Is there a Meg 2: The Trench post-credits scene?

The Meg 2: The Trench is in cinemas now, so does the monster movie feature a post-credits scene?

Having been popularized by the Marvel movies, post-credits scenes feature in countless blockbusters these days. While other films feature additional footage during their credits.

Sometimes these brief sequences are used to set up future films. Other times they are there for comedic affect, paying off something set-up earlier in the movie to send you out of the cinema with a smile.

Does The Meg 2: The Trench have a post-credits scene?

No, The Meg 2: The Trench does not have a post-credits scene. Nor does it feature a mid-credits scene. So when those names start scrolling up the screen, it really is the end of the movie.

That’s consistent with the first Meg movie, which also didn’t feature any mid or post-credits material.

The movie does set up a Part 3, however – concerning Megalodon Haiqi – as covered in our ending explainer: “They speculate that Haiqi is pregnant but surmise that pregnant Haiqi is ‘another day problem’ – thereby setting up a sequel. Those breeding megs are set to result in multiple births – and an onslaught of ferocious megs attacking.

“However, could Haiqi and her family become allies? It would follow a similar arc to that of velociraptor Blue in Jurassic World, a trained dinosaur with a special bond with her trainer. Haiqi’s pregnancy also sets up the idea that we could ultimately see Meiying become pregnant in a future instalment as the pair’s stories continue to entwine.

“A sequel would likely introduce further as-yet-unseen creatures emerge from the newly discovered depths of the ocean, too.”

What is The Meg 2: The Trench about?
