For a long time, MCU<\/a> post-credits scenes were the most dependable currency in Hollywood. After all, for that first decade, if there was an MCU release, there was a reason to stay for the stinger, but we\u2019re in a different era of the MCU now. And crucially, MCU post-credits scenes<\/a> aren\u2019t quite the guarantee they once were: particularly on Disney+. Phase 5 was a mixed bag, with major post-credits scenes attached to Echo, Daredevil: Born Again, and Ironheart, but missing elsewhere. Loki Season 2 and What If\u2026? Season 3 got them, but not on the final episodes.<\/p>\n

So far, Marvel\u2019s Phase 6 TV shows have all avoided a post-credits scene, with both Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies ending conventionally. Neither particularly needed a stinger, given both were presented as miniseries (even though there are hints that Zombies will return), and now Wonder Man<\/a> has followed suit. Perhaps happily for those who\u2019ve grown weary of empty stingers and unresolved post-credits, Wonder Man does not have a post-credits scene, and, frankly, it makes sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why Wonder Man Doesn\u2019t Have A Post-Credits Scene<\/p>\n

Right now, we might have small hints of Yahya Abdul-Mateen\u2019s future as a potential new Avengers recruit, but there is no hint at all that Wonder Man Season 2 will be made. As a result, a post-credits scene offering anything other than a payoff to an earlier joke would have felt like a false promise. Wonder Man is a Marvel Spotlight project, largely untethered from the rest of the franchise, and while the ending retroactively makes the 8 episodes feel like the second phase of Simon\u2019s superhero (or antihero) origin (the source of his powers is completely unexplored in the show, of course), we don\u2019t need a hint that he might come back. The ending already delivers that hint when we finally get to see Simon in full flight.<\/p>\n

That final sequence where Simon rescues Trevor from the DODC prison is a perfect ending, resolving the most important thing for Williams \u2013 his friendship with Trevor \u2013 rather than tacking on a major hero vs villain setpiece, or having an empty cameo where another more prominent MCU hero turns up to recruit him in a stinger. What we\u2019re instead left with is a hopeful hint at the future, the tease of what the story of a follow-up could be (Simon vs the DODC), and the lasting sense that the friendship was really all we came here for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
