Every MCU Credits Scene Ranked From Worst To Best

12. Iron Man 2 - Thor's Hammer

Avengers Infinity War Nick Fury
Marvel

Scene: Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) finds Thor's hammer in the desert.

Like with many of the worst MCU films, what is overall a garbage movie concluded with an absolutely awesome credits scene.

It's a simple but unbelievably effective tease and it highlights that quite often, when it comes to MCU credits scenes, they work best when they're simpler. Many later MCU credits scenes were far too complicated but this - and many of the other Phase One credits scenes - worked beautifully because they just kept it low-key and got viewers excited for the next movie without going overboard with the set-up.

The way the camera pulls back to reveal Thor's hammer, accompanied with a thunder sound effect, was a brilliant touch as well.
