Avengers: Endgame - Every Mystery The Russos Have Answered (So Far)

1. The Lack Of A Post-Credits Scene

The Question

Simply, why was there no post-credits scene?

The Answer

Even after we were told there was no post-credits scene, people across the world still sat in their seats half-expecting it to have been a ruse. But there wasn't to be a stinger - even with the re-release - and it was a conscious choice to reflect the fact that this was the real end of an era.

Here's what the Russos said:

The reason why there’s no end credits is because our goal on this movie was simply to bring to a conclusion the 22 movies now that comprise the MCU for these 10 years of storytelling. … I think one of the great creative upsides for Joe and I, as storytellers on this movie, was that this is the first MCU movie we got to tell where we weren’t thinking about the future. We were simply thinking about the past, the journey that we’ve all been on together since that first Iron Man movie. And how do we bring the most epic sense of closure to that the journey that we can possibly do. So that was our goal, and that was really why we had no tag.

It's hard to really argue with that sentiment, really.
