Does 'Venom: The Last Dance' have a post-credits scene?

The rise of the MCU turned post-credits scenes from a rare occurrence to an expectation, not just for superhero movies but for major action tentpoles as well. However, while Venom is a Marvel character, Venom: The Last Dance is not part of the MCU. So, will it play by MCU expectations?

Tom Hardy reprises the roles of journalist/human host Eddie Brock and troublemaker/alien symbiote Venom in the third entry into this slippery and often silly franchise. Written and directed by Venom: Let There Be Carnage scribe Kelly Marcel, Venom: The Last Dance follows this calamitous odd couple as they evade the authorities — including surly soldier Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and traumatized scientist Dr. Teddy Payne (Juno Temple), not to mention an ancient evil known as Knull (played by Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis).

Over the course of this road trip comedy meets sci-fi drama, Marcel weaves plenty of threads (perhaps too many?), and leaves several dangling at movie's end. So, should you stay through the credits to see if there's answers to be found there?

Yes. Without spoilers, you'll want to stay seated as the credits roll. Not only will you get to witness a gleefully absurd montage of Venom variants exploding alongside the names of cast and crew, but also you'll get a mid-credits scene that teases where these movies could go next. Plus, after that whole shebang, there's a post-credits scene that has its own secrets. So hang in there, and while you're at it, marvel at the army of talented artists and technicians required to make a movie as utterly bonkers as Venom: The Last Dance.

Venom: The Last Dance opens exclusively in theaters Oct. 25.
