Does ‘Wonder Woman’ Have A Credits Scene?

Thanks to the success of Marvel Studios, whenever a franchise starter comes around, there is usually some kind of credits scene that teases what will hopefully be the next chapter in the franchise. However, when it comes to the films of the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros. Pictures hasn’t always teased what’s coming next in their comic book franchises. BothMan of SteelandBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceopted out of having credits scenes, thoughSuicide Squaddid tease what’s to come inJustice Leaguethis fall. But what aboutWonder Woman?

Warner Bros. Pictures releasesWonder Womanin just under two weeks, but should moviegoers stick around after the credits start rolling for a tease of either aWonder Womansequel or the arrival ofJustice League?

CinemaBlendparticipated in a press day forWonder Womanthis past weekend, and they asked producerCharles Rovenif the theatrical release of the film would have a credits scene, even though the press screening of the film didn’t include one. Roven confirmed that there willnotbe aWonder Womancredits scene to wait for, and he explained why:

Though Marvel Studios has inspired studios to attempt to create their own cinematic universes, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment clearly don’t want to play follow the leader. At the same time, that doesn’t mean they won’t have credits scenes every now and then. In the case of the DC Extended Universe, I think it’s a little more difficult to plan those credits scenes when the movies don’t seem to be as meticulously planned as far in advance as those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Honestly, I’m glad that Warner Bros. and DC don’t feel the need to tease their forthcoming movies. It creates a certain expectation that isn’t necessary to complete the viewing experience. It’s become Marvel’s signature move because they have meticulously planned the future of their cinematic universe, but DC is still putting their universe together. In this case, we knowJustice LeagueandAquamanare next on the docket for the DCEU, but there’s really no reason to tease those movies if the the studio doesn’t see a reason to do so.

As for theWonder Womanfranchise, thoughZack Snyderhas confirmeda sequel is already in development,Geoff Johnswas less forthcomingabout announcing plans in advance. Since this is the first foray forWonder Womanin her own franchise, it would have been nice to see some confidence from the studio about plans for a sequel, but they probably don’t even know what will happen for sure yet.

Plus, the studio is likely still waiting to see how the film will do at the box office. The early tracking three weeks out had a range ofanywhere from $65 million to $105 millionfor the opening weekend. According toForbes, recent the numbers suggest an opening closer to $90 million. That could easily change over the next 11 days as Warner Bros. Pictures continues their marketing onslaught, but the studio is probably being more cautiously optimistic than anything.

We’ll see howWonder Womanfares at the box office in just under two weeks, but ifthe early buzz is any indicator, then this movie should be a satisfying entry in the DC Extended Universe, both critically and financially.
