Should you sit through the credits for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire? It's a question that Marvel movies have made a real concern for moviegoers. Sure, you might be eager to rush to the restroom, hit up a post-movie restaurant for a debrief with friends, or get back home to the sitter before it gets too late. But the MCU has made the end credits of movies fertile ground for bonus material. So — can you take the risk of running out as the end credits hit?
Post-credit or mid-credit scenes might set up a sequel with a curious new character, reveal a surprising cameo, or offer fans some bonus silliness. When it comes to the Ghostbusters franchise, the Jason Reitman-directed Ghostbusters: Afterlifehad mid-credit goodies galore. First up, that sequel's mid-credit scenes featured a playful reunion of Ghostbustersstars Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver as sarcastic charmer Peter Venkman and his beloved Dana Barrett, respectively. Then there was the return of Annie Potts as sassy Janine Melnitz and Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore, now wildly wealthy and respected. All of this set things up for a future film in the franchise that would bring the original 'busters and the Afterlifecrew together again, including Egon Spengler's daughter Callie (Carrie Coon) and her kids (Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace).
But Reitman handed over his Frozen Empiredirecting dutiesto his Afterlife co-writer, Gil Kenan (Monster House, City of Ember). So does this frosty sequel, which is being slammed by critics, offers more fun during and after the credits? A few flurries!
No post-credit scene was shown to critics, but if you worried for the survival of a certain pack of sweet ghostly critters, you should stay partway through the credits. After the Spengler family's story — and that of the OG ghostbusters — is all wrapped up, these sugary mischief-makers have one last mid-credits scene to score some giggles.
But hey, staying through the credits is still a great way to appreciate the full scope of people power that went into creating the kooky and creepy adventure before you.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empireopens in theaters March 22.
