No, I think the subject matter of the film was such that it didn’t feel appropriate to have, then, a stinger.”Black Panther 2 will be the first Marvel movie to omit a post-credit scene since Avengers: Endgame.This made sense narratively, considering Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had suffered some big losses while fighting off Thanos. As a result, any further scenes would have dampened the iconic ending to the series.Moore went on: “Much like [Avengers:] Endgame felt like an emotional experience that you also didn’t need a stinger at the end of this. This felt like we just wanted to tell the story as it was conceived without an added bonus. So, unfortunately, there isn’t an end credits [scene].” (Via Collider)READ MORE: Black Panther 2’s original Chadwick Boseman script was a Marvel first Avengers Endgame didn’t have a post-credit scene (Image: MARVEL)Wakanda Forever is due to be the beginning of a lot of different stories, while the end to one enormous one.This will be the first film in the MCU to address the real-life death of Chadwick Boseman.
