Captain America: Brave New World Post-Credits Scene Count Revealed by Rumor
A new rumor reveals the post-credits scene count for Captain America 4, with speculation about what might be in store.
With the release of Captain America: Brave New World just around the corner, Marvel fans are gearing up for another exciting chapter in the MCU. The film marks Anthony Mackie's debut as the titular hero after taking on the mantle from Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame. As the release date approaches, fans are eager to find out how this installment will impact the larger MCU and, of course, how many post-credits scenes they can expect.
One Post-Credit Scene Confirmed?
According to a recent rumor from the notable scooper Cryptic HD Quality, Captain America: Brave New World will feature just one post-credits scene. This is a shift from the typical multiple post-credits scenes that are a staple of most MCU films. Cryptic HD Quality also revealed the film’s runtime to be 1 hour and 58 minutes, or 1 hour and 50 minutes without credits, which aligns with the length of other recent Marvel Studios films like The Marvels and Deadpool 3—both of which also included a single post-credits scene.
While fans are used to sticking around for multiple teasers, this single post-credits scene might be a more focused setup for what's to come in the MCU.
What Will the Post-Credits Scene Set Up?
Naturally, speculation is running high about what this single post-credits scene might tease. With Thunderbolts next on the MCU’s release calendar, many believe that the Captain America: Brave New World post-credits scene will set up this film. Thunderbolts is expected to feature some key characters from Captain America 4, including Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (played by Harrison Ford), and it would make sense for the post-credits scene to lay the groundwork for this upcoming film.
Given that both Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts are expected to be relatively grounded compared to other MCU entries, it's not out of the question for characters from one movie to transition into the other.
There’s also chatter that Marvel Studios may be building toward a World War Hulk movie. With both Red Hulk and The Leader (a villain teased in The Incredible Hulk) appearing in Captain America: Brave New World, some fans are wondering if the post-credits scene could set up a Hulk-centric storyline. While this idea may be a bit far-fetched, it’s worth noting that She-Hulk hinted at World War Hulk-related content, so it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if the post-credits scene teases this future MCU project.
Alternatively, the post-credits scene could take a more humorous route, similar to the Captain America PSA in Spider-Man: Homecoming, providing a fun, light-hearted moment for fans.
Conclusion
As Captain America: Brave New World prepares for its February 14, 2025, release, the post-credits scene will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated moments. Whether it’s setting up Thunderbolts, hinting at a World War Hulk story, or delivering a quirky gag, fans will have to wait and see what Marvel Studios has in store. Whatever the case may be, it’s safe to say that fans will be sticking around after the credits roll to uncover the next chapter in the MCU.
