Warning: spoilers ahead.
A lot of viewers have been missing a post-credits scene in Don’t Look Up, the new comedy sci-fi movie that dropped on Netflix over Christmas.
The star-studded film sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence play two astronomers who try to warn the world about an approaching comet that will destroy the Earth in a not-so-subtle metaphor for the current climate crisis.
Here come the spoilers.
In a bleak ending, they are unsuccessful in their attempt to get the world to act, and the film ends with them sat around a dinner table with their loved ones as the comet hits.
This is followed by a post-credits scene showing some of the wealthy characters who escaped Earth in a spaceship landing on an alien world thousands of years in the future.
While most people caught this moment, some viewers have not noticed the movie’s second post-credits scene, which features Jonah Hill who plays the president’s son and chief of staff in the film.
After being left behind on Earth by the president, his character crawls out of some rubble following the asteroid hit, miraculously surviving its impact.
And the first thing he decides to do as he looks around is to get his phone out.
As he does so, he films a video for his social media and can be heard saying: “What’s up y’all, I’m the last man on earth! Don’t forget to like and subscribe!”
Many took to Twitter to warn others not to turn off the movie too early and miss either of the scenes.
For all those who watch DON’T LOOK UP there are 2 secret scenes during and after the credits.
