According to those who were lucky enough to see the movie already, Thunderbolts* has two post credits scenes. 

One is positioned mid-credits and the other arrives after the credits have rolled. This is typical of many Marvel movies that have come before it.

The first is allegedly a more tongue-in-cheek clip featuring a bit of humor and one of the Thunderbolts* main characters Alexei, played by David Harbour. 

Meanwhile the second is said to be more consequential for the overall future of the MCU, with some believing it connects Thunderbolts* with the events set to take place in Avengers: Doomsday.
