At the end of Captain America: Brave New World, Samuel Sterns is put into the Raft for exacting his revenge against the United States of America by almost causing a war between the country and Japan. Not to mention, he is also responsible for turning President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross into a giant red-hulking monster as well and kills many innocents throughout the film.

When Sam is visiting President Ross, he decides to chat with Samuel Sterns before leaving. Sam starts giving Sterns grief about how many deaths he caused in his pursuit of revenge. However, Sterns doesn't react to it much, and given that he has a huge intellect now, he tells Sam that he knows he will go to any lengths to save his world.

But with him having paid attention to what has been happening in the last few years, Sterns reveals that something dangerous is coming. He then asks Sam what he would do when the others from the other worlds arrive teasing a multiversal threat. With this, fans finally get their first hint at the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Given that both films are set to be the culmination of the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans can certainly expect to see more of these kinds of teases going forward.

At the beginning of Captain America: Brave New World, President Ross asks Sam to help him get the Avengers back together. By the end of the movie, seeing the amount of destruction that has taken place, Sam does agree that he needs to bring the team back together. This effectively also positions Sam as the team's new leader going forward.

So, fans can certainly expect to see Anthony Mackie leading the team in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Given that Doomsday is set to start filming soon, fans can expect to receive more news about the film soon. It will also be released in theatres on May 1, 2026.

Until then fans can check out Captain America: Brave New World as it is playing in theatres.
