Red is a potential franchise starter for Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, leaving questions as to whether there’s a post-credits scene teasing more to come. The 2024 Christmas movie delves into the action fantasy genre with The Rock and Evans teaming up to headline Redcast, as their characters – Callum Drift and Jack O’Malley – work together to save Santa Claus (JK Simmons) and Christmas. The combination of its star power and widespread Christmas appeal made the film a film that had franchise and sequel aspirations from the moment it was announced.
The possibility of Red 2 being made already exists, even if a sequel has yet to be formally announced. Despite any problems Amazon MGM encountered Redbudget, the film’s hope, in the conceptual stages, to present to audiences “a whole new universe to explore within the vacation genre” speaks for itself when it comes to his intention to make more films. As a result, the idea that Red Including a post-credits scene teasing more of the franchise would make sense – but a surprising decision was made.
Red One has no post-credits scene
The film leaves the future open
It is confirmed that Red does not include any type of post-credits scene. There is no mid-credits or post-credits scene included the goal is to create a sequel, offset a persistent plot, or tell a punchline. Instead, anyone who watches Red in theaters or on streaming you can rest easy knowing that there is no bonus footage to be seen. It’s still encouraged to watch the credits, as it allows you to see the names of everyone who worked so hard on the film.
Why Red One’s Post-Credits Scene Decision Is Surprising
The fact that there is no Red The post-credits scene is very surprising. When Amazon MGM got involved in the original Christmas action film as a starring vehicle for The Rock, its company Seven Bucks Productions described the film (by Variety) as the one who “could go beyond entertainment into multiple sectors and businesses.” Essentially, Johnson and his team had franchise aspirations for Red from the beginning. This desire can even be seen in bringing your Jumanji franchise director on board to try to replicate the success with an original property.
The lack of a post-credits scene for Red it also flies in the face of recent behavior from Dwayne Johnson’s franchise. It included some variation of a credits scene with Black Adam, DC League of Super-Pets, Jumanji: The Next Leveland Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. He went to the big surprise in Fastpost-credits scene. But since most of his films’ post-credits teases still haven’t gone anywhereMaybe that explains Johnson leaving one out Red as there is no guarantee that a sequel will come.
