Indiatimes 5 days ago
The internet has been buzzing with a strange and unexpected rumour following the release of Michael, the biopic based on Michael Jackson.
A supposed post-credit scene has sparked widespread debate online, with claims that it teases a shocking crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically Avengers: Doomsday. But is there any truth to it?

 Popcrave | The rumours rapid spread can largely be attributed to the nature of internet culture

The viral post-credit scene claim

According to viral posts circulating on social media, the alleged post-credit scene features a black screen with a message suggesting that "Michael will return in Avengers: Doomsday." The claim quickly caught attention, leaving fans both confused and intrigued. The idea of a real-life music icon being tied to a superhero franchise is unusual enough to spark curiosity, and debate.

No official confirmation anywhere

A closer look reveals that there is no solid evidence supporting this claim. There has been no official confirmation from Marvel Studios, the filmmakers behind Michael, or any credible entertainment sources. In fact, many viewers who have watched the film in theaters report that no such post-credit scene exists, suggesting that the viral clip or screenshot may be edited or entirely fabricated.

Why the rumour spread so quickly

The rumour's rapid spread can largely be attributed to the nature of internet culture. Post-credit scenes are a staple of Marvel films, often used to tease future storylines and crossovers. This has conditioned audiences to expect surprises, making them more likely to believe even far-fetched claims.

The confusion around "Michael"

Adding to the confusion is the ambiguity of the word "Michael" itself. Some fans even wondered whether the tease could refer to another figure, rather than Michael Jackson. However, there is no verified information linking any "Michael" to the upcoming Avengers film in this way.

 Popcrave | To be clear, this entire claim is just a rumour, and a fake post that has gone viral.

Just a rumour, and literally a fake post

To be clear, this entire claim is just a rumour, and a fake post that has gone viral. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that such a crossover is in development, and no credible source has backed it up.

In the end, the "Michael" post-credit scene is nothing more than internet speculation. No such tease exists, and nothing like this is happening. While it may be fun to imagine, it's best to treat it for what it is, a viral hoax fueled by fan edits and online hype.
