If you were waiting for a “proper” post-credits scene for Avengers: Endgame and was disappointed, then here’s some news for you. The epic finale to the Infinity Saga finally gets a post-credits scene. Now, if you’re a fan, you’ve probably already seen it, though. Endgame’s new post-credits scene is the second trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home. And if you’ve seen it, you know it’s full of spoilers and Easter eggs about Endgame, so it seems like a proper thing to tack onto the end of the film. So, if you’re catching Endgame for the first time or heading into theatres for the nth time, then now you know you can stay to the end for a post-credits scene.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ could’ve been called ‘Infinity Gauntlet’

Would the impact have been the same impact if Avengers: Endgame was titled as Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet? Or did that make it seem so obvious? According to Joe Russo’s interview with Josh Horowitz on MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, the latter was the chosen title for “quite a long time.” And while it does seem like a fitting title for the movie, perhaps wanted to keep this major plot point out of the title to keep the mystery going.

Also, how would you have felt if Endgame was a two-part film? Perhaps it wouldn’t have the same impact, either. Thankfully, the production team were just joking about doing this. Russo said, “We used to joke about [splitting the movies in two] all the time. Because Alan Horn at Disney had overseen Lord of the Rings and he used to joke about it. Like, three hour movie, just cut it in half. I don’t know that it would have achieved this kind of success had we split it up.” The movie has broken box office records left and right and has reached the US$2.188 billion mark globally in its second weekend, making it the second-highest grossing movie of all time. It beats out Titanic in just 11 days as well as Avatar, which hit the $2 billion mark in 47 days.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ earns a whopping US$1.2 billion on its opening weekend

Marvel

With the hype surrounding it and just legions upon legions of fans who support the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it comes as no surprise that Avengers: Endgame has smashed box office records and pulled in US$1.2 billion globally during its opening weekend. This makes Endgame the eighth MCU film to hit the billion-dollar mark. It is the fastest any film has ever earned that much, though. Disney’s franchise films have steadily dominated the box offices when they come out. Last year’s Avengers: Infinity War earned $630 million during its opening weekend and became the fastest movie ever to cross the $1 billion mark.

The Chinese box office helped make the record happen as the opening weekend pulled in $329 million in the country. Infinity War premiered a couple of weeks later. With the film figuring as the culmination of the last 22 MCU films, it seems fitting that it is being received as well as it is. According to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, there are at least 20 films coming up that are “completely different from anything that’s come before.”
