Doomsday is fast approaching, and it was recently teased that Avengers: Endgame will be getting a big screen re-release with some extra scenes, and that the ending of that film will lead right into the upcoming team-up movie.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">That has led to plenty of speculation about what the new scenes might be, and one fan theory that has picked up some traction at places like <a

data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">There isn&#8217;t a post-credits scene, but as the final logo and text card play out, the metal clanking sounds from the very first Iron Man are played out over the top.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">With Endgame being such a tightly-packed film, and the comments about when Doomsday begins, it does seem plausible that an actual ending scene could be added on after the credits.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"35\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">And if that
