Patty Jenkins: Wonder Woman Was Too Different for a DCEU Post-Credits Scene

Wonder Womandirector Patty Jenkins unveil why the film did n’t have a post - credits tantrum set up another DC Extended Universe film . Warner Bros. formally launch their cinematic world based on the Hero of Alexandria of DC Comics with Zack Snyder’sBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , which has since been come after by David Ayer’sSuicide Squadand Jenkins’Wonder Woman . Although the DCEU has naturally draw comparison to Marvel Studios ' Marvel Cinematic Universe ( since comic fan have been comparing the hero sandwich of the " large two " for 10 ) , one aspect in which Warner Bros ' shared macrocosm has set itself apart is its deficiency of post - credits scene .

While MCU pic now typically contain at least two post - credits setting ( and 20th Century Fox’sX - Menfilms often include them ) , the only DCEU film to have any credits vista wasSuicide Squad- and it was placed in the middle of the credits rather than after . Still , that did n’t stop DCEU fans from sticking around until the end of theWonder Womancredits to see if Jenkins ' installment in the enfranchisement would rally the next upcoming picture show , Snyder’sJustice League . Now , Jenkins reveals why she decided not to include a post - credits scene withWonder Woman .

In an interview withToronto Sun , concur with the release ofWonder Womanon DVD and Blu - ray , Jenkins was asked why Diana Prince ’s ( Gal Gadot ) solo outing did n’t feature a credits scene , especially as they ’ve become such a staple of superhero movies . Jenkins reply :

I ’m not always a believer in post - credit scenes . I find like they make sense if the films are extremely standardised . I think if you have a go at it the next picture is going to be lay in the same world or have the accurate same feeling , then I think it makes sense . To me , it does not make sense to have a commercial message for a completely different stylus of movie in the reference of another movie . One of my favourite thing about the DC Universe is they were tiptop supportive of me doing my own note , but there ’s no other picture show that they have that ’s of the same timber . So it just felt unearthly to do some other crossover . Also , the end of the movie was the end . It was n’t , ‘ Tune in afterwards for more . ’

sure as shooting , Jenkins has a point thatWonder Womanis incredibly unlike fromBatman V SupermanandSuicide Squadin terms of smell , and it may not have made sense for the photographic film to explicitly set upJustice League- though it could be argued that the modern scenes of Diana inWonder Womanwork to establish a comradeliness between her and Bruce Wayne / Batman ( Ben Affleck ) that will carry over intoJustice League . Further , the lack of post - credits scene , and Jenkins ' comment about the studio apartment being supportive of her aiming for a different flavor with the film , seems to reaffirm reports thatWarner Bros ' DCEU is film producer - driven .

Plus , Wonder Womanisn’t the only superhero film this twelvemonth that did n’t admit a post - credits view . Hugh Jackman ’s final motion picture as Wolverine , Logan , didn’t let in any credit sceneseven though all of Fox ’s most recentX - Menmovies have . But as director James Mangold argued , Logandidn’t of necessity warrant a post - credits scenery . As superhero movies and comic book version keep to maturate in popularity , their genre have begun to diversify and , as both Jenkins and Mangold have say , that means not every film call for a direct connexion to another installment in their dealership by room of a post - credits scene .

Of course , some fan may still be disappointed by that lack of connectivity , and moviegoers in all probability go intoWonder Womanhoping for at least a minuscule tease ofJustice League . But that say , Wonder Woman’sreviewscertainly did n’t lose for the deficiency of a post - credits scene - in fact , Jenkins ' strong stand for the motion-picture show is likely a intellect it was so well received by critic and fans likewise . For those hoping for more Wonder Woman though , Diana will be back inJustice Leaguelater this year , andJenkins will rejoin to directWonder Woman 2 , which is already set for a 2019 outlet date .
