Unfortunately, Novocaine does not contain any post-credit scene. Not just that, this action comedy flick doesn't even have a mid or end-credit scene as it ends on a proper note. The film doesn't follow the norm established by films in the superhero genre that provide a peek into what could happen in the future of the storyline.

The film's makers might have decided to create a self-contained story that doesn't require a scene in the end. There are no hints for a future sequel, which means the makers don't want to do any follow-up.

In an interview with IndieWire, Berk spoke about making the film. He said,

“We’ve wanted to make an action movie for a very long time, but it’s really hard early in your career. No one’s going to give you the 20-plus-million dollars you need to make an action movie for your first feature.”

He further said,

"For some reason, has lost sight of building movies from character out. We’ve put spectacle too high and character too low, and spectacle is increasingly less nutritious and less valuable when you don’t have characters to make you care. The effect over many years of consuming movies that fall into that structure is that people stop thinking movies are good. Hopefully, we can push not only the genre but the theatrical ecosystem in the right direction."

In the same interview, Olsen referenced Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, stating that these films have humor and action but aren't overtly funny. So, they decided to have a protagonist who cannot fight properly.
