‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Won’t Get a Post-Credits Scene, Says Joss Whedon

“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which is due to open at North American theaters May 1, is going a different direction than its predecessors by taking out the usual post-credits scene audiences have come to expect from a Marvel superhero movie.

Marvel head, Kevin Feige and the film’s director, Whedon were trying to come up with ways to top the epic shawarma scene that postscripted “The Avengers,” but decided to take another path based on what they felt to be true and right.

While the upcoming Marvel superhero action adventure will be dispensing with a post-credits scene, Feige told EW.com they were putting in a tag – a short epilogue-like sequence that will be appearing just after the credits begin to roll.

“And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon clarified to EW.com. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go, ‘Son of a b—-! I’ll kill them!'”

Feige also discredited rumors Captain Marvel would be making an appearance in “Age of Ultron,” but did hint of a secret female character that fans may already be familiar with.

The secrets and hints have continued to roll out, including the reveal of who and what Vision really is. Marvel recently released a poster showing a full body render of Vision, one of the most important characters to have a big impact on the plot of the film. In earlier promotions of the film, Vision had only been shown in a brief millisecond during one of the trailers for the movie.

With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” just three weeks away, audiences may have to brace themselves for more surprising reveals as Marvel preps them to receive the 11th blockbuster installment from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.
