【Watch Believer Online】

The Watch Believer Onlinefirst post-credits scene for Marvel's Thunderbolts*takes us on a trip down the cereal aisle.

The mid-credits scene sees Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour) hanging out in a supermarket, waiting to see if anyone will buy a Wheaties box with the Thunderbolts — sorry, New Avengers — on it.

The entire gag plays off one of Alexei's earlier lines, where he yearns to be on a team of heroes that people will love and respect to the point where they get that ultimate prize: a place on the front of a Wheaties box. Now that the Thunderbolts have been dubbed the New Avengers and have a public-facing role as heroes, that dream has been fully realized.

That doesn't mean people are actually buying the New Avengers Wheaties, though. Alexei tries to convince one woman, adding that the cereal is "good for kids" and pointing himself out on the box. The shopper, bless her heart, does take a box — only to put it down at the end of the aisle and run off. Sorry, Alexei, you're just not the best salesman!

If you, unlike this mid-credits shopper, actually want to see a New Avengers Wheaties box, you're in luck! You can buy a collectible box (no Wheaties included) or see a massive standee of the box at a movie theater.

• All the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, ranked worst to best
• Every MCU movie villain ranked, from the worst to the worst of the worst

I'd say it's part of a balanced breakfast, but I don't think a balanced breakfast comes with quite this much murder.

Thunderbolts* is now in theaters.
