10 Movie Post-Credits Scenes That Lied

10. Monica Fuentes Is Coming Back - Fast Five

Fast Five may be one of the strongest entries into the franchise, but it also commits arguably one of its greatest sins, by implying the return of a legacy character which ultimately never came to pass.

Its mid-credits scene sees Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) being handed a dossier by Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes), who previously appeared as the female lead way back in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Beyond the dossier revealing that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) was still alive, the scene seemed to suggest that Fuentes was making a return to the franchise, and would be back for future sequels in some capacity.

But lo and behold, four mainline movies have released in the decade-plus since this scene dropped and Eva Mendes' spunky federal agent has yet to resurface.

Ultimately Mendes chose to retire from acting a few years after Fast Five's release to raise her family, though Vin Diesel has hinted more recently that she could end up finally returning in the series' upcoming two-part finale.

As it stands, though, this post-credits scene felt like an outright confirmation that Monica was back, only for her to vanish without a trace immediately afterwards.
