Francis Ford Coppola’s ambitious sci-fi epic has finally made it to release, leaving questions about whether there is aMegalopolispost-credits scene of any kind. The trend in Hollywood of including credit scenes in movies is more commonly associated with the modern generation of filmmakers. While franchises used to be the only movies that would include post-credits scenes, standalone films with small and massive budgets have grown more accustomed to using them in the right instances. That could even apply to a passion project likeMegalopolisthat cost Francis Ford Coppola millions.
The question about whetherMegalopolisincludes a post-credits scene is more understandable after seeing the finale, which wraps up the main story but doesn’t completely tie up all loose ends. That could leave viewers with the thought that more answers will come somehow. Since Francis Ford Coppola is unlikely to make a sequel, the next best option is a post-credits scene. Whether anyone whowatchesMegalopolisin theaters or on streamingneeds to sit through the credits is known.

However, it is still encouraged to watch the credits to see the names of everyone who worked hard to make Coppola’s passion project a reality, ranging fromMegalopolis' castto the on set crew members or VFX artists.
Megalopolis' Credits Scene Decision Continues A 61 Year Francis Ford Coppola Streak
The Director Has A Trend With Post-Credits Scenes
It should not be that surprising thatMegalopolisdoes not have a post-credits scene. Francis Ford Coppola has never included a credits scene on any of his movies over the last 61 years. From his directorial debut withDementia 13in 1963 until 2024’s release ofMegalopolis, the acclaimed director has always left the credits alone. Audiences familiar with his filmography should know not to expect a credits scene since he has never experimented with them before.
That said, post-credits scenes were not nearly as popular when Francis Ford Coppola was more active making movies beforeMegalopolis. As his first new feature film since 2011, the sci-fi epic offered the filmmaker an opportunity to bring his bold, singular vision to life on a massive scale. He could have then usedMegalopolisas an opportunity to break the 61 year streak and use his first post-credits scene. He ultimately opted against doing so, and its potentially unlikely that he ever even considered including one.
