Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is in cinemas everywhere now, meaning we now know how many post-credits scenes play out at the end of the movie. Here are all the details…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 – which is currently topping the box office – is an emotional end to the trilogy, as we wrote about in our 5-star review.

We know that it’s James Gunn’s final GOTG, although the movie sets up a new team, should Marvel wish to head in that direction with future films.

Now, if you want spoilers, you can read about what happens in the post-credits scenes here. But for a general overview, scroll down…

How many post-credits scenes does Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 have?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has two post-credits scenes.

James Gunn revealed the news on Instagram, when a fan asked him to confirm if there would be a post-credits scene at the end of the movie. Gunn responded by stating: “There is not a post credit scene. There are two.”

That’s the same number of post-credits scenes that the first movie featured, wherein a new iteration of Howard the Duck was revealed. But less than GOTG Vol 2, which featured five, most notably a brief sequence concerning the birth of Adam Warlock, who is played by Will Poulter in the new movie.

Now, for what happens in the two post-credits scenes, we explain all here, so take a look if you don’t mind more spoilers!

GOTG Vol 3 plot: What happens in the movie?

Here’s the official synopsis for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3…

Our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere, but it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life – a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
