Marvel Studios has developed a distinct habit of leaving audiences hanging.
Marvel Studios has not been diligent about tying up its post-credits-related loose ends.
17 years in, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become nothing short of a sprawling epic.
Worsening matters, most of these scenes also stand little chance of being developed further.
He’s approached by a hooded figure.
Pangborn’s original, grievous injuries return.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - Start Lining up Our Buyers.
In that film, she aided Steve Rogers by returning his shield after it was confiscated by officials.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - “A Message to Where?”
Wong mystically examined the Ten Rings while Carol Danvers and Dr. Bruce Banner looked on remotely.
Eternals - Your Friends Are in Big Trouble.
And We Know Where To Find Them.
But Eros comes bearing good news: Those other Eternals that Thena and company were searching for?
He knows where they are.
Sadly, a sequel toEternalsmay never materialize, leaving this tease up in the air.
Surely, Marvel would want to capitalize on a popular performer like Styles, though.
Eternals - Sure Youre Ready for That, Mr. Whitman?
The secondEternalsstinger concerned Dane Whitman, who was seen sporadically throughout the film.
Dane stands in his London office, in front of an antique crate.
He anxiously opens the box, and there sits the Ebony Blade.
The voice belonged to none other than Mahershala Ali’s Blade.
Marvel Studios’Bladefilm has remained in development for over five years, with no hope of rescue anytime soon.
Moon Knight - Meet My Friend, Jake Lockley.
TheMoon Knightseries is yet another MCU project to fall victim to Unresolved Post-Credits Scene Syndrome.
Inside the limo, Harrow comes face-to-beak with Khonshu, for whom he was once an avatar.
Khonshi ominously states that Marc Spector is even more"troubled"than he realizes.
He orders his son Hercules (Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein) to hunt Thor down and end him.
And so,Love and Thunderadds another likely-forgotten story thread to the pile.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Theyre Beginning To Touch the Multiverse.
This poses a great danger to their power.
As a result, the studio likely has no further plans for Kang unless the character is recast.

Is There Still Hope for These MCU Plot Threads?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is continually expanding.
Whether Marvel will seize these opportunities is a much different story, however.
Multiple MCU characters will coalesce in the newAvengersfilms, due out in 2026 and 2027.
These films offer fertile ground to at least partially fill in some of the more outstanding post-credits gaps.
But as always with upcoming MCU offerings, this remains to be seen.
