Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a big, bold, ambitious film. The long-awaited sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse not only reaches the same visual and narrative heights as its predecessor but blasts past them — delivering a stylistic experience that is as overwhelming as it is rejuvenating. In case that wasn’t enough, Across the Spider-Verse also ends in a way that may be exciting to some and confounding to others, but is guaranteed to start discussions among everyone who sees it.

Along the way, Across the Spider-Verse packs in more than a few surprises, but do the film’s numerous shocking moments include a scene or two during its end credits? Here’s what viewers should know heading into the blockbuster’s release this week.

Is there a post-credits scene in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?

No, a post-credits scene is not included at the end of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In what will likely come as a surprise to many, the film finishes with a “to be continued…” comic book panel, and then it lets its credits roll in a more or less uninterrupted fashion. As a matter of fact, the closest thing Across the Spider-Verse has to a post-credits scene is a title card that pops up halfway through its end credits, which announces, “Miles Morales will return in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.”

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is already set to hit theaters on March 29, 2024, which means viewers will have to wait a little less than a year to see the second half of Across the Spider-Verse’s dramatic story. Those same viewers don’t have to worry about sitting through the end credits for Across the Spider-Verse if they don’t want to, though. If you choose to duck out once the film cuts to black, you won’t miss anything.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now playing in theaters.

The Marvels: How many post-credits scenes are there in the latest MCU movie?
The poster for The Marvels.

It's November, which means it's time for the usual seasonal things: holiday movies no one wants to see; too many football games to keep track of; and sales on stuff you probably don't need. It's also time for another Marvel movie, and the latest one, The Marvels, promises more of the same except with a lot less fan enthusiasm and critical acclaim.

Yes, the MCU is in a bit of a slump lately, but that hasn't stopped people curious about what's going on all these multiverses and what latest Easter eggs are teasing future plotlines. The Marvels is no different, as it contains the usual post-credits scene(s) that are designed to whip up enthusiasm for the movie itself and potential sequels down the road. But how many post-credits scenes are there in The Marvels? And just what happens in those scenes and who cameos? Digital Trends has all the answers for you below.

20 years ago, Spider-Man swung onto MTV and changed the Marvel superhero forever

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has to be the most freeze-frameable movie of the year. The hit sequel is packed with Easter eggs and left-field references — especially in its second half when the plot is invaded by a whole army of alternate-universe web slingers pulled from back issues and past adaptations alike. But if the roll calls of eagle-eyed fans are to be believed (Google "all the characters in Spider-Verse" for a comprehensive count), there's at least one Spider-Man missing from the film's sprawling game of Where's Waldo? He's the one who swung onto MTV 20 years ago this summer, delivering wisecracks in the voice of Neil Patrick Harris while soaring across a blocky computer-generated Manhattan.
