Let's make this simple. You want to know if there are any mid- or post-credits scenes in The Running Man. The answer is no, though the entirety of the closing credits are accompanied by some in-universe imagery that does add a bit to the world of the film and where things go after the conclusion.
Be sure to check back on this page Friday for a full spoiler breakdown of the film!
Those who are only familiar with The Running Man thanks to the 1987 movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger may be surprised by how different the specifics of the story are in director Edgar Wright’s new version, which is much more rooted in the original 1982 Stephen King novel vs. that earlier adaptation. This version of Ben Richards (Glen Powell) isn’t captured and forced to play the diabolical game show, The Running Man, but instead volunteers for it in his desperation to help his sick baby daughter, Cathy. Even if he is killed within the 30 days he has to try to avoid the game’s five dreaded Hunters – led by the always-masked McCone (Lee Pace) – he’ll at least likely earn a lot of money along the way that his wife, Sheila (Jayme Lawson), can use to buy Cathy the medicine they can’t currently afford.
And so that's the set-up for this new take on The Running Man, which we'll be delving into fully starting on Friday with an ending explained (do people still bookmark pages? Because you should do that right here). But in the meantime, you may be sitting in the theater wondering if there are any post-credits scenes or not...
Is There a Running Man Post-Credits Scene?
No, there’s no actual scenes once we cut to the credits. However, for the entire duration of the closing credits, we see what look like pages from a fanzine in the background, though they’re filled with information written after the events of the film.
