Courageous New World’ Finish-Credit Scene Could Have Revealed Extra Than You Assume
Captain America: Brave New World might have opened to mixed reviews, but it surely looks like audiences need extra grounded superhero ventures. No less than, a smart mixture of actuality may steadiness out the cosmic, multiversal misadventures. Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, the brand new and official Captain America, the movie follows a mysterious insurgence infiltrating the early days of President Ross’ administration. Harrison Ford fills Ross’ footwear after the late William Harm, who debuted within the function in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk and performed him all through the MCU’s Infinity Saga.
Regardless of his ground-shaking transformation into the livid Purple Hulk, Courageous New World largely retains its promise of Earthbound realism. That’s till the end-credits scene, which reminds us that the MCU is an interconnected internet, foreshadowing the way forward for the Multiverse Saga that may culminate in Avengers: Secret Wars. Whereas the transient scene doubtless appeared like a mere teaser, it could have revealed extra in regards to the upcoming plot than you realized.
The Chief Makes a Grave Prediction in ‘Captain America: Courageous New World’
On the finish of Captain America: Courageous New World, Ross has resigned from the presidency and complied with imprisonment on The Raft. Meant to deal with even essentially the most highly effective meta-humans, The Raft floats in a distant deep-sea location. Sam Wilson visits Ross, bringing alongside an amend-making visitor: Ross’ daughter, Betty (Liv Tyler). Nonetheless, after the credits, we see that Sam makes yet one more cease earlier than departing.
Sam approaches the cell of Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), aka The Leader, who has additionally been imprisoned on The Raft. Within the transient change, The Chief makes a slightly grim and definitive prediction. He is a grasp of calculations, statistical evaluation, and manipulation. He warns Sam of a conflict with “others,” an impending battle with different worlds that is on the best way. With the MCU’s upcoming slate, it is secure to imagine that he is referring to the multiverse and the approaching incursions that result in Avengers: Secret Wars‘ central battle. As defined in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity, an incursion is when the separation between two or extra universes crumbles and causes a catastrophic collision.
The Chief Could Have Purposefully Been Imprisoned on The Raft
When Wilson meets with him, he might appear to be he is been utterly defeated — a mere prisoner on essentially the most safe meta-human detainment facility on Earth — however Sterns doubtless has extra up his sleeve. The Chief might have wished Sam to assume he allowed himself to be captured to finalize his plot to unleash President Ross’ Red Hulk. What if The Chief particularly wished to be taken to The Raft?

This man has been stirring for years, ever since The Incredible Hulk, the place a wound on his brow was contaminated with the blood of Bruce Banner (Edward Norton). Contained, manipulated, and his situation exacerbated by Ross, Sterns morphed into The Chief, whose instinct and mind might go vastly past expectations. Within the MCU, The Raft has been in a position to comprise Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). The Chief, conscious of its resilience and functionality, may view The Raft not as a jail, however as a refuge, and the lore of Marvel Comics helps this concept.
The Raft Might Be the MCU’s Model of the Life Rafts From Marvel Comics
In Marvel Comics’ Secret Wars run, a vessel much like The Raft exists — the Life Raft. It was constructed by the Future Basis (previously The Unbelievable 4) on Earth-616. Conscious of the menace forward, Valeria Richards (Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s daughter) initially considered the concept in Avengers (2012) #42. Reed introduced this to T’Challa/Black Panther, who mapped out a design and turned the concept into actuality. The Cabal, an enemy group on Earth-1610, stole the Future Basis’s design, and The Maker (their variant of Reed Richards) constructed a near-identical Life Raft. After we attain the occasions of Secret Wars (2015) #0, we study each variations of the Life Raft are last-ditch efforts to resist the destruction of the incursions that promised to destroy the multiverse.
For the reason that MCU’s model of Earth-616 does not but have a Unbelievable 4, not to mention a Future Basis, they could possibly be setting the stage for The Raft to function the franchise’s Life Raft. We do not understand how The Fantastic Four: First Steps will conclude, leaving that quartet’s switch to the principle timeline and the unfolding events of Avengers: Doomsday a thriller. Nonetheless, loosely adapting Marvel Comics’ supply materials has change into a practice for the MCU, so these clues previous Secret Wars aren’t too far-fetched. The Life Rafts finally meet at Battleworld, the place a whole pantheon of heroes and villains conflict. Do not be shocked if The Chief seems once more, after cleverly saving himself a spot on the saving grace vessel.
Captain America: Courageous New World is now enjoying in theaters.
