Summary

  • My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is the final installment of the trilogy, but the future of the franchise is uncertain.
  • The movie does not have a post-credits scene, as it tells a complete story within its runtime.
  • Not including a post-credits scene was a safer choice, as it avoids leaving audiences with unresolved feelings if a sequel never happens.

The My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise returns with a third installment, but does My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 have a post-credits scene teasing more for the Portokalos family? The latest adventure for Toula (Nia Vardalos) and Ian (Josh Corbett) finally sees the franchise venture to Greece. Picking up several years after My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, the family travels to the Portokalos homeland following the death of a family member and in time for a family reunion. It allows the enjoyable characters a chance to reunite on the big screen again, possibly for the last time.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is the final entry in the first trilogy of the surprisingly successful romantic-comedy movie franchise. The continued interest in the lives of Toula and Ian and their family is what made the trilogy capper possible, and what the future holds for the characters next is unconfirmed. It is more likely that another movie will be made if My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3's box office performs better than expected. However, audiences do not always have to wait for a sequel confirmation to know where franchises are going, as Hollywood loves end-credits scenes to tease future movies or include extra jokes.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Does Not Have A Post-Credits Scene

It is confirmed that there is no My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 post-credits scene attached to the movie. The movie, which franchise star and writer Nia Vardalos also directs, tells its complete story by the time the credits begin to roll. The lack of an after-credits scene should not be too surprising considering neither of the previous two My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies included one. Audiences are still encouraged to stick around and watch the credits to see the names of everyone who worked on the movie whether they are watching it for the first time in theaters or when My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 releases on streaming.

Why My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Didn't Need A Post-Credits Scene

The cast of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

While some could be disappointed that My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 does not have a post-credits scene, one was not needed for the movie. Nia Vardalos wraps up her story and potentially the franchise during the movie's runtime. It could have been natural to include an additional joke or show bloopers instead of a traditional end-credits scene. However, including anything that directly teased My Big Fat Greek Wedding 4 could put the franchise in a corner if it ever does want to continue.

Not including a post-credits scene after My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is also the safer play for this franchise. If a sequel was teased in this fashion and the follow-up movie never happened, audiences would be left with more of an unresolved feeling about the franchise's story and characters. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 instead works as the potential final installment of the series while also leaving the door open for more if it is successful enough.
