Captain America: Brave New World's post-credits scene teases the multiverse and more

At the end of Captain America: Brave New World, Samuel Sterns aka The Leader is apprehended by authorities and put into the Raft for enacting his revenge and almost causing a war between the United States of America and Japan. Not to mention, turning President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross into a big red Hulking monster and killing a lot of people in the process as well.

Following his arrest and being put into the Raft, he is visited by Sam Wilson who was visiting President Ross in his cell as well. During the post-credits scene, Sam tells Sterns that his revenge against the United States of America and the President caused the deaths of many. However, Sterns - who is also now one of the smartest people in the world - says that he has seen something more dangerous.

He says that he has been calculating and noticing through the years and knows that Sam will go to any lengths to save the world that he is in. However, what will he do when the others come? Teasing a multiversal threat, the film ends here as it gives fans an idea of what's to come next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Given that the next two Avengers movies- Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars - deal heavily with the multiverse and are set to be the culmination of the Multiverse Saga, it is pretty clear that Marvel Studios is finally laying down the seeds for those movies here.

This can also be the reason why Sam Wilson will be rebranding the Avengers going forward as that's a question that the film deals with as well. However, what exact threat Sterns is teasing still remains to be seen.
