Post-Credit Scenes That Led Nowhere: A Look at Ten Disappointing Teases

In the world of blockbuster cinema, post-credit scenes have become a staple for keeping fans engaged and excited for what’s to come. However, not every promising post-credit scene leads to a fulfilling sequel. In a recent article by Billy Oduory, he takes a look at ten post-credit scenes that ultimately led nowhere.

One such example is the post-credit scene from the 2019 film “Charlie’s Angels,” directed by Elizabeth Banks. The scene featured cameos by multiple celebrities and hinted at the expansion of the Angels team with new recruits. Despite the tease, the film’s underwhelming financial performance and lukewarm reception led to the decision not to greenlight any follow-up films, leaving the promising post-credit scene amounting to nothing.

Another example is the 2018 reboot of “Tomb Raider,” starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. The post-credit scene showed Lara preparing for her next adventure, hinting at a continuation of her quest for hidden treasures. Despite plans for a sequel, the film did not live up to fan expectations, leading to a reassessment of the franchise’s direction and ultimately no follow-up film.

These examples highlight the bittersweet reality of post-credit scenes in cinema, where the promise of future adventures can sometimes be left unfulfilled. As fans eagerly await the next installment of their favorite films, they can only hope that the post-credit scenes they see will lead to satisfying sequels in the future.
