Thunderbolts* began arriving in theaters yesterday before beginning its international rollout this morning (the latest MCU movie starts playing in North America later this afternoon).\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, you shouldn’t need us to tell you to wait through the credits. As a reminder, Thunderbolts* has mid and post-credits scenes, though the latter has broken an interesting Marvel Studios record.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 2 minutes and 54 seconds long, it’s officially the longest post-credits scene of any MCU release.<\/strong><\/p>\n Most hover somewhere around the 1-minute mark, typically running for no more than 90 seconds. However,\u00a0with a few\u00a0huge movies on the horizon, Marvel Studios needed to use Thunderbolts* to lay the groundwork for what’s next.\u00a0<\/p>\n Should the scene have been included in the movie itself? That argument could be made for any stinger, and if audiences don’t know by now to stick around, then that’s surely on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you simply cannot wait, we have a full breakdown of both stingers here<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Talking at Thunderbolts*’s global press conference earlier this week, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige teased, “The Avengers movies are always about incredible actors who have never met before on screen meeting for the first time and interacting in ways that they\u2019ve never interacted before. That\u2019s my favourite part of Avengers movies.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “There\u2019s already been a little taste of that with some of [this cast],” <\/strong>he said of how this movie compares.\u00a0“That\u2019s what\u2019s next, and it\u2019s very exciting.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you looking forward to seeing the Thunderbolts assemble on screen this weekend?<\/p>\n
