Predicting The Post-Credits Scenes Of Every Major 2018 Comic-Book Movie
7. Meet The New(er) Mutants - The New Mutants
The Movie: A comic-book movie that mixes an angsty teen drama with a supernatural horror, The New Mutants is about a young group of outcasts who are just beginning to discover their powers.
Despite its radically different tone, director Josh Boone has confirmed that it will connect to the main X-Men movies. How they connect remains to be seen, but like Logan and Deadpool before it, The New Mutants looks to be forging its own path, so expect any connections to be minor.
The Post-Credits Scene: Boone originally pitched The New Mutants as a trilogy - he knows where it starts, where it goes, and where it ends.
This was proven in an interview he gave to IGN. Here, Boone stated that mutants Karma and Warlock will pop up further down the road. If he already knows how they'll fit into his New Mutants trilogy, wouldn't it be unsurprising to learn that he's already plotted their introductions, in, say, a post-credits scene?
The scene could introduce Karma, Warlock, both of them, or even someone else. The New Mutants isn't the kind of franchise to tease a world-destroying villain or an Infinity Stone-esque MacGuffin; it's all about the characters, and bringing some fresh blood into the series is the best way to give it longevity.
And, taking those likely minor X-Men connections into account, we can't see this post-credits scene bringing in characters like Jean Grey, Cyclops, or any of that bunch.
If audiences like The New Mutants, giving them a taste of what to expect in the sequel - in the form of a kick-ass character introduction - would be the best possible choice for a post-credits scene.
