The 5 Marvel Post-Credits Scenes That Changed The MCU The Most
Post-credits scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have mostly been used to set up future Marvel Studios projects, but some have had an even larger impact on the shape of the franchise. Since 2008's Iron Man, Marvel Studios has used post-credits scenes to feature Easter eggs, tease upcoming films and Disney+ shows, and sometimes as light-hearted and entertaining moments to breathe. The promise of extra content keeps MCU theater audiences in their seats until the very last moment, and sometimes, these scenes make huge strides to flesh out the world of the MCU.
Post-credits scenes such as Phil Coulson finding Thor's hammer in Iron Man 2, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff being introduced in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Nick Fury sending a signal to Captain Marvel in Avengers: Infinity War have all set up incredible moments in subsequent projects and boosted excitement for the MCU's future. On the flip-side, watching the Avengers eat shawarma after the Battle of New York, or waiting through the credits to hear Captain America talk about patience have provided some brilliant moments of entertainment. A select few, however, have had a major impact on the MCU, and make waiting through the credits worth it.
