Is There a ‘How to Make a Killing’ (2026) End Credits Scene? If You Should Stay or Not After the Movie | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

The film follows Becket Redfellow as he murders seven relatives to claim a $28 billion inheritance, exploring themes of money, conscience, and moral consequence.

  • A24's How to Make a Killing opens with Glen Powell, actor, playing Becket, who murders seven relatives to claim the $28 billion estate in an irrevocable trust.
  • Becket's mother, cast out at 18 after pregnancy, urged him not to settle and told him `the life he deserved`, shaping the family’s past.
  • Jessica Henwick's Ruth advocates serving others and `dreaming small` in the film, which has language and bloody images contributing to its R rating.
  • The ending divides audiences, leaving many dissatisfied as some get revenge-fantasy catharsis while others seeking justice find the film's ending fits the Faustian morality tale motif.
  • Critics note the film frames the story as a critique of wealth, but argue the glib tone and `worship of mammon` limit its effectiveness, according to A24.
