Up to 31 fresh!
It means red leather just so happens to be her choice as part of her outfit for the day and nothing else.
It means she's been cast to play Deadpool.

Writing a dinosaur space opera symphony
I watched something recently that asserted most modern comedies are barely movies - they're filmed stand-up improv, with a bunch of comedians wandering about having conversations. In unremarkable, non-comedic situations. They lack even the laugh track of a sitcom to let the audience know when it's funny.
The look of this film could be resonating with people because the comedy is deeply worked into the scenario and the world around the characters who are dropping funny lines. Example: the now iconic "I'm Star Lord" scene is appealing 'cuz the line, and the deadpan reaction that follow it, are happening in an exotic sci-fi Indiana Jones scenario, taking the piss out of a cliche heroic scene. It's more of a real comedic opera ala Mel Brooks, rather than mundane characters standing in front of cameras trying to say funny things.
Even the "I have a plan" scene, without having even seen the whole film yet, comes across as the characters having earned the right to be interesting when they sit around having a pure conversation to play off one another. (It also gives me hope the film is well-paced, with fast and slow rhythm.)

I've heard that every early showing will not have the after-credit scenes. Not sure if it's true, though.
If I didn't have to work tonight, I'd probably been all over this. [/sigh]
I'll find out tomorrow, but if true, what a load of shit.

Anything before Thursday, I can see them mandating/sending a print out without the after-credit scenes on it.
On Thursday and beyond though, I'm assuming fair game.

Yeah they even put the "_______ will return" thing before the credits so people wouldn't wait.
Oh good! I'm seeing it Thursday night and I almost would've considered cancelling tickets if it wasn't available until Friday.

I figured for screenings, they would be upfront and say no post-credits stuff yet.
The Thursday night stuff is considered actually released, so if they don't show them there, they're fucking up bad.
And also it's nationwide then, they'd have to have sent out 2 versions to everyone, and they won't do that.
Maybe they didn't announce something because it would have spoiled the GOTG aftercreditsscene?

Something I noticed, GOTG is a rare case of a man from the modern world or at least the 80's finding himself transported to a futuristic/sci-fi universe or sorts. That is he finds himself in the company of super advanced aliens.
How many other examples of this kind of setting are there?
Hitchhiker's Guide counts I guess
GOTG is practically live-action Futurama and I love that
Farscape is another

This is basically my line of thinking. Something stinks here.
Again, hope so, not getting my hopes up when its a scene of them getting space-shwarma

Tons. It's the stranger in a strange land/fish out of water trope.

Or they just didn't have anything to announce that wasn't premature.

That's what I had thought, but Gunn said last week that it "introduces something really awesome to the Marvel Universe." Could be the rumored
Howard the Duck cameo

They plan these teasers/tags out waaaay in advance. And like I said before, they were totally cool with the Avengers/Cap 2 teasers getting out there a month+ in advance.
So either they couldn't show anything too early (like ratcliffja is saying) at CC, or saying something then would've spoiled this.
And in the grand scheme of things, wide release matters way more than Comic-Con. I think it's a new character.
I'm gonna be pissed it if's *after credits spoiler?*
Howard the Duck. Stupid character.

Clearly The One Above All is the after credits reveal. Stan Lee has been taking acting lessons.

He should have enough experience by now, he's been in dozens of movies!

I'll guess that the post credit thing doesn't involve anything or character that we haven't seen already. I don't think we are getting any kind of new reveal. I suppose we will find out really soon.

Yeah I know. Just joking. Really though I would think Nova makes the most sense for a tease.

We got The Collector in Thor 2 and the twins in Cap 2, so I'm hoping it's something new and shiny. GIVE ME NEW AND SHINY.
looool
Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon come to mind.
Well fucking big film spoilers that could be relevant:
Apparently Cosmo is shown briefly in The Collector's vault along with Adam Warlock's cocoon (again) so that could lead to the credit's scene.

For the Post Credits i'm guessing its probably either a new character for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or The Avengers 2.

Earth is in space!
But those characters had already been announced and cast by the time they had their cameos filmed.

There's a first time for everything.
But you're probably right. Maybe it's a CG-heavy gag scene like what's rumored, maybe it introduces a plot element that'll pay off in GotG2 (Skrulls? Adam Warlock? Captain Universe?), but I really doubt that it'll announce the casting of a name actor in a major role.

Sure, counter with logic, whydontcha.
That is like the exact setting for Farscape.

I don't know if we will ever see the later, I think it's just an easter egg. As to the former...for some reason I was under the impression that it was already in the movie. Who knows
