Christopher Nolan's Ancient Greek epic The Odyssey has no post-credits, mid-credits, or end-credits scene, according to NBC. None of Nolan's previous films have included such scenes, despite the Marvel Cinematic Universe popularizing them. Nolan is also not known for sequels, except for the Dark Knight trilogy, which was always planned as a three-film story.
What Happens During the Credits?
However, the credits feature a first for the Oscar-winning director: an original song titled When I'm Home, performed by James Blake, rapper Travis Scott (who also plays the Bard in the film), and composer Ludwig Göransson. The track was co-written by Nolan alongside the trio of musicians.
Posting on Instagram about the track, Blake wrote: “Listen out for me on the soundtrack of @theodysseymovie - what an honour, and what a year.”
