Is there a post-credits scene in Captain America: Brave New World? Details explored

Captain America: Brave New World has been one of the most anticipated films of 2025 among the fans of the superhero genre. This Julius Onah project is the fourth entry in the Captain America franchise and the 35th entry in the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The film is produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore under the Marvel Studios banner, and it had its premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre. It was released theatrically on February 14, 2025. Here's the official synopsis:

Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan.

Reportedly, Captain America: Brave New World has a post-credit scene, just like most MCU films, and it lays the groundwork for future Avenger films.

In the post-credit scene of Captain America: Brave New World, Sam Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) pays a visit to Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), who is put inside a prison. The supervillain is staying at the Raft where the meeting takes place. Since he is known as a leader in comic books, he has the ability to foresee events that will happen in the future.

Sterns tells Wilson,

"All you heroes protecting this world. Do you think you’re the only ones? Do you think this is the only world? We’ll see what happens when you have to protect this place…from the others."

This dialogue might hint at the Incursion, which might be a part of the next Avengers film. During the event, Earth-616 is almost getting annihilated by Earth-1610, which is the ultimate universe. Sterns has stated that the other worlds are coming, and it might be a hint at the MCU's future events. One of the upcoming events is the Multiversal War, which will happen in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Chances are that an evil team of Avengers might also exist.

The post-credit sequence only consists of a piece of dialogue that hints at an impending terror that will be unleashed in the near future.

In an interview with Collider, Onah spoke about including characters like The Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World. He said that he had access to all the characters.

"From the very beginning, I got access to those characters. They were all things that were on the table. As we talked, we refined further. What was so great about the collaboration with Marvel for me was, despite whatever was there, there was the opportunity to shape it further. So I really tried to push things in a direction that focused on the characters that could work in this tone of a grounded, paranoid political thriller, which really meant it was a story about heart and intellect."
