Summary- Marvel never does anything without a big connection with their upcoming projects and their post-credit scenes are definitely not the extras or ‘just for fun’. You might have not noticed it but there were lots of post-credit scenes that secretly added Avengers: Doomsday on the MCU map. These five powerful scenes from the Marvel Universe quietly set up the chaos fans will soon witness.
Avengers: Doomsday is less than a year away and Marvel loves surprising fans. With the universe on the verge of collapsing and rebooting, the loyal fans of Marvel who stays till the post-credit scene because that’s when it hints at the new plans, have been noticing how every post-credit scene from Thunderbolt to X-Men is now finally connecting with Doomsday.
The only real clue Marvel ever gave about the most anticipated Avengers sequel was right before us- in the post-credit scenes, and don’t worry, because today this article will reveal all five scenes that actually point toward the chaos ahead.
5. Thunderbolts: The New Avengers Are Born
This scene shocked everyone. The old Thunderbolts team changes its name and calls itself the New Avengers. No big announcement. No fancy speech. Just a simple reveal that hits hard. And then comes the twist.
Sam Wilson has already claimed the Avengers name. So the MCU now has a war going on between the new Avengers and Sam Wilson’s Avengers. Two teams, one title and no chill! The New Avengers are not just a new character but they are being locked up to play a bigger role in the upcoming war saga.
This was not just a random post-credit scene. Director Jake Schreier later revealed that Joe and Anthony Russo actually directed this post-credit scene on the set of Avengers: Doomsday! Can you believe this? Me neither, but it is what it is and this whole time we were missing out on a very important hint.
4. A Mysterious Spacecraft Arrives
Right after the Thunderbolts* stinger… BOOM. A giant spaceship enters Earth-616.
It has a big number “4” on it. You know what that means, right?
It means nothing but the fact that the Fantastic Four are finally here! This is not just a post-credit scene to watch for fun. This is Marvel officially saying out loud: “Get ready. Cosmic trouble is coming.”
And cosmic trouble is exactly what leads to Doomsday.This was never just a cameo, it was the first sign that a new threat whatever it is, is finally emerging and it won’t be limited to Earth.
3. Loki Season 2: The Timeline Is No Longer Safe
Loki’s final scene changes everything. We literally sat and watched the whole series like what is actually happening? The timelines are not separate anymore. They’re tied together because of Loki’s sacrifice. This is the start of the incursion, and we all somehow knew it will lead to something bigger and now it finally makes sense.
This moment ties directly to Doomsday because the multiverse isn’t breaking. It’s merging, twisting, and collapsing on itself. When timelines collide, worlds collide. And in Doomsday, that becomes a major threat. So, Marvel very cleverly hid the first seed inside a TV show, thinking we won’t notice. Nice try, Marvel. Better luck next time!
2. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Clea’s Warning
Strange thinks the madness is over. Then Clea shows up. She opens a portal and says, “You caused an incursion.”
That one line is huge. Incursions here meant the world-destroying clashes between universes. And guess what? Incursions are the heart of Avengers: Doomsday.
If you missed this scene, you missed the first real warning.

1. Eternals: The Arrival of Eros and Pip
This scene feels fun at first. But it’s more important than it looks. Eros knows about Celestials. He knows about universes. He knows things heroes like the New Avengers do not.
Introducing him this early means he may become a guide, or even a key player when the universe starts shaking apart meeting the final blow.
It almost felt like Marvel saying, “You will need him soon.”
What Does This All Mean for Avengers: Doomsday?
These five scenes quietly build the road ahead:
- New Avengers vs Old Avengers
- Cosmic heroes entering the main MCU
- The timelines collapsing
- Incursions getting worse
- Celestial-level trouble rising
Put them together and you see the puzzle finally being solved. We are already halfway there. Doomsday isn’t just a fight between our favourite heroes and the villains; it’s the chaos that is much needed to make the Marvel fans feel alive again. It’s the result of every post-credit scene we ignored.
