The best post-credits scenes in superhero movies

Top10Casinos can reveal that the post-credits scene in 2021’s Eternals is the most searched-for out of any superhero movie, with an average of close to 114,000 global monthly searches. This may come as a surprise to many - Eternals, after all, is the lowest-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie of all time, currently sitting at a 6.3 out of 10 on IMDb and 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. But perhaps this result makes sense. Many avoided watching the movie due to the poor reception it received, and so it is likely that a higher number of Marvel fans opted instead to search for the post-credits scene online. Those who did were rewarded with not one, but two scenes. The mid-credit easter egg features a surprise appearance from none other than popstar Harry Styles, debuting in his role as Eros. The final post-credits scene, for its part, teases the forthcoming introduction of Mahershala Ali’s Blade into the MCU.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

The release of Spider-Man: No Way Home was one of the biggest cinematic events in recent memory, so it is no wonder that the movie’s post-credit scene is the second most searched-for out of any superhero movie, with a global monthly total of over 112,000 searches. Much like Eternals, No Way Home features two scenes after the movie’s end. The first is a continuation of the surprise end credits scene in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, introducing the symbiote antihero, a property of Sony Pictures, into a shared universe with the MCU. The second post-credits scene is a trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was released earlier this year.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

In third place is Venom: Let There Be Carnage, with a global monthly total of over 108,000 searches for its post-credits scene. The second instalment in the Venom franchise is the first movie in the table to not technically be part of the MCU, distributed instead by Sony Pictures. However, this division was blurred with the post-credits scene in the movie, in which it is insinuated that Venom will join the MCU multiverse and meet Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in the near future.

The Batman (2022)

2022’s The Batman takes fourth place, with a global monthly total of over 100,000 searches for its post-credits scene. The first DC entry on the table, Matt Reeves’ project was met with rave reviews from audiences and critics alike for its stylistic take on Gotham’s caped crusader. Interestingly, the film does not feature any actual post-credits scene. Instead, its credits promote the website belonging to villain The Riddler, www.rataalada.com. Viewers who visited the site after the movie and navigated its many stages of cryptic clues and ciphers would be able to find an exclusive deleted scene, featuring an eerie glimpse at Barry Keoghan’s new Joker.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings follows closely in fifth, also boasting over 100,000 global monthly searches for its post-credits scenes. The first shows sorcerer Wong introducing our titular hero to The Avengers, whilst the second follows Shang-Chi’s sister Xialing as she takes charge of their father’s Ten Rings organisation, likely setting up a future sequel.
