The Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest movie Thunderbolts* has set a surprising new record for the franchise.
The film, which follows a group of anti-heroes assembling for a dangerous mission, is released today in the UK and tomorrow in the US.
Not only does the film have a mid- and post-credit scene like MCU movies have, but it's also the longest one they've done.
IGN counted the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene alone at two minutes 54 seconds, give or take.
The publication worked out that this is longer than any other mid- and post-credit scenes across the MCU movies, including the five Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 mid-credits scenes added together.
However, there is a longer credits scene within the MCU, and that can be found in one of the Disney+ shows.

In Digital Spy's review, we praised the film for being "more interested in its flawed characters and their mental states in particular".
"Thunderbolts* might not be the deepest exploration of depression you'll ever see, but it's impressive that writers Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo have managed it at all in a mainstream summer blockbuster," we wrote.
Thunderbolts* is out in UK cinemas now, and releases in the US tomorrow.
