10 Comic Book Movie Post-Credits Scenes That Changed Everything

Throughout the movies of the MCU, the DCU, and beyond, there are a number of post-credits scenes that shook up their franchise or the superhero genre as a whole. Though they were undoubtedly popularized by the movies of the MCU, post-credits scenes have been a staple of superhero cinema across multiple franchises for a number of years. As a result, using post-credits scenes to either offer up a final gag or a teaser for an upcoming movie within the same franchise has become standard practice for comic book movies.
However, not all post-credits scenes are equal in their importance. A select few have marked a moment of massive change for their franchise or for the entire genre, with the post-credits scenes of the MCU, the DCEU, and beyond all having had a major impact on occasion. With that in mind, here are 10 comic book movie post-credits scenes that changed everything.
10 Hitler & Lenin Meet The King’s Man (2021) There are many types of post-credits scenes, but most are either jokes or directly set up a future story or character. However, The King’s Man’s post-credits scene appeared to do both at once, setting up a sequel to the prequel with a satirical scene introducing a new character. The scene shows the film’s villain meeting with Vladimir Lenin and introducing him to the newest member of their secret organization, who reveals himself to be none other than Adolf Hitler.
As well as setting up a sequel, the scene was clearly written to poke fun at the nature of modern post-credits scenes. By making a joke of the practice, The King’s Man subtly changed things by forcing its audience to consider how silly such scenes can seem when presented in a serious manner. Though the changes it inspired might not be obvious, it certainly challenged its audience’s perception of what a comic book movie post-credits scene should be.
