Jackson emerged at the end of the \u201cIron Man\u201d credits in 2008 speaking ominously of \u201cthe Avenger initiative,\u201d audiences are now conditioned to sit through the end credits of all kinds of movies on the expectation that at least one bonus scene awaits them. (Just in 2021, films as disparate as \u201cCruella,\u201d \u201cIn the Heights,\u201d \u201cThe Green Knight\u201d and \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d have featured scenes that run after the credits.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be sure, Marvel Studios did not invent this technique, but the company certainly has perfected it, using post-credits scenes to reinforce the central conceit that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever-expanding storytelling web that will never truly conclude or resolve. From \u201cIron Man\u201d through 2021 releases like the feature \u201cEternals\u201d and the Disney Plus series \u201cWandaVision,\u201d the MCU has indulged in no less than 52 post-credits teasers to date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some of these scenes serve as a teaser for possible sequels or future MCU installments; some resolve a dangling plot strand from the preceding movie; some are just a funny gag. The best, as this ranking will hopefully illuminate, are a mix of all three.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A quick word on criteria: This ranking includes any scene that plays after the end of an MCU title, usually mid-credits scenes (which play after the main title cards but before the final credits scroll) and end-credits scenes (which play after all the credits have rolled). Occasionally, this also includes scenes that play after the movie is over but before the credits have started. For Marvel\u2019s Disney Plus series, the list only includes post-credits scenes that play after season or series finales. All the scenes have been ranked by how well they tease an upcoming title in the MCU, how surprising or revelatory they are, and by how fun they are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And finally, yes, this whole thing is silly. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slides\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical__slide-wrapper\" data-slide-id=\"1235102345\" data-slide-index=\"0\" data-slide-position-display=\"52\">\n<article class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__header\">\n<article class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-featured-image__description\">\n<p>Director Joss Whedon didn\u2019t want a post-credits scene on his second \u201cAvengers\u201d movie, but Marvel Studios tacked on this hasty nothingburger anyway \u2014 a lame reminder that, yes, Thanos (Josh Brolin) is still out there, and, of course, he wants the Infinity Stones, and, duh, he\u2019s gonna collect them himself.

Venom sees Tom Holland\u2019s Peter Parker on the TV, a person he\u2019s never met before, and he licks the screen \u2014 implying, if not outright promising, that Hardy\u2019s Venom would show up in \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d and finally tussle with our favorite neighborhood Spider-Man.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2026did not happen. Instead, we get Eddie in this mid-credits scene, sitting in the hotel bar, as the bartender (Cristo Fern\u00e1ndez of \u201cTed Lasso\u201d) fills him in on everything that\u2019s happened in the MCU: Iron Man, Thor, Thanos, infinity stones, etc. Just when Eddie is ready to go meet Spider-Man, he\u2019s pulled back into his universe. Sure, he leaves a drop of Venom symbiote goo behind, suggesting a future Spider-Man vs. Venom showdown. And yeah, it\u2019s an aptly\u00a0<em>sad trombone<\/em>\u00a0joke that Hardy\u2019s Eddie would hop into the MCU but never actually\u00a0<em>do<\/em>\u00a0anything.

When \u201cVol. 2\u201d first opened, writer-director James Gunn\u00a0hinted\u00a0that he had big plans at least for Stakar, and possibly the rest of this alt-Guardians crew, but whether that would be in \u201cVol. 3\u201d or another project remains to be seen.

Jonah Jameson, played by J.K. Simmons reprising his role from the Tobey Maguire \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies, albeit re-imagined not as a newspaper editor-in-chief, but as the proprietor of a fringe conspiracy website. The implications of this casting sent fans\u2019 heads spinning and set the stage for the multiverse-mixing escapades of \u201cNo Way Home,\u201d not to mention the \u201cDoctor Strange\u201d sequel, the \u201cLoki\u201d Disney Plus series, and who knows what else is to come.
