Superhero movies and coerced sex video toriespost-credit scenes go together like superheroes and capes. So, as you head to the theaters to see Dakota Johnson (of "That's not the truth, Ellen" fame) headline Madame Web, you may well be wondering if you should stay through the credits or risk missing out.
While the MCU may be the biggest employer of this tantalizing tactic, Sony's Spider-Man spinoffs have used it to winsome success. Venom: Let There Be Carnageteased a leap to another corner of the multi-verse. Morbiusoffered a scene that not only had Michael Keaton reprising his Vulture role from Spider-Man: Homecomingbut also suggested that spinoff might collide with MCU canon. (Sadly, Morbin' time had its time, and we all moved on.)

Press screenings for Madame Web did not include a post-credit scene, and Mashable confirmed with a representative from Sony. There will be no post-credit scene when the film premieres to the public.
Perhaps this shouldn't come as a surprise as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versedidn't have one either. Maybe this superhero trend — like capes — is becoming a gauche element of the genre.
