There’s some good news for anyone seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1. You can leave right when the credits start rolling. That’s because writer/director Joss Whedon and Marvel have confirmed that there will not be an extra scene after the credits are over.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Whedon said that they could not think of a surprise worthy enough to top the shawarma scene at the end of The Avengers.
“We all came at it separately—we don’t want to chase that,” the director told EW. “That was a jewel and a weird little quirk.”
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that there will still be a scene when the credits begin, but nothing like the short little gags that Marvel usually throws in after the credits are finished. “There will be a tag... but there’s not a post-post-credit scene,” Feige said.
“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon added. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go: ‘Son of a b**ch! I’ll kill them!’”
Marvel has been adding post-credit sequence to films since Iron-Man in 2008 to tease the next movie or just as a gag at the end.
Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1. Marvel is already planning the next Avengers movies, with Joe and Anthony Russo picked to direct Infinity War - Part 1 and Part 2.
