After the Credits
The rumors have turned out to be true and there is in fact a second additional scene shown after the credits. Check out more details and spoilers below.
Early screenings of The Avengers overseas and for critics didn’t have a stinger after the credits; however, there were many rumors that Marvel shot an additional extra scene around the time of the premiere and attached it to the end of the final cut for its debut in North American theaters on May 4. Marvel did the same thing with the original Iron Man by leaving Samuel L. Jackson‘s surprise appearance as Nick Fury off the original cut that was first screened to critics and the press before the film debuted in theaters. The Avengers‘ director, Joss Whedon, also shot Thor‘s stinger months after the filming of Thor had ended with the film’s original director, Kenneth Branagh.
