Let’s make this simple: You want to know if there are any post- or mid-credits scenes in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The answer is no, there are none.
It’s been one wild, stunt-filled ride over the past 29 years, but every mission must come to an end eventually. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is the final entry in this long-running series, as Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt confronts his most daring and high-stakes mission yet.
We’ll have our full breakdown of the ending for The Final Reckoning on Friday. But for now, you probably have just one question.
Is There a Post-Credits Scene in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning?
As mentioned above, the eighth and final Mission: Impossible movie has no mid- or post-credits scenes. You’re free to leave once the credits start rolling. Though, as always, it never hurts to stick around and show some appreciation for all the cast and crew who made those death-defying stunts happen.
The lack of a post-credits scene isn’t necessarily that surprising, given that they’ve never really been a thing with this particular Hollywood franchise. Still, with this supposedly being the last entry in the series, you might think Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie would want to give fans one last nod before sending Ethan Hunt off into the sunset. Apparently not.

In IGN’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning review, Clint Gage gave the film a 6 out of 10, writing, “While its action is reliably thrilling and a few of its most exciting sequences are sure to hold up through the years, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning tries to deal with no less than the end of every living thing on the planet – and suffers because of it. The somber tone and melodramatic dialogue miss the mark of what’s made this franchise so much fun for 30 years, but the door is left open for more impossible missions and the hope that this self-serious reckoning isn’t actually final.”
