The Borderlands movie hasn’t set the world alight with early reviews, but fans of the franchise are still likely to tune in. As with any new film, though, a big question is whether it has a post-credits scene—and we can tell you.
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe started the trend of post-credits scenes, often providing huge reveals of future titles, and many others have followed suit. They’re not always big teases, however, and are sometimes just jokes or tongue-in-cheek comments.
Borderlands certainly feels like a franchise that can do a good job mocking this approach, and we’ve got the answer on whether you should stay seated when the credits start to roll.
Does Borderlands have an after-credits scene?

There is no post-credits scene in the Borderlands movie. However, you shouldn’t jump up and leave straight away, as the film does include a mid-credits scene.
This news shouldn’t come as a surprise, given the CEO of Gearbox previously told IGN that a Borderlands Cinematic Universe is planned, but it remains to be seen whether this plan has changed in the wake of negative reviews.
The inclusion of a mid-credits tease doesn’t guarantee that we’ll see anything teased acted upon, as movies often provide huge teases without a follow-up—including the tease towards the Sinister Six in Amazing Spider-Man 2 and 2008’s Incredible Hulk teasing the addition of the Leader—a character only now set to make an appearance in next year’s Captain America: Brave New World.

What is the Borderlands mid-credit scene?
Those hoping for a big tease for future Borderlands movies will be disappointed, as there is no such reveal. Instead, Borderlands opted for a small joke for viewers to enjoy without hinting at the future direction of the franchise.
The scene, according to GamesRadar, only lasts for a few moments and features Claptrap dancing and making a fourth-wall joke that this was his “Easter Egg” before the credits continue.
