Predator: Killer of Killersputs a new spin on the sci-fi franchise by bringing it to animation and exploring three different prequel eras. This unique set up immediately makes the film stand apart from the rest of thePredatormovies. And as the three separate stories play out,Predator: Killer of Killersreshapes aspects of the lore, timeline, and more. All the new ways it approaches the long-running franchise align with how Hollywood has come to expand several properties in more recent years. And withPredator: Badlandscoming next, there’s a clear roadmap for the future.
That makes questions about ifPredator: Killer of Killerswould have a post-credits scene make sense. Dan Trachtenberg has taken over the franchise followingPrey’s acclaim. The stories he tells inPreyandPredator: Killer of Killersare similar but also different, withPredator: Badlandsestablished as another fresh entry in the series with its Yautja focus. With this movie taking place so early inPredatortimeline, it would be easy for the film to set up future adventures with the killer aliens. Using a post-credits scene would be one way to do that.
Predator: Killer Of Killers Does Not Have A Post-Credits Scene
But There Is Something Extra
It is confirmed thatPredator: Killer of Killersdoes not have a post-credits scene in the traditional sense. Viewers do not need to wait around until the very end of the credits to see something extra that teases more anthology stories like these or suggest what will come inPredator: Badlands. It’s still encouraged to sit through the entire credits sequence to see the names of everyone who worked on the first animatedPredatormovie, including the animators,the voice cast, and more.
While there isn’t a main post-credits scene, it’s important that you don’t stopwatchingPredator: Killer of Killerson Huluas soon as the credits begin. After the initial burst of credits,there is an epilogue to this story. It’s safe to say that the footage included in this section, which comes before the main credits start rolling, is something that viewers do not want to miss. It’s difficult to classify what is shown as a post-credits scene because of what it means forPredator: Killer of Killers' ending.
But, since there aresomecredits that flash right before this, be sure to keep watching. Once the main credits sequence begins, then it is safe to stop watching if necessary. There is not another piece of footage tacked onto the end after the epilogue.
Predator: Killer Of Killers' Epilogue Continues A Franchise Trend
Real Post-Credits Scenes Aren’t For This Franchise
ThePredatormovies have never included a post-credits scenein a way that most viewers would label them. They weren’t popular enough for the early movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Glover to include. Adrien Brody’sPredatorsalso didn’t include one. But, 2018’sThe Predatordirected by Shane Black offered something different. The movie’s final scene is basically a post-credits scene, as Boyd Holbrook’s character suggests he’ll use the “Predator killer” suit. It might come before the credits, but itfeelslike a post-credits scene.
Dan Trachtenberg then delivered another subversion to typical post-credits scenes withPrey. The credits have an animated sequence recapping the events of Naru’s battle against the Yautja, leading up to the final moment shown before the animation begins. However,Prey’s creditsinclude scenes that go beyond Naru’s ending. This includes showing several Yautja ships coming to Earth. The tease set up a rematch between Naru and the Comanche Tribe against a wave of aliens. But since this came through an animated sequence, it doesn’t fully classify as a post-credits scene.
Predator: Killer of Killershas now done something similar. Its epilogue is more direct and difficult to miss because of how it interrupts the early credits. What happens ultimately satisfies multiple purposes. The epilogue continues to wrap up the main story ofPredator: Killer of Killerswhile also leaving viewers with ideas about what future movies could explore. All in all, this is much better than a post-credits scene and continuesPredator’s clever ways of avoiding the usual credits scenes audiences can expect.
