'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.

The White Lotus Star Sam Nivola Has His Say On 'Nepo Baby' Comments
Fabio Lovino/HBO The White Lotus star Sam Nivola has addressed critics who've called him a 'nepo baby' due to his family's ties to the entertainment industry. Earlier this year, Sam caused a major stir in the third season of The White Lotus, in which he played the youngest member of the Ratliff family, Lochlan. As part of Variety's Actors On Actors interview series, the actor recently sat down with Monsters star Cooper Koch, in which he admitted that he's 'constantly' being asked about nepotism in interviews because his mum and dad are also actors, Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola. 'My whole thing was that my parents really didn't want me to be an actor, which I totally get – I don't know if I'd want my kid to be an actor. It's a really mentally tough career to be in,' he explained. 'And even if I had no success, I would want to be doing it. But they really didn't want me to do it.' Sam went on to say that, initially, he wasn't interested in acting himself, until watching films in the Criterion Collection made him fall 'in love with cinema', and in turn, made him want to be an actor. Back in March, Sam's on-screen brother Patrick Schwarzenegger – who has also had to contend with accusations of nepotism due to the fact his parents are action star (and former governor of California) Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver – revealed that his co-star confided in him that he was worried about being hit with questions about his family in interviews. 'I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't even know who Sam was or who his family was until like six months into [filming],' Patrick admitted. 'He was, like, 'Oh, I hope they don't call me a nepo baby'. And I was, like, 'Why?'.'

The trailer hints at a personal journey for Riri, exploring her background and the challenges of being a genius inventor who isn't a billionaire. It also introduces her new AI, N.A.T.A.L.I.E., a nod to her childhood friend from the comics. Ironheartis set to premiere on Disney+ on June 24, 2025, with its first three episodes launching simultaneously.
