As Marvel Studios gets ready to say goodbye to the current iteration of the MCU's cosmic team, many are wondering how many credits scenes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has. James Gunn's final MCU movie continues the gripping tradition that has kept audiences in theaters until the very last second in the hopes of catching teases for the future of the franchise. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 previously set the record for most post-credits scenes in the MCU, racking up a total of five moments throughout the vivid credits sequence, while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 sticks to the trend set by the majority of MCU projects.

James Gunn returns as director for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, marking his final project at Marvel Studios before leaving to spearhead DC Studios' new direction. Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, and Pom Klementieff return as the core Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 cast, while Zoe Saldaña reprises her role as the 2014 variant of Gamora, and although Vol. 3 brings the story of the current Guardians team to an end, the film also sets up several stories for the MCU's future.

Does Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Have A Mid-Credits Or Post-Credits Scene?

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 has two credits scenes - one at the mid-credits point and a second at the very end. The mid-credits scene comes after a moving credits sequence which showcases images from the Guardians of the Galaxy's previous adventures in the MCU, and the film's post-credits scene is more subtle, but the perfect way to bookend the story. Those interested in watching both of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's credits scenes will need to stay in theaters until the full credits sequence is over.

Do You Need To Wait For Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Second Credits Scene?

Both Guardians of the Galaxy 3 credits scenes set up the future of the cosmic heroes in the MCU so they're certainly worth waiting for. Although it's one of the MCU's more subtle moments, Vol. 3's post-credits scene does set up an important story for the future of the MCU that viewers won't want to miss. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is an emotional ride from beginning to end, and its post-credits scene acts as a moment of relief for audiences, much like the shawarma scene of The Avengers, or Pizza Poppa being released in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' post-credits scene, so it's worth sticking around for.

Both of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's credits scenes continue the MCU's long-running tradition of setting up future projects for the franchise, though it's unclear when these scenes will actually get paid off. Marvel Studios has recently come under scrutiny for introducing major storylines in MCU post-credits scenes that are then forgotten about for years, but hopefully this won't be the case for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. James Gunn has brought his MCU trilogy to a fantastic end with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and the film's post-credits scenes act as the perfect way to conclude this version of the team's story.
