Marvel's “Thunderbolts *“Has been released in the world, which means that it is finally time for this other MCU tradition for a long time – discussing its Post-Credit Scenes.
Directed by Jake Schreier“Thunderbolts *” follows a group of bad guys who have become antihero from disparate corners of the Marvel cinematographic universe, led by Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), because they unite forwards to help save the world.
The film is a return to a familiar form for the constant expansion superhero franchise. It's a classic Marvel team with not so classic characters, especially John Walker (Wyatt Russell) of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier», Ava Starr Aka Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) Since “Ant-man and the wasp», Alexei Shostakov (David Harbor) Since “Black widow“, Antonia Dreykov alias Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) of” Black Widow “and the new character Bob (Lewis Pullman).
In another return in shape, “Thunderbolts *” offers two scenes of final credits. The first, a scene of average credits, offers an overview of how life has changed for the newly created superhero team now that they are not dishonored by former heroes or mercenaries operating in the shadows. Alexei, also known as Red Guardian, stops a client in the cereal aisle of a grocery store to attract attention to a box featuring the new Avengers. Alexei's American dream to be on a box of wheat has finally come true. However, if the team has been accepted by Le Monde is another question.
The second scene, which is shown after the end of complete credits, is the most important of the two because it teases what will come for the superhero team as well as the MCU.
