'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' Post-Credit Scenes: A Spoiler-Free Guide

After demanding independence for the North from her weird brother in the Game of Thrones finale, Sophie Turner soars into theaters as Jean Grey in Dark Phoenix, one of the last X-Men movies we’ll ever see — from 20th Century Fox. With the fate of Marvel’s mutants hanging in the balance after the Disney-Fox merger, the future of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, and the Xavier’s students is uncertain.

Here’s everything you need to know about what happens after Dark Phoenix ends — and yes, this is a totally spoiler-free article.

Is there any kind of post-credits teaser at the end of Dark Phoenix offering a glimmer of hope about the future of Xavier’s beloved mutants? Can we expect a short Easter egg referencing the upcoming New Mutants film due out in April 2020?

No.

Dark Phoenix has nothing after the main film wraps and the credits start rolling. There are no mid-credits sequences or post-credits teasers of any kind, so once the credits start rolling, that’s it.

For anyone unmoved by Hans Zimmer’s excellent score who also don’t want to sit through the credits, feel free to leave if that’s your thing. Anyone who remains will be treated to a genuinely good piece of music and an odd piece of accompanying noise that almost feels like a riff on what the Avengers: Endgame post-credits scene did.

Dark Phoenix brought closure to 20 years worth of X-Men movies in a way that plenty of fans might take issue with, establishing an unprecedented new direction for the franchise that feels hopeful and refreshed.

Will Marvel Studios pick up with these characters in a few years time after the Disney-Fox merger? Dark Phoenix leaves the ending open for the possibility, but even if that doesn’t happen, the ending is good enough to satisfy — with or without a needless post-credits scene.

Dark Phoenix will be released in theaters Friday, June 7.
