10 Predictions About The Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe
2. There Will Be Post-Credit Teasers
In 2008, Audiences worldwide had their collective minds blown when Nick Fury appeared after Iron Man's credits to ask Tony Stark if he heard about the Avengers initiative. This tasty post-credit morsel wetted audiences appetite for more Marvel features. Post-credit teasers became the calling card for the first phase of Marvel films, stoking the fires of anticipation among Marvel fans by hinting at what character Marvel would unleash on the world next. Even Avengers Assemble ended on the promise that Marvel super-villain Thanos will eventually step into the ring against earths mightiest heroes. Post-credit teasers have become ubiquitous now. Every franchise from Spider-Man to X-Men uses teasers as a marketing ploy. Moviegoers know to expect them. The ritual of audiences waiting until after the credits roll to leave the theatres now feels more like an obligation than a fun nod to the fans. Despite post-credit teasers growing somewhat stale, the Universal Monsters features will no doubt employ this marketing technique to drum up interest in the next Monsters film coming down the pipeline. Its an overused tactic that has no end in sight. We predict fans will be sitting in their seats until the lights go up for most of the Monsters movies.
