During a recent interview, the 43-year-old filmmaker revealed that the post-credits scene came from the set of an ongoing production he isn’t involved in.

“We always knew the end moment was going to be there from the very beginning and it was about building the right story that lived up to that. But the specifics of what that end credits scene came together quite late,” he said.

Schreier revealed that the post-credits scene was from the set of ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’

“That was shot maybe four weeks ago, and I did not direct that. That’s the Russos on the set of ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ I got to be there, which was very fun, to watch your buddies go on to this grander scale,” he added.
