2. Yes, It Sets Up ANOTHER Sequel

No spoilers here, but Happy Death Day 2U has a mid-credits scene, and to the surprise of few, it of course nods aggressively towards the potential for a third film in the unlikely franchise.

Unfortunately it's not really a compelling hook at all, once again promising a direction even further away from the series' roots, with a closing gag that feels more mean-spirited than amusing.

The scene is at least flippant enough that it could be easily ignored if a sequel never happened, but come on, we all know Happy Death Day 3U (?) is already being written.
