New Rumor Claims to Reveal Scrapped CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Post-Credits Scene

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a unique place in their timeline. The studio is picking up the pieces of a scattered and less than fan-favorite era, and they are moving into what is hopefully a more focused and great story-based phase.

They’ve done it before, and will hopefully wow us again in the upcoming films, which will culminate in another Russo Brothers-led Avengers double adventure. First up, we have Captain America: Brave New World.

We’ve seen some cool trailers and footage from the movie, but it’s sure to pack some surprises. If you’re interested in a spoiler or two, read ahead. If not, this is your chance to stop reading.

This is also a rumor, so take it as such. According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, who weighed in on the results of the film’s reported reshoots:

"In the original version of Captain America: Brave New World the world thinks Ross is dead and in the original post credits scene Red Hulk was visiting Betty in her house. But that is no longer the case in the film's final version."

Here's where we get into spoiler territory; according to a recent plot leak (via CB), Captain America: Brave New World ends with President Ross and The Leader locked up in The Raft.

While we expect the latter to be responsible for Ross' transformation into Red Hulk, it may be a more fitting ending for the President to pay for his actions rather than being free to continue Hulking out. 

It's also a more definitive conclusion for the character if Harrison Ford decides not to reprise his role in a future MCU project (though the leak also pointed to the new mid-credits scene setting the stage for a World War Hulk movie).

Recently, the MCU's Captain America, Anthony Mackie, weighed in on the chatter surrounding Brave New World's reshoots. "It wasn’t retooled at all, every Marvel movie I’ve done has done reshoots, so it’s not retooling or remaking," the actor explained.

"You basically get the movie and the story you want, you edit it together, then go back and shoot a few more scenes." This sounds about right.

In Captain America: Brave New World, after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam Wilson finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. The movie is directed by Julius Onah.

Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.
