by

In the upcoming movie “Captain America: Brave New World,” we find Captain America taking over the franchise, but it’s more than just a continuation – its title hints at a groundbreaking shift within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This film marks a significant milestone for MCU fans as it is our first major update on the primary storyline since “Avengers: Endgame.” Additionally, it serves as another crucial link between the films and the Disney+ TV series in the MCU. Shows such as “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” have paved the way for this new chapter in the Captain America saga.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to share the lowdown on everything that unfolds by the finale of “Captain America: Brave New World.” Here’s a spoiler-filled rundown of the plot twists and post-credits scene insights:

In the final act, Captain America confronts his longtime adversary, the Red Skull, who has been manipulating events from behind the scenes. After an intense battle, Cap manages to defeat him, but not without cost – sacrificing himself to save the world from a catastrophic event.

However, Steve Rogers’ sacrifice doesn’t mean the end of the line for Captain America. Sam Wilson, a trusted ally and friend, takes up the shield and becomes the new Captain America. The film ends with him leading the Avengers into a new era, ready to protect the world from threats both old and new.

But wait! Don’t turn off your screen just yet! During the post-credits scene, we catch a glimpse of the Red Skull’s resurrected body being taken by an unknown entity, hinting at a possible return in future installments. Stay tuned for more adventures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Captain America: Brave New World Ending Explained

In “Captain America: Brave New World,” Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, along with Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez), find themselves in a desperate struggle against time as they strive to exonerate Isaiah Bradley, an old super-soldier, who attempted to assassinate President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. This investigation eventually uncovers a shocking secret: for years, Ross had imprisoned scientist Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), enhancing his gamma-infused intellect and utilizing him as a single-purpose, intellectual powerhouse, aimed at helping Ross ascend to the Presidency.

Instead of focusing on geopolitical machinations, Ross had a more urgent matter: utilizing Sterns’ intellect to find a cure for his fatal heart condition. Sterns succeeds in this endeavor but deceives Ross as well. The same gamma-enhanced pills that supposedly healed Ross gradually transformed him over time, causing the emergence of a Red Hulk persona and abilities. After winning the presidency, yet failing to free Sterns, the cunning scientist decides to act independently. He manipulates global events to undermine Ross’s Adamantium agreement with other countries and eventually transforms him into a gamma-infused monster, much like how he had been transformed by Ross earlier.

In the climactic scene of “Brave New World”, Stern secretly records Ross plotting with him at a significant press gathering to unveil a peace agreement. This sets off Ross, who transforms into the enraged Red Hulk in public, leading to a fierce confrontation with Captain America that ends in a stalemate. Sam manages to persuade Ross to deescalate (for the wellbeing of his daughter Betty and the country), which he does. Following this, Sam and gravely injured Joaquin opt to reestablish the Avengers independent from government influence; Ross steps down as president and serves time in The Raft penitentiary, where he eventually meets up with Betty (Liv Tyler, making her first MCU appearance since “The Incredible Hulk”). The powerful metal Adamantium gets distributed among the world’s nations, paving the way for an unpredictable future and a fresh arms race with Vibranium.

In “Captain America: Brave New World,” there isn’t any mid-movie scene, but the ending credits scene functions as a concluding moment tying up “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.

After the end-credits roll, Sam Wilson pays a visit to the high-security location where Samuel Sterns is confined. Sam boasts that he had calculated the chances of Captain America surviving a battle against Red Hulk, but Sterns refuses to let him have the final say. In a foreboding manner, Sterns shares his findings about intricate probabilities and possibilities, which led him to discover the concept of the multiverse. He hints at an impending conflict known as the ‘secret war’ that will see various realities of the Marvel Multiverse clashing with each other. Sterns ponders over what Captain America, a champion who protects our world, would do when safeguarding his world means eliminating others.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the pivotal monologue delivered by The Leader in the latest flick, “Avengers: Doomsday.” This captivating dialogue sets the stage for an intriguing narrative that promises to delve into the enigmatic character of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. We’ll explore his native realm, learn about his extraordinary survival tactics amidst multiversal incursions, and perhaps even witness him ascending as a divine emperor, constructing his dominion from shards of alternate realities (or the MCU’s “Void” realm, according to speculations).

But that’s not all! The tantalizing post-credits scene leaves us with a cliffhanger, hinting at the epic showdown in “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Here, we’ll witness a struggle for existence among various Marvel Universes (and franchises) as they fight tooth and nail to secure their survival. Get ready, fellow film fans, because this is shaping up to be an unforgettable cinematic event!

Captain America: Brave New World is now in theaters.
