Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is here to kick off the 2023 summer movie season, and while it’s being touted as the end of an era for Star-Lord and his family of misfits, we know that the end is never really the end in the Marvel Universe. Heck, the end of the movie isn’t really even the end of the movie when it comes to Marvel!
As dedicated MCU fans know, the credits typically aren’t the end of the movie as the franchise has become known for dropping a few extra tidbits for patient fans willing to sit through the credit scroll. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is no different, as we’re offered not one but two post-credit scenes, one about midway through the credits, and another at the very end of the credits.
We’re here to break down those two scenes and what they could mean to the future of both the Guardians and to the MCU as a whole. But fair warning:
DON’T READ ON IF YOU DON’T WANT THESE SCENES OR THE MOVIE TO BE SPOILED!
OK, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, read on for discussion on the two post-credit scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
