A staple of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, stingers are generally used to build up continuity, but are just as often used to simply troll the audience. They are so common in the MCU that they have come to be expected by audiences:
* In the first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie, Nick Fury (played by Creator/SamuelLJackson) talks with Tony Stark about the "Avenger Initiative".
* In ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', Tony Stark shows up to discuss with General Ross about a certain team that's getting together. Technically, it's not after the credits -- just the final scene of the movie. WordOfGod says it ''was'' originally supposed to be a stinger, but ExecutiveMeddling pushed it forward. ''Film/TheConsultant'' short shows that this was set up specifically to ''block'' what they were talking about from happening.
* ''Film/IronMan2'' ends with Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. arriving at a massive crater in New Mexico. He calls Nick Fury and says that "We've found it." -- "it" being Film/{{Thor}}'s Hammer.
* ''Film/{{Thor}}'' has Nick Fury showing Dr. Selvig the Tesseract in his possession. Unbeknownst to him is that Selvig is possessed by Loki....
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' dispensed with the subtlety and showed a trailer for ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', showing all the characters and revealing Loki as one of the main villains.
* ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has a mid-credits scene revealing TheManBehindTheMan who gave Loki his scepter and the Chitauri army to command is Thanos. And after the full credits, there's a scene showing the team tiredly and quietly eating lunch at a shawarma place Tony suggested.
* ''Film/IronMan3'' has some good comedic competition for ''The Avengers''; the film began with Tony [[FramingDevice narrating]] the events seemingly to the audience, but the stinger reveals that he's pouring his heart out to [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] -- ''who's fallen asleep.'' He wakes up to Tony's exasperation, but Banner just apologetically points out that he's NotThatKindOfDoctor.
* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' is like ''The Avengers'', in that it has a mid-credits serious scene and a post-credits humorous scene. The mid-credits scene has Volstagg and Sif giving [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy The Collector]] the Aether for safekeeping and revealing that it and the previous movies' Tesseract are [[ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet Infinity Stones]], while the post-credits scene has Thor and Jane reuniting on Earth... and the Ice Beast that ended up on Earth during the final fight still loose, chasing pigeons.
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' also has two separate stingers. The mid-credits scene shows Baron Strucker observing a captive Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, as well as Loki's scepter, setting up ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. The post-credits scene shows the Winter Soldier visiting the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian, implying that his memory is returning.
* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' has just one: a battered Collector sitting in his hideout, getting licked by Cosmo the Spacedog and listening to the chatter of one of his specimens: ComicBook/HowardTheDuck!
* A mid-credits scene in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' has Thanos taking the Infinity Gauntlet and deciding that he'll have to take all of the Infinity Stones himself (this was later declared [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] by the directors of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar).'' However, it's also the first film since ''The Incredible Hulk'' to ''not'' feature a post-credits scene.
* ''Film/AntMan1'' returns to the mid-credits and post-credits model. One scene shows Hope van Dyne getting her own suit and becoming the new Wasp. The other shows Captain America and ComicBook/TheFalcon locating ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, who is stuck to some sort of contraption. Falcon then mentions that he knows a guy (Ant-Man) who could help them out.
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'''s mid-credits scene shows [[spoiler: Bucky willingly deciding to be frozen again until a cure is found to free himself from Hydra's mind control program, with T'Challa/Black Panther providing him a much needed safe and secret haven inside his headquarters in Wakanda.]] The post-credits scene shows Peter Parker/Spider-Man in his room, activating a gadget Tony Stark offered him. He is amusingly telling half-lies about "a guy from Brooklyn named Steve and another huge guy" to Aunt May to explain his bruised face. It concludes with a James Bond-esque phrase: "Spider-Man will return".
* The mid-credits scene in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' has [[spoiler: Strange agreeing to [[Film/ThorRagnarok help Thor and Loki find Odin]]]]. The post-credits scene shows [[spoiler:Mordo's descent into evil as he steals the magic that Jonathan Pangborn was using to keep walking, as Mordo decides there are "too many sorcerers."]]
* Taken UpToEleven -- [[ExaggeratedTrope even by MCU standards!]] -- with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', as the movie has no less than '''five''' scenes during and after the credits (many of these are just throwaway gags, however):
** Kraglin practices how to use [[spoiler:Yondu's Yaka Arrow, only to accidentally stab Drax in the neck]].
** In the aftermath of [[spoiler:Yondu's death]], Stakar reassembles his original team, [[spoiler:whom comic fans might recognize as the original Guardians of the Galaxy]].
** Ayesha is in the process of creating the "next step" in the evolution of her people, and [[spoiler:decides to christen said new creation with the name [[ComicBook/AdamWarlock "Adam"]]]].
** Groot, [[spoiler:now having grown to be a teenager]], is scolded by Peter for letting his room on the Ravager dropship become filthy, but ignores Peter in favor of playing a video game. It's implied Peter understands Groot's speech now.
** The Watchers abandon [[spoiler:Creator/StanLee]], leaving him without a way to get back home.
* The mid-credits scene in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' suggests that some of the villains Spidey has stopped so far are interested in teaming up and going after him. The post-credits scene foreshadows [[spoiler:nothing at all. Instead Captain America appears in another educational short like the ones Peter and his classmates watched in school, discussing [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the importance of patience, and how sometimes, it isn't actually rewarded.]]]]
* The mid-credits scene of ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' sees [[spoiler: the Asgardian refugees headed to Earth on a spaceship. Loki points out it might not be the best idea to bring ''him'' with them, but Thor assures him it'll work out...and then a massive ship, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar which we later find out contains Thanos and the Black Order]], appears right in their path.]] The post-credits scene has [[spoiler: the Grandmaster trying to take partial credit for the uprising on Sakaar. After all, you can't have an uprising without someone to rise up ''against'', right?]]
* The mid-credits scene of ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' sees [[spoiler: King T'Challa telling the truth about Wakanda to the United Nations, and pledging to share their resources and technology.]] The post-credits scene has [[spoiler: a few Wakandan children awaken a sleeping Bucky Barnes. He's greeted by Shuri as he walks out, who says there's a lot of things they have to do.]]
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' has a post-credits scene where Nick Fury and Maria Hill are driving and discussing signs that a great battle happened over Wakanda. [[spoiler:Then, due to Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet to randomly kill half the universe's population, random people start disintegrating, causing cars and helicopters to crash. As the survivors panic, the two attempt to help them, but Maria disintegrates. Nick pulls out a pager-like device, but he disintegrates, letting out a "[[CurseCutShort Motherfu-]]" before he goes. The device falls to the ground and shows it sent a message to Captain Marvel.]]
* The mid-credits scene of ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' sees [[spoiler:Scott going to the Quantum Realm in order to collect the materials needed to help Ghost's condition, only to have Hank, Hope, and Janet disintegrate from Thanos randomly killing half of the universe in ''Avengers: Infinity War'' while Scott remains stranded in the Quantum Realm.]] The post-credit scene has the giant ant from the previous ''Ant-Man'' movie [[RunningGag playing the drums]] [[spoiler:[[MoodWhiplash while an emergency broadcast signal is on the television due to the events of Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet.]]]]
* The mid-credits scene of ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' has the [[spoiler:surviving Avengers looking at Fury's mysterious pager as its power seemingly runs out. As Natasha talks about wanting to know who the pager was trying to reach, Captain Marvel suddenly appears behind them asking about Fury's whereabouts.]] The post-credits scene on the other hand [[spoiler:simply shows Goose, the Flerken, coughing up the Tesseract that she had swallowed during the course of the film, onto Fury's desk]].
* ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' has [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope no mid- or post-credits scenes]], befitting its status as the EndOfAnAge. However, after the credits, the sound of [[Film/IronMan1 Tony forging the Iron Man armor from his first film]] is heard, as a CallBack to where it all began.]]
* ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''; In the mid-credits scene, [[spoiler:J. Jonah Jameson ([[RoleReprise once again]] [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy played by]] Creator/JKSimmons) presents Quentin Beck's [[ManipulativeEditing doctored footage]] to the public, exposing Spider-Man's SecretIdentity and framing him for the London attack.]] In the post-credits scene, [[spoiler:Fury and Hill are revealed to be Talos and Soren impersonating them, while the real Fury is on a Skrull spaceship and working with them on an unknown task.]]
