Obviously, “Madame Web” is the source of tons of memes and jokes on social media. Once it became known that “Madame Web” doesn’t feature a post-credits scene, many took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to further troll the film. “If you’re going to see Madame Web this weekend, make sure you stick around for the post credits scene. It happens after the reel ends and the lights come back on. Just stick around for 20 or 30 minutes (hide if you have to) & the movie will just start again. Maybe another movie,” said user @iamtherog. For the record: don’t actually do that.
“Okay but when does The Vulture show up then?” joked Redditor u/mcu_addict92 on the r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers subreddit. The user is alluding to the contrived and confusing post-credits sequence for “Morbius,” which features Michael Keaton’s Vulture meeting Morbius (Jared Leto) for the first (and probably last?) time. “It feels like they knew this wasn’t going to be successful enough to get a sequel, so they just didn’t even bother with post-credits scenes,” candidly wrote u/Colton826. “I think many of us hoped it would have 0 pre-credit scenes as well,” said u/SimpleDose.
Without diving deep into spoilers, “Madame Web” is an isolated narrative and it does sort of make sense that the film’s creatives wanted the film to stand on its own, without reliance on future teases and promises of crossovers. “We made a decision early on that the advantage in this story was not to attach it to all these other stories,” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told Comicbook.com, adding, “It is its own standalone [film], which gave the freedom to really tell the character story.”
