Avengers: Age of Ultron Will Have a Tag But No Post-Credits Scene

If there’s something you can count on with Marvel Studios movies, it’s that there will be a sequence during the credits of the film teasing the future of the franchise, and sometimes two of them, but the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron will not have one at the very end.

EW spoke with both writer/director Joss Whedon as well as producer and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige who revealed that they couldn’t figure out a way to out do the fan favorite “shawarma scene” from the first film.

“We all came at it separately—we don’t want to chase that,” Whedon says. “That was a jewel and a weird little quirk.”

“There will be a tag,” Feige clarifies, revealing a short scene will appear mid-credits. “But there’s not a post-post-credit scene.”

“There is nothing at the very end. And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon says. “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 confirms that despite rumors of an appearance, Captain Marvel will not be appearing in the film ahead of her solo film set for November 2, 2018. 

In other “Avengers” news, a new “world tour” featurette for the film has debuted online which you can check out in the player below. 

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963.
