Showrunner Jac Schaeffer teases the possibility of WandaVision having a post-credits scene. The Marvel Studios show has already released three episodes out of its confirmed nine, and its narrative is becoming clearer week after week. As it approaches its midpoint, there's an understandable interest in knowing whether or not it will also feature a stinger, much like most of its movie counterparts.
Long before the MCU, post-credits scenes were already a thing in Hollywood, with films such as 1979's The Muppets Movie, 1980's Airplane! and 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, including a surprise tag after the credits have rolled. That said, it was Marvel Studios that popularized the concept starting with 2008's Iron Man when Nick Fury showed up looking for Tony Stark. The franchise mostly uses these stingers to set-up what comes next in their interconnected storytelling. Naturally, it's curious if their small-screen endeavors on Disney+ will also abide by this tradition.
Speaking with ET, Schaeffer was asked about the possibility. While she didn't confirm or deny the existence of a post-credits scene at the end of WandaVision, she said that they did consider including them in every episode. She also said that it's best to watch the show all the way through, much like movie-goers do when seeing an MCU movie.
We looked at the show in a lot of different ways and a lot of different structural ways, but yeah. That's a tricky question and I'm having trouble dodging it. [Laughs]
I would say that in any Marvel property, you should watch the thing in its entirety, no matter what. That's what I would say.
WandaVision star Paul Bettany revealed recently that Marvel Studios was planning a post-credit scene in Avengers: Endgame to set up WandaVision. Ultimately, however, this was scrapped — a decision made by MCU architect Kevin Feige, and frankly, it was for the best since the film was the end of the Infinity Saga. Instead, the movie just harkened back to its roots by playing the sound of Tony creating the Mark I while in captivity in Afghanistan. Since the franchise is about to build a new narrative, having post-credits scenes back makes sense. If anything, they're needed more than ever to connect the TV and movie pockets of the MCU.
Assuming that WandaVision does have a post-credits scene, chances are that it will set-up Wanda's eventual appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and potentially, even Spider-Man 3. Elizabeth Olsen recently teased that her character might make a cameo in the Jon Watts and Tom Holland-led film, which is not outside the realm of possibility considering that all three aforementioned projects deal with MCU's multiverse. Perhaps it might even lead to Loki since that show, too, deals with alternate realities.
