Black Widow's Post-Credits Scene Was Almost Very Different

If we've learned anything from the post-credits scenes we've gotten from all the MCU properties, it's that they're very succinct. They often don't last more than a few minutes, as Marvel wants to offer fans only a taste of what's to come in the future. However, the original plan for "Black Widow" was to make its post-credits scene much longer than average (and longer than what fans ended up seeing, of course).

"Black Widow" writer Eric Pearson recently caught up with Collider and discussed the initial plan for the post-credits scene. "That tag scene was probably like five pages long because I was just so greedy," he said. "I was like, 'I want Yelena and Valentina just back and forth, bouncing dialogue off of each other.'"

Pearson remembered being so thrilled to write about Valentina and Yelena together that it got the best of him, and he wrote way too much dialogue. "You're not going to have a full scene as a stinger at the end. So we went with the smaller version, but I was just so excited to get those two actors together, to get those two character dynamics together," he told Collider. Additionally, the writer noted how much he loved the part where Valentina blows her nose, saying that the disrespectful act was taking Yelena's peaceful moment and "flushing it down the toilet." 

While we would have loved to see more from the unlikely duo's conversation, the "Black Widow" post-credit scene is highly satisfying, and we can't wait to see Yelena and Clint come face-to-face for the first time.

"Black Widow" is out in theaters now, and is available on Disney+ with Premier Access.
