MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BRAVE NEW WORLD!!

If you’ve seen Captain America: Brave New World, you know that there’s a post-credit scene that is making the rounds as it certainly gives us a major clue as to what is ahead in the MCU.

So, let’s take a look and dive into a few scenarios about what that scene could mean for all the Marvel fans out there.

LAST CHANCE FOR SPOILERS!!

The Leader Speaks

In a scene very reminiscent of the post-credit from “Batman v Superman,” the Leader talks to Sam Wilson while he’s caged in his jail in the Raft after failing to accomplish his mission.

During their crucial conversation, Leader, who is a statistical genius and can predict the future based on probability, says he’s seen the future and knows the “Others” are coming from other worlds.

A future that Sam won’t be able to handle alone when the time comes. But who are the “Others”?

Let’s look at three possibilities.

1 – Galactus

This is the simplest and easiest answer. We know he’s coming in FF4: First Steps later this year, so this would be a classic post-credit that teases us to a future MCU film.

Galactus brings a whole arsenal with him, devouring worlds, and supported by the Silver Surfer, his own personal herald that searches for worlds he can essentially consume.

This is the most likely answer, since it just makes sense.

2 – DOOM!!

Maybe the Galactus idea is a red herring and what Leader means is the man behind it all, Doom.

We still don’t know when and how we’ll meet Doom (I’m guessing FF4 post-credit), but we do know that he’s most likely the big bad for the next TWO Avengers films.

Doom could also be the one summoning Surfer and Galactus, given hes a scientific genius much like Reed Richards, so maybe he’s behind it all.

This could then lead to all the “other” heroes from other worlds and universes that would all meet in Secret Wars, most likely due to Doom’s design!

Plus Galactus isn’t really a villain, more of just a god-like staple of the Marvel Universe like the sun or the galaxy.

3 – Someone ELSE He’s Controlling

OK, this is a long shot, but bear with me on this one.

In Brave New World, Bucky makes a cameo and we find out he’s running for Congress.

We all know Bucky has been controlled in the past, so how crazy would it be if he rose the ranks and was being controlled by Leader the whole time.

Much like with Ross, Leader could have himself a plant in the White House if this war hero makes it that far up the ranks one day.

Now that would be something and would make the Leader more than just a Brave New World one-hit wonder!
