According to James Gunn, the post-credits scene for Superman will differ significantly from those seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
In about a month, you can catch Superman hitting the big screen. This highly-anticipated film, helmed by Gunn, is a joint production between Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios. The lead roles are filled by David Corenswet portraying Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult stepping into the shoes of Lex Luthor.
What did James Gunn say about Superman’s post-credit scene?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn revealed that Superman will feature a post-credits scene. Yet, the piece suggests that this scene might not follow the usual patterns fans have grown accustomed to.
Currently, specifics about the post-credits scene are being kept secret. However, Gunn shared his perspective on post-credit scenes, which seems connected to his past experiences working with Marvel: “I have a particular viewpoint about post-credit scenes; it’s somewhat related to my own errors during my tenure at Marvel.
Before taking charge of DCU, Gunn was the director for all three Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy films. Looking back, Gunn admits to preferring the post-credit scene in the first Guardians of the Galaxy featuring Howard the Duck, although he’s not as keen on the one hinting at Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
As a dedicated fan, I must admit that while setting up intriguing elements like Adam Warlock, Guardians of the Galaxy, and various plot points in “Guardians 2,” I found myself in a predicament. Although I had intended to deliver on the Adam Warlock promise, I realized it’s crucial to tread carefully. The post-credits scene can be a thrilling surprise, like a punch to the face, but when used solely for setup, it can potentially backfire. Integrating Adam Warlock into “Guardians 3” was no easy task. I had a wonderful experience collaborating with Will [Poulter] and developing the character, but at times, it felt like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. To some extent, yes, there was a bit of awkwardness involved.
Gunn added that he prefers a post-credit scene not just for the sake of hinting at future projects or storylines, unless it’s exceptionally effective.
Superman will be released in United States theaters on July 11, 2025.
