word of advice ! This article hold SPOILERS for Captain America : Brave New World . Captain America : Brave New Worldhad a surprising post - credits scene , but I ’m convinced that more futureMarvel Cinematic Universeevents could have been tease and jell up in the film . TheMCU ’s 2025 moviesstarted with a divisive motion picture in the cast of Anthony Mackie ’s first picture show as Captain America . While I do n’t recall it ranks above any of the otherCaptain America movies in the MCU , I enjoyedBrave New World . Sam Wilson steadfastly cemented himself as the Modern Captain America andis now looking to restart the Avengers .

The squad ’s future was teased byCaptain America : Brave New World ’s post - credits scene . In it , Sam talks with Tim Blake Nelson ’s Samuel Sterns , aka the Leader , in the Raft . The imprisoned villain tells Sam that there are many universe of discourse out there and Earth ’s heroes are not quick for what is coming when they pop to clash . It is a not - so - elusive tease about the chronicle of the two most anticipated MCU movies in the Multiverse Saga , Avengers : DoomsdayandSecret Wars . While I fairly liked the tantalization , there were other post - credit scene that would have been more meet .

5William Stryker Gets Adamantium

The MCU’s X-Men Reboot Is Near

Captain America : Brave New Worldis a very important movie to the MCU for a variety of grounds . One of the biggest of them is how the filmintroduces Adamantium to the enfranchisement . The alloy firm than Wakanda ’s Vibraniumplayed a central persona in the project , arrive from Tiamut , the dead Celestial in the Indian Ocean last take care in Marvel’sEternals . While I do n’t have a problem with how the motion picture wrapped up that storyline , Brave New World ’s post - credits scene could have beleaguer Adamantium ’s MCU future .

Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine could return to the MCU , but his future in the enfranchisement has been take exception by Captain America : Brave New World .

It is no arcanum that theMCU ’s X - Men movieis in development , with a writer already attached to it and puke rumor starting to emerge . Adamantium is closely connected to Wolverine ’s lore and the Weapon X program in Marvel Comics , and the same could be reliable for the MCU ’s X - Men reboot . That is why I wanted to see the scratch line of that through William Stryker , the drawing card of the Weapon X program . Stryker could be one of those the US sends to Celestial Island to search Adamantium , bringing us one step closer to Marvel Studios ' new Wolverine .

4Sentry Is Revealed Before Thunderbolts*

Setting Up Marvel Studios' Next Movie Of 2025

There will be three MCU movies in 2025 . The next in line afterCaptain America : Brave New WorldisThunderbolts * . The film has the job of introducing a new MCU squad of characters who have appeared in past Marvel movies and TV shows . Thunderbolts * ’s latest trailer finally showed more of Sentry , Marvel ’s Superman , and his role in the moving picture . While the fictional character is still shrouded in secrecy , Sentry ’s dark persona , the Void , seems to be the chief scoundrel the Thunderbolts will fightin the movie .

I would have loved to see a direct connection betweenCaptain America : Brave New Worldand the movie that comes right after it , as previous MCU introduction have done . scout is bound to be one of the franchise ’s most powerful characters . A post - credits setting teasing his power , even if Sentry ’s gilt suit were to be kept a hidden forThunderbolts * , like Marvel seems to want , would have been enough . I conceive an extended look at the Void fiddle with someone before savagely murdering them would have set up the huge terror the novel MCU squad faces inThunderbolts * , put up exhilaration .

3Bucky Barnes Is Elected Congressman

Continuing A Scene From The Captain America Movie

No Captain America movie would be terminated without Sebastian Stan ’s Bucky Barnes . The grapheme has appeared in all the movies of the MCU hero , so it is only right that Stan come back for at least a cameo alongside Anthony Mackie ’s Sam Wilson inBrave New World . I thought the cameo was interesting for two reasons . First , it reward the friendship between the characters , with Bucky consecrate Sam some much - take advice . Second , it offered some connective tissue paper between the Captain America movie andThunderbolts * , as Bucky had to go to campaign outcome in his bid to run for Congress .

Avengers 5 Concept Poster

I think Bucky Barnes could have well returned for a follow - up mo in a post - credits view that showed him being successful in his mission . Thunderboltstrailers have shown thatwhen we next see Sebastian Stan ’s Marvel character , he will already be a representative . As such , Thunderboltswill not show Bucky becoming one . A briefCaptain America : Brave New Worldpost - credit conniption with Bucky learning about his victory and correct up his flight at the starting signal ofThunderbolts*would have been nice to inflate on the character ’s story and permit fan celebrate the moment alongside Bucky .

2Old Steve Rogers Returns

The MCU’s Original Captain America Comes Back Into The Fold

Chris Evans will reportedly seem inAvengers : Doomsday . While his role has yet to be revealed , and the doer denied being in the film — just like Andrew Garfield did about hisSpider - Man : No manner Homeappearance — reports arrogate that he could be return as Steve Rogers . The last time the character was check was in 2019’sAvengers : Endgame . Captain America decide to stay with Peggy Carter in the past . As an honest-to-goodness man , Steve Rogers then returns to the present to give his shield to Sam Wilson and make him the new Captain America .

I really wanted to see Evans ' Steve Rogers present in a Captain America movie again , andBrave New Worldmissed the hazard to do that in a post - credits scene . For all we live , the old Steve Rogers could have stay in the MCU ’s chief timeline after Peggy conk out in his . With Evans reportedly turn back inAvengers : Doomsday , I think theaters would have recrudesce ifSam Wilson went to necessitate Steve for help as he sets out to foregather the MCU ’s young Avengers squad . This would connect Sam ’s ending in the film to Evans ' Avengers movie return .

1Bruce Banner Goes To The Raft To Confront The Leader

The Incredible Hulk Ties Paid Off In A Major Way

The Incredible Hulkwas exceedingly important to the events ofCaptain America : Brave New World . While multiple key players from the film returned in the 2025 MCU entry , Bruce Banner was missing . I guess a post - credits scene could have exchange that , allowing the Captain America motion-picture show to both keep its focus on Sam Wilson while also offer up a gracious surprisal end to the film ’s ties toThe Incredible Hulk . Mark Ruffalo could have eventually been connected to the MCU ’s only Hulk movie in a means , as Edward Norton play Banner in the film .

Bruce help She - Hulk after she was pollute by his gamma - inculcate blood , so I could see him telling Sterns he would make it correct .

After learning about what the Leader did and how Thaddeus Ross maintain him locked off for age , Ruffalo ’s Bruce Banner could pay a visit to them in the Raft . Since Betty Ross had been find out talking with her father , I think Bruce escort Sterns would have made more signified . Bruce helped She - Hulk after she was contaminated by his da Gamma - instill blood , so I could see him telling rear he would make it right . However , now a full - on villain , the Leader could leave another ominous tease like the one inCaptain America : Brave New World ’s actual post - credits scene , perhapsWorld War Hulk - related .
