Does Project Hail Mary Have Any Post-Credits Scenes?

Viewers are curious to know whether Project Hail Mary includes a post-, mid-, or end-credits scene. Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the sci-fi adventure is adapted from Andy Weir’s 2021 novel of the same name. It follows a science teacher whose memory gradually returns while aboard a spaceship. As he pieces things together, he realizes he’s required to embark on a high-stakes mission to save Earth. This happens after he discovers a mysterious substance that could kill the sun. However, his journey may not be entirely solo, as unexpected help could come his way.

Is there a post-credits scene in Project Hail Mary’s ending?

No, there’s no post-credits scene at the end of Project Hail Mary. The audience is free to leave the theaters once the credits begin to roll.

While there’s no additional scene, a small detail appears at the very end of the movie that viewers have taken note of. According to After Credits, once the credits finish rolling, four badges, similar to those seen on astronaut suits, appear on screen. The first three logos represent the production companies: PPI, Open Invite Films, and Lord Miller Productions. The final badge features a moving Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) logo, where, as the lion’s head moves, the alien Rocky’s sounds can be heard in the background.

Generally, filmmakers add a bonus scene to either address pre-existing plot queries or tease a sequel. However, in Project Hail Mary’s case, the movie appears to be self-contained with no loose ends. While no sequel has been officially announced, there is still a possibility it could happen, based on recent remarks from Weir.

In a conversation with ScreenRant, Weir revealed that he’s currently focused on his stand-alone sci-fi book and needs something strong to run with if he thinks of doing a Project Hail Mary sequel. “I know, I know, and many have pointed that out, but I don’t feel like I have anything strong enough to run with yet. I’m working on this other story. Hopefully, in time, I’ve got bits and pieces of good ideas for sequels, but not enough to run with. If I’m going to sequel it, I want it to be good,” he explained.
