Does The Mummy Have A Post-Credits Scene?

After a film ends, even if its not from Marvel Studios, you'll see a surprising number of moviegoers checking their phones to see if there is an after-credits scene or just stick around as the final credits roll, hoping or expecting to see a extra-footage that sets up a potential sequel or a spin-off.

And since The Mummy is the first film in Universal Pictures' Dark Universe -- a shared universe for its classic movie monsters -- audiences might assume there will be a post-credits scene teasing Bill Condon's Bride of Frankenstein or Johnny Depp's The Invisible Man or Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's Monster.

While speaking with IGN, The Mummy director and co-architect of the Dark Universe, Alex Kurtzman, was asked about the possibility of an after-credits scene.

"No, no, that's Marvel's domain," he responded. "So render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Maybe it'll feel more appropriate down the line, as the universe builds itself. I don't think any of wanted to be accused of ripping off what they did so well."
