scene of the movie, we get away from Wakanda and Thanos and start to see people turning into dust.
Agents Maria Hill and Nick Fury are among these people, and Fury uses a mysterious device to call for help before he’s in the dust. We see Captain Marvel’s logo on the device and the 1-year wait for Avengers: Endgame begins.
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Venom moves to Sony universe
Tom Holland’s Peter Parker gives up everything to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the danger of the multiverse clashes awaiting Earth due to Doctor Strange’s broken spell, and the movie ends. Then, in the post-credit scene, we see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock character in a bar in Mexico, and it turns out he came to this universe too.
Eddie Brock, chatting with the bartender, gathers information about the superheroes of this universe and suddenly Dr. Thanks to Strange’s magic, he begins to go backwards. At that moment, the Symbiot Venom inside Eddie leaves a part of it to this universe. This means that there is now a Venom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and we will probably watch it in Spider-Man 4.
Thus, we have come to the end of our content in which we have compiled the most important Marvel Cinematic Universe post-credit scenes. Please do not forget to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section below.
