‘Logan’ Won’t Have A Post-Credits Scene After All, But May Still Have Something Extra
Earlier this week, sources indicated that the cut ofLoganall the critics saw over the weekend didn’t have a post-credits scene. However, a couple days after that, there was a change in the film’s runtime. 20th Century Fox updated the length ofLoganso that it was about three minutes longer than the cut that screened for critics. Then came confirmation that the extension of the runtime wasdue to a post-credits scenebeing included, or so we thought.
The same source that previously confirmed the existence of aLogancredits scene has since rescinded that story. But in the same breath, they indicate that while those extra few minutes won’t be spent on a credits scene, fans will still get some kind of treat before the movie starts. Find out more after the jump.
Our friends atColliderupdated theirLogancredits scene report with this information:
Previously I reported that Logan would have a post-credits scene. After talking with more sources I’ve learned I was wrong in my original report. Logan does not have a post-credits scene. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. After you see Logan you’ll understand why a post-credits scene would feel out of place based on the tone of the picture.
However, after doing some digging I’ve learned I wasn’t altogether wrong about Logan having something cool for the fans. But instead of it being after the credits, maybe it’s before the movie has started…
Considering just how powerful the send-off ofHugh Jackmanas Wolverineis supposed to be inLogan, including plenty of praise for whatever the final shot of the film is, having a post-credits scene certainly felt like something that would take away from that vibe. Therefore, I’m happy to hear that they’re just letting the movie stand on its own with no teaser for what’s next in theX-Menfilm franchise universe at Fox.
So what could this extra footage be if it’s playing before the movie? Well, if it’s just a few minutes, it’s presumably some kind of teaser trailer. The question is, which movie will Fox be teasing beforeLogan? This year the studio hasDeadpool 2, New Mutantsand the tentatively titledX-Men: Supernovagoing into production this spring/summer. Any of them would make for a great teaser, but one might be more likely than the other.
You might remember that we heard awhile back that aDeadpoolcameo was shot forLogan, but it was vehemently denied by directorJames MangoldandDeadpoolstarRyan Reynolds. Since then, the source of that rumor has learned that the footage they initially heard was shot with Ryan Reynolds mightend up being a promo forLoganthat also features Stan Lee. But perhaps this isn’t a promo for Logan, but a teaser forDeadpool 2that was specifically shot to play before Logan. That would make perfect sense since the audience there is already seeing an R-rated movie.
This is all just speculation for now, but there will be something for fans that plays forLogan. We’ll find out what that is next week when Logan arrives onMarch 3.
