His face is on a Wheaties box! When she leaves it behind, he hardly cares; can\u2019t nobody tell this man <em>nothing<\/em> after he\u2019s been featured by the breakfast of champions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That all feels very quaint for an MCU mid-credits scene after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22744741\/harry-styles-eternals-character-post-credits-scene-pip-starfox\">years and years of endless promises<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24065485\/mcu-post-credits-teases-sequels-rumors\">no payoff<\/a>. Harbour absolutely has Red Guardian\u2019s humor dialed in, and smooshing his face against the cereal box to make sure the connection is clear as day (even though he\u2019s masked and bearded on the box, but unmasked and freshly shaved in real life) is more comedy gold. This mid-credits moment doesn\u2019t <em>need<\/em> to build to anything bigger in Marvel\u2019s universe, because the gravitational pull of Red Guardian\u2019s charisma is that strong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Plus, that\u2019s what the other <em>Thunderbolts* <\/em>credits scene is for.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Does Thunderbolts* have a post-credits scene?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/thunderbolts-post-credits-scenes-are-the-first-real-win-for-marvel-teasers-in-years-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Chuck Zlotnick\/Marvel Studios via Everett Collection\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Yes! And it\u2019s a big one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We jump forward 14 months, where the Team Formerly Known As Thunderbolts have officially been rebranded as The New Avengers, and are living in Avengers Tower. Unfortunately, they are running up against a problem: Sam Wilson, after his exploits in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/522443\/captain-america-brave-new-world-review-harrison-ford\"><em>Captain America: Brave New World<\/em><\/a>, is filing a copyright claim for \u201cthe Avengers.\u201d And as the <em>real<\/em> Captain America, he\u2019s already winning in the court of public opinion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The New Avengers are discussing this, along with how they\u2019re being cut out of assisting with whatever \u201cspace problem\u201d is currently going on, which no one will fill them in on. Red Guardian comes up with the genius rebrand \u201cNew Avengerz\u201d (it\u2019s foolproof; with the Z in place, there\u2019s no justification for a copyright complaint). Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/455057\/sentry-bob-thunderbolts\">Bob<\/a> is chilling in the corner with snacks and a book. (He\u2019s afraid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/trailer\/521268\/thunderbolts-villain-super-bowl-ad-trailer\">The Void<\/a> will return if he tries to use his powers again, so he can\u2019t help much with the space problem.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Then their computers alert them to some sort of multidimensional spacecraft entering Earth\u2019s orbit. As they stare at the screen and go, \u201cMultidimensional spacecraft? What does that even mean?\u201d the answer appears on the screen\u2026 It\u2019s the Fantastic Four\u2019s rocket.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/thunderbolts-post-credits-scenes-are-the-first-real-win-for-marvel-teasers-in-years.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of the Fantastic Four rocket flying at a molten Earth, in a still from the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer\" title=\"A screenshot of the Fantastic Four rocket flying at a molten Earth, in a still from the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"This is a still from the &lt;em&gt;Fantastic Four: First Steps&lt;\/em&gt; trailer, but imagine a rocket ship like this one, but with a clearly emblazoned Fantastic Four logo on it\u2026 | Image: Marvel Studios\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Marvel Studios\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This is exactly the kind of Marvel teaser we <em>really<\/em> haven\u2019t gotten in a minute: An actual tease for a movie that isn\u2019t out yet, but is legitimately on its way. (Coming up next in Marvel\u2019s cinematic release roster, even!) And though this scene is a brief window into what might happen at the end of July\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/518273\/fantastic-four-2025-first-trailer\"><em>Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s an exciting one. Will <em>Fantastic Four<\/em> end with the Four getting bounced to another dimension and having to find their way to the MCU Earth, possibly decades later (and maybe\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23952407\/marvels-mid-credits-scene-beast-x-men-binary\">with some X-Men in tow<\/a>)?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Worth noting here: That \u201c14 months later\u201d timeline seems pretty specific, and it certainly seems to align with the next round of MCU movies in an interesting way. Fourteen months after the release of <em>Thunderbolts*<\/em> would mean this post-credits scene<em> <\/em>is happening just in time for <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/movies\/24203068\/spider-man-brand-new-day-tom-holland-release-date\">Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a><\/em>, which comes out at the end of July 2026. (With <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/547051\/avengers-doomsday-cast-announcement-livestream\">Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> <\/em>due out in May 2026, and <em>Avengers: Secret Wars<\/em> not following along until May 2027.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All of this points to something bigger brewing \u2014 if you didn\u2019t already know a major team-up event was on the horizon, you certainly do now. It\u2019s enticing, especially <em>because<\/em> it will get paid off soon. This has always been the way of Marvel\u2019s post-credit scenes. But lately, they\u2019ve felt different \u2014 more lurchy, if you will \u2014 as they try to build a multiverse through the scheduling madness. While Tony Stark getting his invitation to the Avengers initiative at the end of 2008\u2019s Iron Man wasn\u2019t really paid off until a few movies later, it\u2019s hard to deny that lately, MCU post-credits scenes have felt like too much delayed gratification. That\u2019s because they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23447209\/black-panther-wakanda-forever-post-credits-scene-marvel\">skewed either too small<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/523800\/captain-america-brave-new-worlds-post-credits-scene\">too nebulous<\/a>, or ultimately, because something never really paid off \u2014 either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22836376\/spider-man-no-way-home-post-credits-scenes-venom-doctor-strange\">because the movie it was setting up<\/a> just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvel\/469466\/venom-last-dance-post-credits-scenes-sequel\">dodged the issue<\/a>, or because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23055624\/doctor-strange-2-credits-scene-explained-multiverse-of-madness-end-clea\">MCU <em>still<\/em> hasn\u2019t caught up to it<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Thunderbolts*\u2019 <\/em>post-credit scene feels like a real return to form for the MCU: something with imminent, tangible promise.
