And in the maximalist nature that befits the character, Deadpool 2 had five post-credit scenes when it released theatrically in 2018 - which increased to seven with the Super Duper Cut home release.
When did Marvel films start having post-credit scenes?
The tradition of post-credit scenes dates all the way back to the film that came to launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Iron Man. Hitting cinemas in 2008, fans had not yet been trained to wait all the way through the credits so many likely missed this scene at first.
It saw Samuel L. Jackson making his debut as Nick Fury and visiting Tony Stark to talk about the Avengers initiative. The scene set the template for all future Marvel films - and is one of the most important so far.
