8Cannot confirm this but I'm pretty sure that Ant-Man's post credit scene was an excerpt from Civil War.– sudhanvaNov 6, 2017 at 17:28

This is the third or fourth time they've done that.– ibidNov 7, 2017 at 5:40

1Is it a post-credits scene or would it be more proper to call it an embedded advertisement?– SJuan76Nov 7, 2017 at 11:32

Huh, I'd completely forgotten about that by the time I watched Ragnarok!– Lightness Races in OrbitNov 8, 2017 at 13:09

1I absolutely love the way the MCU holds together as a coherent whole. And now they've brought Spidey back into the fold properly. :)– DeepakNov 8, 2017 at 15:29

Roughly one quarter of MCU movies have recycled end credits scenes.
The post credits scene from Iron Man 2 was used in Thor.
The post credits scene from Captain America: The First Avenger was used in The Avengers.
The post credits scene from Ant-Man was used in Captain America: Civil War.
The post credits scene from Dr Strange was used in Thor: Ragnarok.

1These seem to be phrased backwards. It seems like it would be more accurate to say "A scene from later movie X was used as the post/mid-credits scene in earlier movie Y." May 12, 2022 at 15:29
No. The stinger in Ant-Man was later reused and expanded upon in Captain America: Civil War.
Ant-Man was released June 29, 2015, while Doctor Strange was released October 20, 2016.
The scene from Ant-Man was literally taken from the dailies that the Russo brothers submitted to Marvel for them for approval/oversight.
The first instance of a scene being redone like the one from Doctor Strange occurred in Captain America: The First Avenger. This scene was directed originally by Joe Johnston, then when the scene was used in Avengers, Joss Whedon recreated it.
