Universal and Leigh Whannell's reboot delivers a new take on the classic monster, and here's whether The Invisible Man has a post-credits scene. The reboot of the film property based on H.G. Wells' 1897 novel was originally developed as part of Universal's Dark Universe. Set to include classic movie monsters like the Mummy and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde among others, the Dark Universe was scrapped after Tom Cruise's The Mummy underperformed. The studio teamed up with Blumhouse Productions, a company known for their well-received horror offerings, and hired Whannell to write and direct The Invisible Man.
Instead of focusing on the character of Adrian Griffin, played in Whannell's film by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, The Invisible Man follows Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss). She escapes from her abusive and brilliant partner Adrian, only for him to fake his own death and start tormenting her as an invisible presence. As Adrian's tactics grow increasingly more dangerous for Cecilia's friends and family, she strives to prove he's not dead and has become the Invisible Man. Ahead of the film's release, The Invisible Man movie trailers have revealed much of the story, but there's still plenty Whannell and Universal held back from audiences.
Now that The Invisible Man is hitting theaters around the world, moviegoers may be wondering whether they need to stick around through the credits for any additional scenes or teases. The Invisible Man does NOT have a post-credits scene or any other Easter eggs. While the credits are always worth watching to see who was involved in the making of a film, The Invisible Man audiences shouldn't expect any credits scenes.
Since The Invisible Man isn't part of the Dark Universe, it makes sense that Whannell's film wouldn't include a credits scene setting up a future installment in the franchise. As of now, the Dark Universe is essentially dead, especially with the release of The Invisible Man because it replaces the film originally developed for Depp. Of course, a potential Invisible Man post-credits scene could've simply set up a sequel to this movie, but for whatever reason (some of which become clear after seeing the film), Whannell chose not to include any kind of credits scene or tease.
It remains to be seen what will become of the other movie monsters in Universal's purview after The Invisible Man's release. Since The Invisible Man movie reviews have been largely positive, the studio may choose to follow a similar route of rebooting the characters for their own standalone movies instead of trying to build a shared universe. Thanks in large part to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, studios tried for many years to establish interconnected franchises, but few were successful. The Invisible Man may be part of a new era that returns to focusing more on individual films. For now, all moviegoers need to know is they shouldn't expect a The Invisible Man post-credits scene.
