James Cameron has returned with Avatar: Fire and Ash, and as promised, the third movie is indeed a treat for the senses. Of course, there are mixed reactions around the film's ending, but fans are still excited to experience the third installment in theaters, which they should!
Fire and Ash is a visual spectacle that should be watched on the big screen. But before stepping into theaters to watch the three-hour-long film, several fans may want to know if they should expect a post-credit scene in Avatar 3. Almost every big movie franchise has been following the post-credit scene trend, so there must be a bonus scene in Fire and Ash as well, right? Well, here's the answer.
'It's Pretty Heart-Wrenching In A Good Way' Avatar: Fire And Ash Is Already Being Hailed As 'The Best' Of The Franchise
Early feedback for Avatar: Fire And Ash has led to claims it's the "best" of the franchise.
Avatar: Fire and Ash Doesn't Feature a Post-Credit Scene
You Can Leave Your Seats Once The Credits Start Rolling
Unfortunately, Avatar: Fire and Ash doesn't have a post-credit scene, which means you aren't getting any bonus scene to set up Avatar 4. Of course, it might be disappointing for fans who are expecting a mid-credit or post-credit scene in Fire and Ash. But it's important to remember that James Cameron didn't incorporate a post-credits scene in the first or the second Avatar movie. In fact, James Cameron has never included a post-credit scene in any of his movies, so it remains the same for the Avatar franchise.
The first Avatar film cleverly teased the sequel with its ending, in which we see Jake Sully open his eyes. Honestly, that particular ending took away the need to include any post-credit scene. Similarly, Avatar: The Way of Water ended with Neteyam's death and Spider saving Colonel Quaritch from a sinking ship. These events were enough to set the stage for Avatar: Fire and Ash, and a post-credit scene would have been nothing but fan service.
All being said, Avatar: Fire and Ash technically concludes the events of The Way of Water. It doesn't establish any further storyline for Avatar 4 and everything that's beyond. So, every fan who expects the franchise to return with Avatar 4 will wait for a tease for what's coming next. But sadly, there's nothing as such when the credits start rolling.
Avatar: Fire And Ash Will Make You Sit During The Credits With Stunning Visuals
The Credits Also Feature Miley Cyrus' New Song
Sure, there isn't a post-credit scene in Avatar: Fire and Ash, but that doesn't mean you should completely ignore the credits. The Avatar movies feature the massive world of Pandora, and everything on this planet is just so beautiful. James Cameron knows very well that fans will never get enough of Pandora and its stunning creatures. So, the filmmaker ensures that the film's credits are accompanied by beautiful visuals that are just too good to look away from. From the Wind Traders in the sky to the massive Tulkuns in the depths of the sea, the credits show us everything that's beautiful about Pandora.
On top of that, Miley Cyrus' new song Dream As One plays during the credits. It's a beautiful song that you would want to listen to after witnessing the emotionally heavy ending of Avatar: Fire and Ash. So yes, even though there's no bonus scene in the film, there are still more than enough reasons for you to sit through the credits if, of course, you aren't in a rush. And hey, there's no better way to appreciate the brilliant work by the Fire and Ash team than seeing their names appear on screen during the credits.
