Supergirl is now out in theaters and given the trend of superhero movies these days, you'll likely be wondering whether or not there is a Supergirl post-credits scene.
This will especially be the case after Superman featured two different stings at the end of its run last year. Well, if you're looking for answers then you're in the right place as below we get into all the details you need to know below.
Not only this, but we have split this guide across spoiler-free and spoiler-heavy sections. This means if you're just about to head to a screening, you'll know whether you need to stick around to the end or not. If you've seen the latest DCU movie as well, then you can skip right ahead to our spoiler section where we get into details about the ending of the movie.
Does Supergirl have a post-credits scene?
No, Supergirl does not have a post-credits scene. Unlike Superman, which had a mid-credits and a post-credits sting, the Milly Alcock-led film ends when the credits roll. You're more than welcome to sit through the whole credits though as if you do, you'll be treated to Claudia Sarne's wonderful score.
Why doesn't Supergirl have a post-credits scene?
This is the million-dollar question. It's not quite clear why Supergirl doesn't have a post-credits scene, as it was teased prior to release that it would. Only one month ago director Craig Gillespie confirmed that Supergirl would have a post-credits scene. Speaking to Collider, he did suggest that the film would have one post-credit scene but said he couldn't "tease" its contents.
There have also been some reports that Supergirl did have a post-credits scene during test screenings, but this was removed before the final cut. However, there has been no confirmation on that either way as of yet.
One possibility is that the events of the post-credits scene might have actually worked their way into the main runtime of the movie. This could be the case as the movie's final scene could also have worked as a post-credits scene.
What happens at the end of Supergirl? *SPOILERS*
Given there is no post-credits scene, it's worth diving into the movie's ending a little bit. After celebrating her birthday with Ruthye, Kara Zor-El heads back to Metropolis where she reunites with her cousin, Kal-El – or Clark Kent. She's brought Krypto along with her and has decided that she's keen to stay awhile.
While this doesn't directly set up the events of Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, we do know that Alcock's Supergirl will be involved in that movie. Therefore, the pair teaming up to fight crime across Earth seems to be where the sequel could begin.
