Geeks, if you’re planning to watch Thunderbolts and haven’t seen the movie and the credit scene yet, consider this your spoiler alert! This article explores the intriguing details of the mid-credit and post-credit scenes from Thunderbolts, shedding light on exciting developments and their potential impacts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). These teasers hint at connections to major upcoming films, notably The Fantastic Four: First Step and Avengers: Doomsday, signaling significant shifts and deeper narratives ahead.
Contrasting Thunderbolts Credit Scenes
The Thunderbolts credit scene comes in two parts with vastly different tones. The mid-credit sequence is a comedic interlude, while the post-credit moment sets up high-stakes drama with multiversal implications. This approach reflects Marvel’s signature style of mixing lighthearted fun with serious narrative expansion.
In the first Thunderbolts credit scene, we find Red Guardian in a grocery store trying to promote a cereal brand that proudly displays the Thunderbolts—now branding themselves as “The New Avengers.” His over-the-top pitch to a confused customer eventually fails, as she leaves the cereal behind and exits. This moment serves no direct plot purpose but provides a dose of levity following the film’s more intense ending.
The second Thunderbolts credit scene takes a far more consequential turn. Set 14 months after the main events, it introduces the Thunderbolts’ new base and a legal dilemma involving Sam Wilson (Captain America). He has filed a lawsuit to stop them from using the Avengers name, stirring internal debate about the team’s identity and direction.
As this argument unfolds, a spacecraft with the unmistakable Fantastic Four symbol breaches Earth’s atmosphere. This surprise entrance suggests massive changes ahead and introduces multiverse-level stakes that could define the next MCU era. The post-credit Thunderbolts credit scene is more than just a teaser—it’s a critical moment that repositions the team within a rapidly evolving universe.
