With the release of Jurassic World Dominion, the franchise that began almost 30 years ago with the original Jurassic Park is seemingly at an end. It's a good thing then that the movie brings back so many members of the original cast, helping to make the film feel like a grand finale. This sense of nostalgia is common among big movie franchises nowadays, as are post-credits scenes.
Many fans may be wondering whether Dominion has a post-credits scene, namely one which sets up the next film. And it's a fair question, considering that the previous movie followed this trend. The answer will determine whether dino fans will sit tight after the credits begin rolling, so for those who want the answer now, here's a look into what happens after Jurassic World Dominion ends.
Is There a Post-Credits Scene In Jurassic World Dominion?
As mentioned, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the second entry in the new Jurassic movies, did have a post-credits scene. Checking up on a group of dinosaurs roaming modern society, the unsettling moment showed pterodactyls in what seemed to be France. The location was revealed to be Las Vegas, showing just much the creatures infiltrated notable cities and destinations. And it's this concept that Jurassic World Dominion plays around with, setting the series in a true Jurassic World.
Surprisingly enough, there isn't a post-credit in the Jurassic World Dominion. Once the credits for the film begin rolling, that's the end of the story. Considering how huge and anticipated the movie was, it may seem shocking to some viewers that it doesn't have this now arguably necessary blockbuster element. However, given the intentions of Jurassic World Dominion, this makes sense and shows a surprising amount of restraint on the studio's part.
Jurassic World Dominion Is the Final Movie (For Now)
Jurassic World Dominion isn't just the culmination of two casts of characters' stories -- it's also the ending for the Jurassic franchise. Touted as the "end of the Jurassic era," the movie is supposed to put the franchise to bed for a while. That's why there's no after-credits scene, as that would suggest more story on the way.
However, money talks, and life finds a way. Given the gaps between The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, as well as that movie and the first Jurassic World, it's not like the Jurassic franchise is known for staying extinct. There are likely some follow-ups planned for the film, though they'll probably follow an entirely new cast. However, to give the illusion of finality, Jurassic World Dominion is effectively the end, working as a way for fans to say goodbye.
