Is it worth staying until the end for a post-credit scene in Jason Statham's latest R-rated action flick, The Beekeeper? Statham has established himself as a tough guy on the big screen, taking down foes in the Fast & Furious franchise, working with his Expendables crew, and delivering some serious beat downs in The Transporter series.
He takes on the role of a retired beekeeper, who was once a high-ranking intelligence operative responsible for "protecting the hive" by eliminating threats when the law cannot. The film will be released in theaters this weekend, and if you're wondering if there's a post-credits scene, stay tuned for potential spoilers.
Is there a post-credits scene in The Beekeeper?
No, The Beekeeper doesn’t have a post-credits scene.
The movie concludes with Adam Clay, played by Statham, escaping from the president's beach house with the help of FBI Agent Verona Parker, portrayed by Emmy Raver-Lampman. He retrieves his scuba gear from the beach and disappears into the sea before being discovered by the secret service.
Traditionally, movies do not have anything after the credits. They used to be a fun addition for those who stayed until the very end, such as Ferris Bueller advising viewers to go home. However, the influence of Marvel films has led to many of us feeling the need to stay and frantically search for post-credits scenes after watching a movie.
The Beekeeper has the potential for a franchise, but we don't need a tease for more. The story is complete and we can survive not knowing where he ended up. Our review stated, "Hell hath no fury like a Stath scorned, and The Beekeeper is another thrilling dose of Bee-movie mayhem."
The Beekeeper is in cinemas now. You can read our breakdown of the ending here, and find out more about how to watch it here.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Jason Statham and action movies, I was eagerly anticipating the release of The Beekeeper. The film did not disappoint, delivering an adrenaline-pumping and thrilling ride from start to finish. Statham's portrayal of the retired beekeeper turned high-ranking intelligence operative was exceptional, showcasing his signature blend of toughness and charisma. The action sequences were expertly choreographed and executed, leaving me on the edge of my seat throughout the movie.
While I thoroughly enjoyed The Beekeeper, I must admit that the lack of a post-credits scene left me feeling slightly underwhelmed. Given the current trend of Marvel movies popularizing post-credits scenes, I had hoped for a glimpse into a potential sequel or some additional insight into the film's universe. However, I understand that not every movie needs a post-credits scene, and The Beekeeper's story felt complete and satisfying without one. Overall, I highly recommend The Beekeeper to fans of action movies and Jason Statham's captivating performances.
