Why Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Does Not Include A Post-Credits Scene

Den Of Thieves 3 Is Not Guaranteed

The decision not to include a post-credits scene withDen of Thieves 2may come as a surprise to some viewers. Although the first film also did not include anything in the credits, it still ended the story in a way that allowed the franchise to continue if it was successful enough. The sequel also does not close the book on this franchise, but a credits scene setting upDen of Thieves 3could have backfired.Lionsgate has yet to confirm that another movie will happen, as that decision could rest onDen of Thieves 2’s box officeperformance.

There’s also the reality that some viewers may not expect a film likeDen of Thieves 2to include a credits scene, meaning the film could risk alienating some viewers who would miss the tag. This is not a major franchise with a history of credits scenes that has conditioned audiences to expect them over the years. While aDen of Thieves 2: Panterapost-credits scene could have still worked and been a nice touch, it’s a safer play for the sequel not to include one and see what the future holds.
