Is there a post-credits scene in The Marvels?

If you're wondering whether The Marvels boasts a post-credits sequence, and what it could mean for the future of the MCU, here's everything you need to know.

Is there a post-credits scene in The Marvels?

Yes – there is one bonus scene after the initial closing credits in The Marvels, but nothing more when the final credits have finished rolling.

The scene is one that has very major repercussions for the MCU as a whole, and is likely to induce more than a few shocked gasps and excited shouts from audience members.

If you want to know more, read on for full details – but beware that there are spoilers from this point onwards.

What happens in The Marvels post-credits scene?

The scene picks up with Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) after she has been trapped in a different universe while attempting to fix the incursion that Dar-Benn had caused during the ending of the film.

At first glance, it looks like she has been reunited with her mother Maria – played once again by Lashana Lynch – but on closer inspection it is shown that something more complicated is at play.

They are clearly in some kind of hospital, and soon a doctor walks in whose identity will cause much excitement among Marvel fans: it's Hank McCoy/Beast, once again portrayed by Kelsey Grammer, who previously starred as the character in both X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

In conversation with Maria, Beast mentions Charles Xavier, and so it seems that Marvel is very much paving the way for more X-Men appearances.

To complicate matters further, when Beast leaves the room and Monica tells Maria how great it is to be reunited with her mother, the latter appears very confused – as we are now in a parallel universe where Maria has never had a child.

One thing is for sure, the MCU has just got a whole lot more complicated...
