Should we stay at the end of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse for one or two additional scenes? The answer without spoilers on the film.
It’s the tradition of Marvel movies: they end with post-credits scenes. Except that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is not totally a Marvel film – even if the characters are part of this stable –, since it is produced by Sony. It doesn’t belong in the MCU per se (the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Should we still stay after the credits for additional scenes?
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse shows nothing more
The answer is clear: there is no post-credits scene in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. None. And it’s rather good news, since it avoids pulling too much on the rope or betting on a possible gag that would spoil the intensity of the end. An additional sequence — you will fully understand this when you leave the room — would completely spoil the effect. It is, moreover, not unpleasant to see a super-heroic film not resorting to this stratagem.
In the previous installment, Spider-Man Next Generation, there had been a post-credits scene, very short, which introduced Miguel O’Hara (or Spider-Man 2099), central character of this sequel. This time, after the first credits, there is just a screen announcing the third film of the saga to those who were not already aware, and confirming its title: Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. At present, this direct sequel to the adventures of Miles and Gwen is scheduled for March 2024 (note that a spin-off dedicated to Gwen and other female Spideys is also scheduled around 2025).
Even without scenes at the end, we advise you to stay at least for the first credits. Like the film, it is the subject of careful aesthetic work, which is therefore to be enjoyed until the end.
