Why Logan doesn’t Have End-Credits Scene
Superhero movies have been a big thing in the last decade and a half, ironically truly starting with X-Men, which just had another movie from that universe released via Logan. Because of their success, certain things in movies have happened, or are expected. For example, the idea of an end-credits scene is synonymous with the superhero genre, and when one doesn’t have it, fans wonder why. There wasn’t an end-credits scene in Logan, and director James Mangold was all too happy to say why:
“The only way we came out with a different movie was trying to do it differently,” he notes to the Toronto Sun. “So I was pretty fanatical about saying, ‘If this is how these other movies are doing it, we’re going the other way.’ If there’s normally a cameo or an end-credit scene, we’re not doing that. That’s essentially turning it into a product that has to come out of the widget machine the same way every time and that’s not how the best movies are going to get made … in any genre.”
For those who saw the movie, you can understand his hesitation, or downright refusal, to give the film an end-credits scene, because it would’ve ruined the movie in some aspects depending on what they showed.
Logan is in theaters now.
