Companion has sparked curiosity among moviegoers and they are eager to know if the sci-fi horror film includes a post-credits scene. Directed and written by Drew Hancock, Companion takes viewers on a suspenseful journey with Iris, a sentient robot, whose weekend getaway in a secluded cabin turns into a chaotic experience. With the film set to premiere in theaters, many fans are wondering if Companion has a post, mid, or end-credits scene.
Here are all the details regarding the end credits for Companion.
Does Companion have an end, mid, or post-credits scene?
Companion does have a mid-credits scene at the end.
Filmmakers often use credit scenes to provide additional insights into the story, hint at sequels, or tease future developments. Companion does exactly that by setting up a potential future story for Iris with the additional scene at the very end.
The movie centers on Iris, an advanced robot that starts to develop feelings for Josh. However, she soon realizes that Josh is not as caring and genuine as she initially thought he was. As Iris notices his manipulative and controlling behavior, she yearns for independence, which ultimately drives her down a violent path in her quest for autonomy.
Here’s what happened in Companion’s mid-credits scene
Ultimately, she manages to kill Josh by the end, and the mid-credits scene shows her driving off into a promising future with Sergey’s car and cash. She is seen smiling and waving to another woman in a car, who may be a robot like her or someone who has been trapped in a toxic relationship.
While waving, Iris’ robotic arm shows and the film gets a happy ending with the sense that she truly accepts who she is. Her freedom from Josh and acceptance of who she is set up a potential sequel with more adventures in store for her down the line. But whether a Companion 2 ends up happening remains to be seen, because this also works well as an open ending.
Companion features a talented cast, including Jack Quaid as Josh and Sophie Thatcher as Iris in the lead roles. It also features Marc Menchaca, Jaboukie Young-White, Woody Fu, Harvey Guillén, Matt McCarthy, Lukas Gage, Rupert Friend, and Megan Suri.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ Companion plays in theaters across the United States from January 31, 2025 onwards.
