Marvel fans are buzzing over the end-credits scene in Captain America: Brave New World, which hints at a looming multiverse convergence. After returning to the Raft, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) meets with villain Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), also known as the Leader. Sterns reveals that he’s seen the probability of an impending event and warns Sam that “all you heroes protecting this world” are not the only ones.
The scene implies a convergence of multiverses, echoing recent MCU explorations in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Loki. Fans have been speculating about this event for years, and Sterns’ ominous warning seems to confirm it’s on its way. However, some fans feel that the scene is underwhelming due to its predictability and lack of connection to the movie.
Other possibilities, such as revealing the president after Thaddeus Ross’ imprisonment or teasing a character’s introduction in Thunderbolts, were left unexplored. Instead, the scene showed a brief trailer for previously announced Avengers movies, further disappointing fans who had hoped for something more meaningful.
The MCU has confirmed multiple Avengers movies in the works, with Captain America: Brave New World leading to Avengers: Doomsday on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. While this convergence is exciting, some fans wish Marvel had woven the end-credits scene more seamlessly into the narrative, leaving room for more speculation and anticipation.
