Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn is pretty adamant about Marvel fans sticking around ALL the way until the end of the credits for his movie’s post-credits scene.
A fan had asked him the details on that:
“Mid and post credit scenes for GOTG Vol.2 or is that a nice big secret for us to find out? Either way I’m pumped!”
Here’s how James responded:

Since his first flick’s post-credit scene had no purpose but to amuse the audience with a Howard the Duck appearance that had no connection to the MCU. It sounds like it was done in jest at the time, but James Gunn said you never know that after 4 years that the failed film character could possibly have something going on, but not likely, according to an interview via Slash Film.
That said, considering how emphatic James Gunn was about his tweet, could the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 post-credit scene have real meaning to it? Another Thanos tease perhaps?
There had been some concept art of Thanos handling an Infinity Stone in a Marvel Studios featurette introducing more of what’s to come in this epic sequel.
Perhaps that could be the concept art to that post-credits scene?
If you want to find out for sure, make sure to sit through the full credits for the post-credits in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 May 5, 2017.
