James Gunn Confirms That “Guardians of the Galaxy” Post-Credits Scene Is Just for Fun

"Guardians of the Galaxy" director, James Gunn, says post-credits scene isn't serious.

(Spoilers ahead)

Marvel fans know by now that leaving the theatre when the credits start rolling is a big no no.

In years past Marvel has provided bonus scenes or sneak peeks at upcoming projects in post-credits scenes, and Guardians of the Galaxy was no different, giving one of the most talked about post credits scenes, which left fans confused and thinking, ‘That’s it?”

Guardians showed a disgusted “Howard the Duck” talking to Collector about Cosmo licking his face leading fans to believe a “Howard the Duck” film was in the works. But Guardians' director, James Gunn, has officially killed that dream:

1.

“We had one plan for the first tag, and another for the second tag. Originally, we were going to put Baby Groot dancing at the very end of the movie...I think it was some combination of me and the editor Fred Raskin who said, ‘Let’s put Howard The Duck in there.’ What if The Collector looks over and sees Howard The Duck sitting there? And I wrote down the line, ‘Whaddya let it lick you like that for? Gross.’ Fred and I thought it was hilarious but we weren’t sure that Kevin Feige would go for it. But we told Kevin and Kevin couldn’t stop laughing. Every time he saw it, he was like, ‘We’re f****** crazy! We’re f****** crazy!’"

As to whether or not Howard might make another cameo Gunn said he wasn't ruling anything out. Guardians was quite the curveball for Marvel, so we wouldn't be surprised by a change-up.
