How Many Masters of the Universe's Post-Credit Scenes Are There?
Director Travis Knight's highly anticipated live-action Masters of the Universe reboot has officially charged into theaters, bringing Prince Adam, Teela, and the fiendish Skeletor to life for a whole new generation. Apart from their highly anticipated comeback, ahead of their theatrical release, we can finally confirm there is not one, not two, but three post-credit scenes!
The first post-credit scene is right after the film ends, the second comes after an animated sequence of credits, while the final count is right at the very end (which urges viewers to sit back until the actual end of the movie).
Considering that plenty of fans are still unsure and left speculative over a future Masters of the Universe 2, these three post-credits scenes might have the answer we've long been looking for.
What the Post-Credits Could Mean for Masters of the Universe's Franchise
The first post-cred is a fun nod to a missing character from the original He-Man Filmation cartoon: Orko. Orko pops up to explain the message of the movie, straight to the camera, and ends up engaging with the audience more than with the characters from the movie: "In today's story," Orko said, "We saw muscles don't necessarily make a man."
The second post-credits scene sees Queen Marlena (Charlotte Riley) and Duncan/Man-at-Arms (Idris Elba) discussing a mysterious person after Adam/He-Man reclaims Eternos. As Marlena expresses hope for a "she" to return, the camera cuts to somewhere else in Eternia, and a familiar sword starts to materialize out of thin air: in comes the Sword of Protection, and the person holding it is none other than She-Ra, He-Man's twin sister. It's a safe bet that She-Ra will either lead the Masters of the Universe sequel or at least reunite with her twin brother.
Last and not least, the third and final bonus scene is the actual post-credits tease, where the defeated Evil-Lyn (Alison Brie) spots Skeletor's disembodied head on the floor, and as she quipped, "I must say, you've looked better." The screen cuts to black, with the sound of Skeletor's cackle echoing in the background, implying he, too, will likely return in the sequel.
Ultimately, these three stingers prove that Travis Knight's reboot isn't just a one-off nostalgia trip, but rather a long-term launchpad for a growing interconnected cinematic universe. From the meta-nod to its 1980s roots to the classic She-Ra tease and the potential to bring Skeletor back, the film sets up a pretty thrilling future for Eternia, which sums up one thing: the battle for the universe has only just begun.
In the meantime, fans can expect Masters of the Universe to premiere on the big screens on June 5, 2026.
