Captain America: Brave New World

At the end of Captain America: Brave New World, the story sets the stage for a new era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with major consequences for its characters and future films. Thaddeus Ross’ transformation into the Red Hulk during a public incident results in his removal from the presidency and his imprisonment at the Raft, along with Samuel Sterns, the leader behind much of the chaos. Although Ross considers his Red Hulk episodes humiliating, he acknowledges that his actions were necessary, and he is now confined, still dependent on gamma-radiation pills to survive, leaving his ability to control the Hulk form uncertain.

Meanwhile, Samuel Sterns, who had been orchestrating conflicts to settle personal scores and advance his plans, is captured but not fully defeated. In a post-credits scene, he ominously hints at a looming multiversal conflict, suggesting that different worlds and heroes are on a collision course, either facing each other or fighting to survive. This foreshadows larger threats like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, where multiple universes could clash disastrously.

Captain America, now recognized as the primary protector of Earth, begins assembling a new Avengers team, with potential members like She-Hulk, Shang-Chi, Moon Knight, and even multiversal heroes such as Wolverine and the Fantastic Four. He remains cautious about Ross and the government’s plans but understands the need to prepare for new, global threats. Sidewinder, a minor villain involved in the chaos, is imprisoned but hints at eventual escape and future criminal endeavors, possibly tied to the Serpent Society.

Finally, heroes like Isaiah Bradley and Ruth Bat-Seraph are shown to be safe and have begun a period of rest, having cleared their names and been appreciated for their service. In all, the ending firmly establishes that a new, unpredictable conflict is on the horizon, driven by multiversal upheavals and the ongoing struggle between heroism and villainy—setting up exciting developments for the MCU’s future chapters.
