'Captain America: Brave New World': Is There a Post-Credits Scene?
Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World marks the big-screen jump for Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson taking center stage with the shield. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier laid the foundation for the new film, and the last time we saw the hero he'd uncovered a plot about a super serum, made nice with bestie Bucky Barnes and fought off a group called the Flag Smashers.
Brave New World introduces Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross and sees Sam caught up in a foreign relations debacle while investigating a deeper, more sinister scheme with devastating effects. We know you've seen the trailer and at this point, may have already seen or plan to see the film. Marvel is known to drop scenes after the credits start rolling, and, to answer the question, yes, there is a single post-credits scene in Brave New World, and you must wait until all the credits are over to see it, and you can expect some teases with this vibranium-clad Captain America, too.
If you haven't seen the movie, pause here. Spoilers ahead.

Unlike many Marvel movies, Brave New World has no mid-credit scenes; there's only one post-credits scene, and you have to wait until the absolute end to see it. So, what happens?
After the brainiac villain Samuel Sterns turns himself in to ignite President Ross's inner Red Hulk, we don't see him for the rest of the film. Sam has a short conversation with Sterns in which he confidently tells him he will foil his plot. Then, Sam struts off as armed guards surround Sterns. The scientist is arrested and carted off to a cell in parts unknown while Sam suits up to fight Red Hulk Ross.
In the minute-long post-credits scene, Sam walks up to a cell and says, "Told you you were gonna lose that bet," and we see Sterns sitting inside. They trade barbs, and then Sterns points out that they "share the same world, don't we? This world you would die to save." He ominously warns Sam, "It's coming. I've seen it in the probabilities."
Sterns goes on to say that superheroes who are protecting this world think they're the only ones -- and believe this is the only world. With more menacing snark, he says you'll see what happens when you need to protect everyone from "the others."
One thing to keep in mind here: We are still in the middle of Marvel's Multiverse Saga. That likely won't wrap up until Avengers: Secret Wars hits screens in 2027, so that means more Avengers, more timeline dizziness and more comic book storylines that involve interdimensional and intergalactic beings. Now, I could get into Thunderbolts stuff here because that movie is next in line, but I want to talk about the Avengers.
Sterns' gamma-powered superintelligence allows him to see things with high levels of intuition, statistical probability and knowledge. With Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars in the pipeline, he may be hinting at the future appearance of beings called the Beyonders. I don't know this for sure, but in the comics, they sit on the fringes of the Multiverse outside of its scope.
Like the Eternals, the Beyonders were created by the Celestials, and they have an appetite for destroying things. Think of Thanos' attitude of, "Let me wipe out the whole wack universe," but on a multiverse level. Not only is their story deeply connected to Doctor Doom, but they also have comic book ties to the High Evolutionary, Guardians of the Galaxy and the Fantastic Four's Reed Richards.
If this is the group of "others" Sterns is alluding to (and perhaps the Molecule Men), fans should expect the next set of Marvel's Avengers movies to be a war for the survival of the multiverse -- and all the Avengers.
Captain America: Brave New World is in theaters now, and the credits also let us know that he'll be back.

Scarlett Johansson Wanted Her Name Removed From Marvel Project
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors It's been four years since Scarlett Johansson has starred in a Marvel feature, yet the "Jurassic World: Rebirth" star recently revealed that she asked her name to be taken off the credits of Marvel's most recent film, "Thunderbolts*" Johansson was listed as an executive producer on the film, though according to her, she had no part in making it. She talked briefly about it with David Harbour for Interview Magazine. Read More: Chris Evans Shares Brutally Honest Feelings About 'Avengers: Doomsday' Harbour asked Johansson if she'd seen "Thunderbolts*". When she said she hadn't, Harbour said, "Okay. You are an executive producer on it. Congratulations." Johannson responded, "I asked to have my credit removed because I wasn't involved." "You hated the movie that much?" Harbour joked. Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff in Black Widow Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff in Black Widow Disney Johansson's involvement with Marvel dates back to 2010's "Iron Man 2" when she first appeared as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. She went on to reprise the role in all four of the "Avengers" movies released thus far, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Captain America: Civil War", "Thor: Ragnarok", and finally in her 2021 solo feature "Black Widow". Johansson's time as Black Widow was unique in that it was only after her character was killed off in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" that she got her own feature. In 2021, "Black Widow" served as a prequel, set during the latter half of "Captain America: Civil War". During her interview with Harbour, Johansson talked about ultimately feeling unfulfilled with some of her Marvel work. "Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others," Johansson said. "Like in ['Captain America: The] Winter Soldier' with Chris [Evans], we were really dynamic." "In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you're a device to move it along. And if you're committed to five and a half months of that, it's like, 'Okay. I can't paint my nails, I can't get a haircut.'" "These sound like silly problems, but your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time, and if you're not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes." "Thunderbolts*" is currently in theaters. Fans can next see Johansson in "Jurassic World: Rebirth," which hits theaters July 2.

Jamie Foxx credits daughters for helping him recover from health scare in BET Awards speech
When Jamie Foxx accepted the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards on Monday, the actor, comedian and singer made sure to shout out his family, including his two daughters, whom he credited for helping him recover from a health scare two years ago. The 57-year-old teared up during his emotional and lengthy acceptance speech, referencing his life-threatening medical episode in April 2023 and thanking the important people in his life. "I have to thank my family. I have to thank my sister Deidra [Dixon], who's in the audience right now," Foxx said. "When I went through what I was going through, she shut it down, and she made sure that she took care of her brother. Little Black girl from South Dallas and she does all the hair and makeup on the Marvel films -- that's her." Foxx also spotlighted both of his daughters, starting with Corinne Fox, 31, who is an actor like her father. "My beautiful daughter, Corinne. I cannot say enough about you. You've always taken the backseat to everything. But when you needed to drive it, you drove, and you made sure I was here," the proud father said. "And I ain't going to turn down. And I'm not going to stop crying. I got to stop. At a certain point, I'm going to stop crying, but I ain't going to stop just yet." Foxx then turned to younger daughter Anelise, 16, who enjoys playing the piano and guitar, as he revealed previously . "When I was fighting for my life in there, I got to say this. They said that 'we're going to lose him because his vitals is bad.' And I didn't want my 14-year-old to see me like that," Foxx said. "But Anelise overheard the conversation and she snuck into my hospital room with her guitar and said, 'I know what my daddy needs.' And then she played the guitar -- my vitals dropped and I realized God was in that guitar, and the nurses ran in and said, 'What did they give him?' And my daughter says, "Shh, I got him.'" Foxx's family initially released few details about his mysterious condition back in 2023. In a Netflix special released in December 2024, Foxx opened up about what his medical team had told his family and revealed they informed his younger sister that he'd had a brain bleed that led to a stroke. "I got to be honest. When I saw the [in memoriam], I was like, man, that could have been me," Foxx said in his acceptance speech Monday. He added, "I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance I'm not going to turn down."

New Ironheart Trailer: To Protect People, Wakanda Forever's Riri Williams Must Think ‘Outside the Box'
Tech genius Riri Williams takes advice from her late stepfather and breaks herself down in order to see what she is made of, in a new trailer for Marvel Television's Ironheart, below. Premiering on Disney+ Tuesday, June 24 at 9/8c (with its first three episodes), Ironheart is set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and 'pits technology against magic when Dominique Thorne's Riri — determined to make her mark on the world — returns to her hometown of Chicago. More from TVLine Apple Promo Teases New Invasion, Morning Show and Foundation Seasons - For All Mankind, Monarch Still MIA SuperKitties, Little Mermaid and Others Renewed by Disney - Sam Witch Gets Series Order What to Watch This Week: 40+ Premieres, Finales and More Riri's 'unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka 'The Hood' (played by Anthony Ramos),' the synopsis tells us. The series also stars Lyric Ross (This Is Us) as Riri's best friend Natalie Washington, Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) as friend 'Joe McGillicuddy,' Manny Montana (Graceland) as Cousin John, Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington, Anji White as Riri's mother Ronnie, and Regan Aliyah (reportedly as Zelma Stanton). 'Ironheart is such a great character in publishing,' says executive producer and Black Panther director/co-writer Ryan Coogler. 'In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy. In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship — she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.' Chinaka Hodge served as head writer on the Marvel series, with episodes directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes. Executive producers include Hodge, Coogler, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. Want scoop on , or for any other Marvel TV show?
