Ant-Man and the Wasp
The sequel to Ant-Man ended on quite the dramatic note as the end-credits scene tied into Avengers: Infinity War, although the second one was quite fun. It ends with a giant ant playing some drums.
Guardians of the Galaxy
The first Guardians of the Galaxy had two post-credit scenes that were played off as jokes. The first being the dance of baby Groot, but the audiences expected the second one to set up something huge. Rather, we got a scene with Howard the Duck and Cosmo the dog.
Thor: The Dark World
The sequel to Thor again featured a hilarious post-credits scene. After we see Thor return to Earth and embraces Jane Foster, in the background we can see a flock of birds trying to escape a Frost Beast.
Thor: Ragnarok
Thor: Ragnarok was another film that ended on quite the ominous tone while the second end-credit scene was just played for laughs. Featuring the Grandmaster as he declares the revolution of Sakaar a draw, it was hilarious seeing knowing that at least Jeff Goldblum survives.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Now many people might be thinking that why would this entry be a troll? Well, before the release of the film Marvel apparently made it clear that the film wouldn’t have any post-credits scene. Now that didn’t turn out to be true as Thanos literally shows up out of nowhere and puts on the Infinity Gauntlet.
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel set quite a tease for Avengers: Endgame, but its second end-credits scene was hilarious and cute. It featured the alien cat Goose, who jumped around in Nick Fury’s office and spits out the Tesseract.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, we see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock transported into the MCU, only for Spider-Man: No Way Home to throw him out of it again in like five minutes. While it does set up a symbiote storyline, it was hilarious to see Marvel play with fans expectations who though Tom Hardy would be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Iron Man 3
Iron Man 3 featured a major cameo from Mark Ruffalo who returned to portray Bruce Banner here. Instead of setting up a future film, he is just there listening to Tony recite the events of the movie, only thing being that he was asleep for the majority of it.
Avengers
After the great and crow pleasing Thanos tease, Marvel trolled its fans by paying off a joke that was set up at the end of the film. There is just something so calming about watching the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes sitting in a restaurant and enjoying some shawarma.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
To finish off the list we are taking the post-credit scene that had the best troll of them all. The post-credits scene features Captain America come on the screen and talk to the audience about patience. This was the first Marvel has been meta about the movie ending, and it worked extremely well.
