During the post-credits 'Denzel' sequence, was there any significance to this scene - apart from the fact that this time - she *doesn't* stop him from introducing himself?
Were we supposed to recognise the woman? (I'm a tad face-blind).
The post-credits scene starts out the exact same way, but this time when he starts to say who he is, the woman he meets doesn't cut him off, so he gets a chance to say who he is. The scene ends with a close-up of the woman's face, which leads me to suspect there is some significance to it that I missed, but I could be mistaken.
The woman is clearly the ex-wife of the creepy cop-neighbor (played by Jesse Plemons.) We see her photographs in the shrine he built for her. This is the only time we see her in the film.
As in Marvel movies, while there is a scene during the credits, this is actually shown after 100% of the credits are done. I'm glad I waited for it. It was a good gag. The cop was still obsessed with her, and now she could be on her way to a one-night-stand.
It emphasizes the fact that while the cop husband is still obsessed with his ex wife, the wife has moved on and is comfortable with getting to know new people.
