Post credit scenes
Does Hobbs and Shaw have any post-credits scene? The movie has three fantastic post-credits scenes. These are;
First post-credits scene
In the film, it is apparent that the relationship between Deckard Shaw and Hattie Shaw is somewhat strained. Although the brother and sister have a tense relationship, Deckard takes the job to protect Hattie because their mother, Magdalene Shaw, ordered him to do so. Magdalene is incarcerated but is doing her best to get out of prison. She reminisces over the times when all her family members loved and supported each other.
In this post-credits scene, Magdalene comes to meet her prison visitors, only for her to see Hattie and Deckard together. They give her a birthday cake that contains a plan to escape from prison. She hopes that this is her way out of jail.
Second post-credits scene
At the end of Fast & Furious 8, Luke Hobbs had made a promise not to engage in the US government bidding. In this film, he breaks that promise so that he can save the world. In the process, he also has some fun. Towards the end, it is evident that his family comes first until Agent Locke calls him. He receives an update that the battle of retrieving the virus is not going well.
Final post-credits scene
Agent Locke calls Hobbs when he is short of breath and holding on to his bleeding guts. He informs Hobbs that he has been shot. As he explains how it happens, he realises that he is not bleeding at all. He is merely covered in another person's blood.
