I think it is fair to say that The First Omen is the first serious horror film of the year. All the other films that we’ve had so far were just cash grabs targeting the wallets of hungry horror fans. However, The First Omen seems like a genuine attempt at a serious horror film that will send a chill down your spine just like the original film. Be it the trailer or the early social media reactions, everything is in favor of the Arkasha Stevenson directorial. Considering the positivity around the film, the director has teased that she has many more ideas of where this franchise can head in the future. So, do we get a tease of these ideas in the film? Let’s find out.
Does The First Omen Tease Upcoming Films Of The Franchise?
The concept of post credit scenes was started by Marvel Studios in modern cinema. Giving the audience just one more nugget of the film that teases about the upcoming developments in the franchise. After Marvel, DC also followed the trend and soon post credit scenes became a norm in the superhero genre.
However, recently many mainstream Hollywood franchises have also adopted this tradition with Fast X having a post-credits scene where we saw Luke Hobbs’ return. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts added a mid-credits too in order to revive Mirage. There are still some franchises which opt against the trope. For instance, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse didn’t have a post-credits, for example.
Just like Across the Spider-Verse, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Meg 2: The Trench, The Equalizer 3 A Haunting In Venice The Creator, The Exorcist: Believer, Madame Web and Godzilla x Kong, The First Omen doesn’t have a post credit scene.
The First Omen will release in theatres on April 5th, 2024.
