In the post-credits scene of “Captain America: Brave New World,” Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, visits the Raft and engages in a tense conversation with The Leader, played by Tim Blake Nelson. This scene is pivotal as it directly ties into the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” storylines. The Leader ominously warns Sam about impending multiversal threats, setting the stage for future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) events. His cryptic message suggests that the heroes of the current universe may not be the only ones and that they will soon face challenges from other dimensions. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the MCU, hinting at a broader multiverse and the potential for new adversaries.
The dialogue between Sam and The Leader is particularly intriguing. Sam remarks, “I told you we were going to lose that bet,” indicating a prior conversation or wager between the two characters. The Leader’s response, “You wanna know what’s funny? I’m not in the mood for your jokes. We share the same world—don’t be so sure it’s the one you would die to save,” underscores the gravity of the situation. The Leader’s warning that “It’s coming” and his reference to seeing the probabilities “as plain as day” suggest that the multiversal threat is not just a possibility but an inevitability. His question, “Do you think you’re the only ones? Do you think this is the only world?” challenges Sam’s understanding of the universe and his role as Captain America.
