It’s a modern movie phenomenon: if you’re here, you’re surely wondering if there is a Tenet post-credits scene. We can say unequivocally that, after the lights are up and the credits roll at the end of Christopher Nolan’s new movie, you’re free to navigate the popcorn-ridden aisles and make your way out of the theatre. There is no Tenet post-credits scene, just your usual roll of credits, from best boy to gaffer.

Don’t worry, there are no Tenet spoilers here.

But there is a reason to stick around, even if it’s not a Tenet post-credits scene: described as the “final piece of the puzzle” by the director himself, the movie’s official song, “The Plan” by Travis Scott, starts playing over the credits.

  • Maximus (Aaron Moten) in the Fallout TV show Fallout season 2, episode 8 post-credits scene explained: how does it set up the next season?

It’s the only time you’ll hear it in the entire runtime, for starters, and you might want to listen out closely for the lyrics. If you’ve already heard the song, they’ll take on a whole new meaning once you’ve spent time with Tenet. Nolan was really out there sneaking (mild) spoilers on to Spotify.

With moviegoing audiences conditioned to waiting through the credits, it means you can also take in just how many people aside from Christopher Nolan were involved in making things tick in the time inverted thriller. Which is always nice.

For more from Tenet, be sure to check out sister publication Total Film’s blowout cover feature from their time on set. There are also the first Tenet reactions for those looking to get a gut reaction from the general moviegoing public before setting out to watch it.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
