‘Logan’ will not have a post-credit scene
Earlier this week, sources indicated that the cut of Logan all the critics saw over the weekend didn’t have a post-credits scene, but changes to the runtime pointed to 20th Century Fox possibly adding a short scene.
Collider reports that the scene will not be coming: “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…”
Fans are assuming that the treat may be a teaser for one of the upcoming Fox films: Deadpool 2, New Mutants and the tentatively titled X-Men: Supernova going into production this spring/summer.
Slash Film added this: “You might remember that we heard awhile back that a Deadpool cameo was shot for Logan, but it was vehemently denied by director James Mangold and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. Since then, the source of that rumor has learned that the footage they initially heard was shot with Ryan Reynolds might end up being a promo for Logan that also features Stan Lee. But perhaps this isn’t a promo for Logan, but a teaser for Deadpool 2 that was specifically shot to play before Logan. That would make perfect sense since the audience there is already seeing an R-rated movie.”
Logan is set to be rated-R, full of profanity and violence. Dafne Keen will be central to the story, both in purpose with Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and in action, as Keen will become X-23.
Stephen Merchant is set to play Caliban with Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez.
Logan arrives March 3, 2017.
