10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part

Sony may have long been the home of the most iconic spy movie franchise in history, but it is not all unmitigated success in this area. For lack of a better word, Matthew Vaughn's Argylle was simply weird, and underwhelmed in just about every aspect.

The film followed the story of Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), author of the Argylle novel series, as real life events and those of her fictional works began to run parallel to each other. As part of the marketing for the movie, Conway's in-universe first Argylle novel was released, and quite ironically would have made for a better building block from which to start a franchise.

Simply this was an origin story for Aubrey Argylle, played by Henry Cavill, and it was only alluded to in the post-credit scene. As a moment lifted directly from the novel, Argylle could be seen picking up a gun from a bar before his foray into the world of espionage began.

The movie was clearly supposed to be the beginning of a franchise, something that was killed almost immediately thanks to its poor critical and commercial performance. However, had the post-credit scene been included in a film that adapted the book, forgetting the story of the author herself, it would have stood more of a chance.
