With the reviews now in for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we can reveal whether there are any end- or post-credit scenes in the Sony-Marvel film and, if so, how many.

Turn away now if you don’t want to know!

Still here? OK then…

There isn’t really a mid-credits scene in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but there is a nice and touching tribute to Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

The post-credits surprise, on the other hand, is a full-fledged scene.

Again, spoilers follow!

The scene features the surprise arrival of Spider-Man 2099, the Spider-Man of the future. The man under the mask is Miguel O’Hara, voiced by Oscar Isaac (a.k.a. Poe Dameron). His appearance leads to a fun retro-trip to the old Spidey cartoon from the 1960s.

After Miles Morales and his new spider-friends saved the day and credits rolled for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we’re given a bonus scene featuring a fan-favorite Spider character that really got our spider-senses tingling. We’ve got a full breakdown on who this character is and what his presence could mean for the sequel.

Needless to say, but full spoilers ahead!

The surprise character in the end credits scene is none other than Spider-Man 2099, the Spider-Man of the future. The man under the mask is Miguel O’Hara, voiced by Oscar Isaac, who you may know better as Poe Dameron from Star Wars. The Latino Isaac is a fitting casting choice given that Miguel is Marvel’s first-ever Latino spider-character.

Some SPOILERS ahead for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Still here, true believers?

OK then. Consider yourselves warned!

Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse continues the long-running tradition of Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee making a cameo in a film based on a Marvel character, but this is the first time audiences will see the Spider-Man co-creator acting onscreen since Lee’s death in November.

(While Lee’s avatar appears in Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet, which opened November 21st, Spider-Verse is Lee’s first proper scene since his cameo in October”s Venom.)

Confession time: I only tolerate the Mario Kart series because it reminds me of Crash Team Racing. There. I said it.

Right now there are likely a few of you wondering why IGN would play host to such heresy. The audacity! Mario Kart: the second highest-selling racing series of all time behind Need for Speed. Mario Kart: the original kart racer, and the blueprint for every kart racer ever since. Mario Kart! The greatest spin-off series since they decided to build a new Starship Enterprise and put Patrick Stewart in charge of it.

But the rest of you are saying, ‘Duh. Crash Team Racing crushes Mario Kart. This isn’t a radically unique opinion.’

And yet, after just a pair of PS2 sequels that never resonated with me in quite the same way, Crash’s four-wheeled follies dried up. A fourth, unannounced Crash karting game was reportedly in development at High Impact Games last generation, but it was cancelled for unknown reasons around 2010 (clearly there was only room in Activision’s quiver for a single kart game, and the flaccid Dreamworks money-spinner Madagascar Kartz had already beaten Crash to the shelves). The marsupial himself was mothballed for many years until his 2017 resurrection in the warmly received Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, the success of which has certainly paved the road for the newly-announced Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.

Aquaman star Jason Momoa claims that fellow Justice League actor Henry Cavill isn’t done playing Superman.

In a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight at a Wednesday premiere of Aquaman, Momoa was asked if Cavill is finished playing the character, responding “He’s absolutely not. He loves the character and he’s not, 100%.” The reporter asks again if Cavill’s exit is happening, and Momoa once again responds “No, it’s absolutely not.”

This follows recent comments from Momoa on Cavill and Ben Affleck when he said “If they’re both out, then listen: It’s just the place they’re at in their careers. I mean, how many has Henry done? He’s done three? Yeah, I mean, like, you want to move on. I think if I did… shit, I have done three.”

If there’s one thing I love, it’s Kingdom Hearts. If there’s a second thing I love, it’s keeping track of weird phenomenon in pop culture release date scheduling. Luckily for me, 2019 has already proven itself to be a surprisingly packed time during a normally quite period of the year — February.

While Sony has used February expertly for hits like Horizon Zero Dawn and Shadow of the Colossus, it’s a normally quiet month in pop culture. Until 2019, specifically on February 15.
