Fan-madeAvengers: Endgamevideo pays tribute to theMCUin the style ofDeadpool & Wolverine’s after-credits homage. With a multiversal plot that officially integrates pre-MCU Marvel properties such as theX-Menfranchise, theFantastic Fourmovies,Blade, andElektra, the likelihood ofDeadpool & Wolverineincluding a significant set-up for future projects in its post-credits scenes seemed to be quite high. However,Deadpool & Wolverine’s first post-credits sceneserves as a tribute to Fox’s Marvel movies, providing them with a touching farewell. The tribute compiles behind-the-scenes footage from multiple Marvel movies produced by Fox, scored to Green Day’s “Good Riddance”.

What The Avengers: Endgame Edit Means For The MCU
Avengers: Endgame’s Post-Credits Tribute Is Significantly Shorter Than Deadpool & Wolverine’s
Avengers: Endgamedoes feature a short post-credits tribute instead of a future project tease. After the main credits roll,Avengers: Endgamepays homage to the original six Avengers with footage from their MCU movie appearances, their silhouette, and their actor’s signature. However,Avengers: Endgame’s post-credits tributemay fall short in retrospect afterDeadpool & Wolverine’s post-credits scene, as the latter shows a side of the MCU that many casual viewers may not be accustomed to seeing. There is still plenty of behind-the-scenes footage from all MCU projects future movies can include in a similar way.
Our Take On The Avengers Endgame Deadpool & Wolverine Style Edit
The MCU Has Yet To Pay Homage To The Infinity Saga’s Behind-The-Scenes On The Big Screen
Deadpool & Wolverine’s post-credits tribute acknowledges oft-criticized movies likeFant4sticandX-Men Origins: Wolverine, showcasing the hard work that went behind them despite their negative reception. Since the MCU’s Infinity Saga was consistently well received for almost a full decade, a theatrically-released behind-the-scenes footage compilation video could have been a welcome addition to a big event likeAvengers: Endgame. Marvel’s next chance to include a similar homage is in2027’sAvengers: Secret Wars, which will culminate the whole Multiverse Saga.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Casting May Be Eclipsing Avengers 6’s Biggest MCU Return
Phase 6’s Avengers: Doomsday will bring Robert Downey Jr. back as Doctor Doom, but Secret Wars could also bring him back in a familiar MCU role.
A post-creditsAvengers: Secret Warscompilation video similar toDeadpool & Wolverine’s mid-credits could also pay homage to Sony’s Marvel movies, which have been just as important to Marvel’s cinematic history. Sam Raimi’sSpider-Mantrilogy and theAmazing Spider-Manmovies not only laid the foundations for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man journey, but they also introduced two Spider-Men who starred together in the MCU’s third highest-grossing movie. If key MCU characters like Chris Evans' Steve Rogers and Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark return through the multiverse, thenAvengers: Secret Warscould present a better tribute thanAvengers: Endgamecould have ever conceived.
