Following the first press screening for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, director James Gunn took to Twitter to correct the record on the film’s post-credits fare by revealing the film will feature not four, but five post-credits scenes. Previously, the Marvel Studios films had only one post-credits scene, expanding to two with Marvel’s The Avengers, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has now set the record, which fans probably hope will become the new normal.
