The new Netflix film Don’t Look Up by director Adam McKay
Don't Look Up is a satire that follows the people of Earth after learning that a planet-killing asteroid is heading our way. Things don't go well, to say the least, and the film ends with the planet being destroyed, as promised. However, Streep's character, the President of the United States, was among one of the ultra-rich folks who boarded a spacecraft and successfully exited the planet. The first of the film's two post-credits scenes takes place 22,740 years after the end of the movie, when the ship lands on a faraway planet. The survivors are woken up and begin exploring their new world. It doesn't take long for Streep's former president to be eaten by a strange animal called a Bronteroc, fulfilling the strange prophecy about her death from earlier in the movie.
