Does Anaconda have a credits scene? A spoiler-free guide

“Anaconda” is more than just a creature feature beloved by people of a certain age who grew up in the ’90s. It’s a surprisingly enduring franchise, with not one but four sequels, not to mention a crazy Chinese remake in 2024. Now, Sony Pictures has revived the franchise for modern audiences with a meta twist and an A-list cast led by Jack Black (“A Minecraft Movie”) and Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man”). So, is this a one-off revival? Or does Sony have more ambitious plans for the franchise?

It’s not historically a franchise that defines the sequel. “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid” was not released seven years after the original. A series of direct-to-video offerings followed, including 2015’s wild low-budget crossover “Lake Placid vs. Anaconda.” That said, the new “Anaconda” is a big-budget studio film that Sony is pouring its resources into. So it wouldn’t be out of place to include a post-credits scene setting up potential future installments.

We will disclose whether or not “Anaconda” 2025 contains post-credits scenes. without spoiler fashion. Seriously, there are no spoilers to follow, just information to help viewers maximize the viewing experience. That said, let’s get straight to the point, shall we?

Yes, the new “Anaconda” has some credits scenes. The first is more of an epilogue that takes place pretty much right after the end of the film itself. This one is pretty important for those who are invested in these characters and what might come next. The second is more of a mid-credits scene that helps highlight something that happened earlier in the film. Both are important for a variety of reasons, so sticking around is probably worth it.

The new opus of the franchise is directed by Tom Gormican, best known for the Nicolas Cage comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”. The cast also includes Steve Zahn (“Saving Silverman”), Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) and Daniela Melchior (“The Suicide Squad”). The film’s synopsis reads:

It’s not a reboot. It’s an entirely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic “classic” “Anaconda,” which stars Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since they were kids and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a mid-life crisis pushes them to take the plunge, they head to the Amazon to begin filming. But things get real when a real giant anaconda appears, transforming their comically chaotic movie setting into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? This could get them killed…

“Anaconda” hits theaters on December 25, 2025.
