Does Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Have A Credits Scene? A Spoiler-Free Guide
It has been nearly five years, but the robots in disguise are finally getting ready to grace the silver screen again in "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts." If Paramount Pictures gets their way, the movie will merely be the start of a much more significant relaunch of the franchise, with an animated feature on the way next year. On the live-action side, the hope is that "Rise of the Beasts" will kickstart a new trilogy. Now the question is, does the action end when the credits for "Rise of the Beasts" start rolling? Or is there a post-credits scene of some kind that audiences need to wait for? We're here to answer that very question in spoiler-free fashion.
Seriously, we're not going to spoil anything here, so for those who wish to go into the movie blind, you're in the clear. We're just trying to let you know when you can make a break for the lobby. With that out of the way, let's get into it.
Does Rise of the Beasts have a credits scene?
To answer the question right up top, yes, "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" does indeed have a credits scene of some kind. As for when the scene appears? Audiences won't have to wait long, as it's more of a mid-credits scene that appears shortly after the credits initially begin rolling. Think of it more like the Starscream tease at the end of the first "Transformers" rather than one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe scenes that come after all of the credits have finished rolling. Fortunately, you're not going to have to wait around forever. Once you've made it to that scene, you're free to finally take that bathroom break.
How important is the scene?
Now for the bigger question at hand: Is this scene actually important to the future of the "Transformers" franchise? Or is this more of a bit of additional fun that is truly of no consequence? Without spoiling anything, we can say for certain that the mid-credits scene attached to the film is more for fun than anything else. This is to say, for those who need to run or don't feel like sitting through the credits, you're not going to miss some monumental moment or anything like that. The choice is yours.
"Rise of the Beasts" is directed by Steven Caple Jr. ("Creed II") and is taking the action back to the '90s. Incorporating characters from the much-beloved "Beast Wars" spin-off, this installment is a globetrotting adventure with the Autobots that introduces a whole new faction of Transformers — the Maximals — to join them as allies in the existing battle for Earth. Anthony Ramos ("In the Heights") and Dominique Fishback ("Project Power") lead the human cast.
"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" hits theaters on June 9, 2023.
