Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Channing Tatum (Magic Mike) star in Fly Me to the Moon, a romantic comedy period film that takes place during the Space Race. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon), Tatum plays a NASA director in charge of the Apollo 11 mission, while Johansson plays a marketing genius who is tasked with handling NASA’s publicity to drum up funding, to get the Astronauts to the Moon. You might be wondering if there’s anything you need to pay attention to after the movie finishes, so let’s see whether or not Fly Me to the Moon has a post-credits scene.
Is There a Post-Credits Scene in Fly Me to the Moon?
You can blast off right after the credits begin because Fly Me to the Moon does not have a post-credits scene. The credits start at the end of a scene, playing over a closing shot of NASA and a rocket launch. But, once the scene is finished there’s nothing substantial during or after the credits, other than the names of everybody who worked on the movie, which you could always stay and watch. Fly Me to the Moon is a movie that doesn’t need a sequel or a post-credits scene. Although, it might have had a nice blooper reel.
What could have played during the credits is archival footage of the actual moon landing. After a sizable movie – the film has a runtime of 132 minutes – about sending astronauts to the moon and back, including archival footage would’ve been a nice touch at the end. But, it’s not quite a biopic, so maybe Berlanti wanted to avoid sending mixed messages by including anything real at the end. You wouldn’t want audiences leaving the theater thinking they watched the true story of the Apollo 11 mission. Especially considering a large part of the movie is dedicated to faking the landing.
Of course, this is not a horror movie, an action flick, or a film in a long-standing superhero franchise. Fly Me to the Moon didn’t need a post-credits scene because not every film needs one. It’s probably a standalone romantic comedy, and while it might do well financially, romantic comedies are rarely made into franchises. What would a sequel even follow, Apollo 12?
You can watch Fly Me to the Moon when it rockets into theaters on July 12, 2024.
