post-credits
Scene following credits
Post-credits describes content that appears after a film or television episode's closing credits have finished rolling.
A post-credits scene typically teases future storylines, delivers a final joke, or rewards patient viewers: Stay for the post-credits—there's a teaser for the sequel.
Marvel films popularized the convention, making audiences reluctant to leave theaters early.
