Who and what is in it
Does Doomsday have a post-credits scene?
Does Avengers: Doomsday have a post-credits scene? Marvel films almost always do - here's what to expect, how many to watch for, and why it will set up Secret Wars.
Short version: stay in your seat. Marvel hasn’t skipped a credits sting since 2008, and Doomsday has a specific job to do on the way out - hand the baton to Secret Wars. But here’s the wild part most people don’t realise: this movie’s post-credits web has already started spinning in another film.
The stinger that leaked into Thunderbolts
When Thunderbolts* hit cinemas in 2025, its credits scene teased the arrival of a mysterious ship and the team’s rebrand toward a “New Avengers” future. According to the Thunderbolts team, that scene was actually shot for Avengers: Doomsday - a piece of this film’s setup, deployed early to plant the connective tissue.
That tells you how seriously Marvel is treating Doomsday’s stingers: they’re not afterthoughts, they’re load-bearing. Which all but guarantees the film itself ends on at least one scene pointing straight at the 2027 finale.
What to actually watch for
No reactions exist yet, so this is informed reading of the tea leaves:
- A mid-credits scene doing the heavy lifting - a first look at Battleworld, an incursion, or Doom’s next move.
- A survivor beat confirming who lived - and how the fight-back begins.
- Possibly a lighter post-credits tag to send the crowd out buzzing.
The spoiler bit
Until the film screens there’s no scene to describe - but the moment credible reactions land, we’ll drop a full spoiler-tagged breakdown here. For the wider argument, see will there be a post-credits scene.
Where it lands: effectively guaranteed. Don’t leave early - and don’t be shocked if what you see connects back to a scene Marvel already showed you.
