Thunderbolts* Post-Credits Scene Filmed Just Weeks Before Release – Directed by The Russo Brothers!
Marvel fans, get ready for another exciting twist in the MCU! In a surprising reveal, it has been confirmed that the post-credits scene for Thunderbolts was filmed just four weeks before the movie’s release—and it was directed by none other than The Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War, Endgame)!
This last-minute addition has sparked massive speculation about what this scene could entail and how it might set up future Marvel storylines. Here’s everything we know so far.
Why Was the Post-Credits Scene Filmed So Late?
Marvel Studios is known for keeping future plot details under wraps, often filming additional scenes late in production to avoid leaks. Given that Thunderbolts* is expected to play a major role in the MCU’s Phase 5 and beyond, it makes sense that Marvel would hold off on finalizing the post-credits scene until closer to release.
The involvement of The Russo Brothers suggests that this scene could be a major setup for an upcoming Avengers-level event, possibly Avengers: Secret Wars or another crossover storyline.
What Could the Post-Credits Scene Tease?
While details remain tightly guarded, here are some possibilities:
- A Major Villain Reveal – Could we see the introduction of a new big bad, like Doctor Doom or Mephisto?
- A Returning MCU Hero – Perhaps a surprise cameo from an old fan favorite (Deadpool, Wolverine, or even Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man in a multiverse twist?).
A Thunderbolts Twist – The team’s mission might not go as planned, setting up a future conflict.
A Direct Lead-In to Brave New World or Secret Wars – Given the Russos’ history with Avengers films, this scene could be a major setup for the next saga.
Why The Russo Brothers’ Involvement Matters
The Russos haven’t directed an MCU project since Avengers: Endgame, so their return—even for a short scene—hints at something big. Could this be a test run for them helming Secret wars? Fans have been clamoring for their return, and this might be Marvel’s way of teasing their future involvement.
Final Thoughts
With Thunderbolts* shaping up to be a pivotal entry in the MCU, this last-minute post-credits scene adds even more excitement. The Russos’ involvement suggests that whatever comes after the movie could be game-changing.
Stay tuned for more Marvel updates—and remember, always stay until the very end of the credits!
