Post-Credits Scene Hints at Avengers Doomsday
While Brand New Day does not include a mid-credits scene, a stinger at the very end of the scroll delivers a humorous moment while hinting at future MCU projects, particularly Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
According to Comic Book Movie, the scene was evaluated as "the clever shock therapy of Kevin Feige (producer), who placed the greatest cosmic fear at the end of the most ordinary and heavy-distance story."
