The first scene features an angry Norman Osborn visiting Doctor Octopus, hinting at a possible collaboration against Spider-Man. The second scene introduces Cindy Moon, also known as Silk, who has a connection to Peter Parker and may play a larger role in future installments.

Diablo 4's secret post-credits scenes are teasing the big bads of the two upcoming expansions, with the first three believed to show Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, and the fourth possibly showing Lucion, Mephisto's son and brother to Lillith, the primary antagonist of Diablo 4. Fans are trying to predict the next apocalypse based on these scenes.
The post-credits scenes in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" introduce a new team of Guardians led by Rocket Raccoon and tease the return of Star-Lord. However, the film is disconnected from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe post-"Avengers: Endgame," and several of the teased sequels have not been officially confirmed. Marvel's rapid expansion on Disney+ and the exits of key stars have left the MCU feeling like "sprawl without a center," and the studio must navigate superhero fatigue and declining box office returns.
The post-credits scenes of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" reveal a new team of Guardians led by Rocket, including a rescued girl named Phyla, who may have ties to the upcoming film "The Marvels."

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks the end of the road for the current roster of the Guardians, but the group itself will continue to exist in some form.

The post-credits scene shows Peter Quill visiting his grandfather and ends with the title card "The legendary Star-Lord will return," hinting at a possible fourth Guardians of the Galaxy movie or appearances in other MCU films.
Director James Gunn has confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will have two post-credits scenes, similar to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Unlike previous Marvel films, the content of the post-credits scenes is not expected to set up the next chapter of the franchise, as this will be the last film in James Gunn's Guardians series and not all of the characters are expected to survive. The film is set to release on May 5th.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has two post-credits scenes, one featuring Bowser singing his unrequited love for Peach while still trapped in his bottle prison, and the other teasing a specific Yoshi egg that might have a larger role in a hypothetical sequel.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods has two post-credits scenes, one featuring a crossover with Peacemaker and the Justice Society, and the other teasing the return of villain Mister Mind. The scenes connect Shazam! to the larger DC universe and hint at potential future storylines. The Justice Society was last seen in Black Adam, and Mister Mind is a classic Shazam villain. Plans for a third Shazam! movie have yet to be announced.
