Does Alien: Romulus have a post-credits scene? Explained

The Alien movie series has long thrilled fans with scary space adventures featuring unforgettable creatures, and the latest installment is titled Alien: Romulus. As this movie could be the start of a new chapter in the Alien story, many fans wonder if it has a special scene after the credits, like many other big movies. However, Alien: Romulus doesn't have a post-credits scene.

Alien: Romulus is a bit different. It happens between the first and second Alien movies and was made by Fede Álvarez. People wondered if this movie would be a standalone story or start a new series.

As the movie is part of a big and popular series, and Disney and 20th Century Studios let Álvarez take control, many were curious. Now that the movie is out, it's clear how it fits into the larger story.

Alien: Romulus and Post-Credits Expectations

The straightforward answer is no, Alien: Romulus doesn’t have any scenes after the credits. There's nothing in the middle of the credits or at the very end that hints at what might come next.

Moroever, there's nothing during the credits that ties the movie more closely to the next ones in the series. It means if you're watching Alien: Romulus, either in a movie theater or at home, you don't need to sit through all the credits if you're only waiting for a sneak peek of future movies.

However, it’s still nice to watch the credits to see the names of all the people who worked hard to make the movie.

Adherence to Alien series traditions

Choosing not to put any extra scenes after the credits goes along with what has always been done in the Alien series.

Even when post-credits scenes became popular in other big movie series, the creators of the Alien movies, including Ridley Scott, decided not to add them. It was the case for both new and old movies in the series, including those focusing on the character Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver.

So, it’s not a surprise that Alien: Romulus sticks to this tradition. There wasn't really a clue given to audiences that there would be more Alien movies after Romulus.

Moreover, it was not certain if Álvarez would direct more Alien movies. Instead of pointing towards a sequel that might not happen, the decision was made to not add more scenes after the credits, letting Alien: Romulus stand on its own as a single, complete story.

That way, the movie can be enjoyed without expecting anything more, but it leaves open the possibility for more adventures in the universe of "Alien."

In summary, Alien: Romulus doesn't have any scenes during or after the credits. The movie continues the tradition of the Alien series by focusing on telling a complete story within the larger world of the series, without specifically hinting at what's next.

However, the ending leaves room for potential future stories. Whether or not there will be more movies, this movie offers a new chapter in the Alien saga that fans can enjoy as a standalone experience.
