The Marvel movie, which is the fourth film in the Captain America franchise, follows Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as he embraces his new role as Captain America. The movie’s prequel show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, focused on Wilson figuring out how to become Captain America after the original superhero Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) died in Avengers: Endgame.
The film also followed the new Falcon, Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) and Wilson’s friend Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly). After Wilson meets with the new president, Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford), he’s tasked with reforming the Avengers team while also combating a political conspiracy after a terrorist attack. Of course, he’s met with several challenges — including villains Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) and Sidewinder (Giancarlo Esposito).

In Captain America: Brave New World, Wilson takes on his first major mission as Captain America to reform the Avengers. However, just as he’s given his first task from President Ross, a mysterious terrorist attack almost kills the president.
After Bradley is framed for the assassination attempt, Wilson and the new Falcon, Torres, must dive into a political conspiracy possibly involving Ross.
As the film unfolds, Wilson finds out that Sterns, the movie’s villain, has been the mastermind behind the entire plot and has been poisoning Ross with gamma rays via pills for years. Sterns wanted to ruin Ross’ reputation, so he poisoned him with the intention of turning him into the monster the Red Hulk.
During a press conference, Ross loses control of his emotions and fully transforms into the Red Hulk. He destroys part of the White House and is about to embark on a national rampage until Wilson calms him down by reminding him of his daughter. The memories trigger Ross to revert to himself, but he still steps down from the presidency and is later incarcerated at a remote prison called The Raft.
The final scene shows Wilson visiting Ross to let him know that the world is at peace and that he’ll continue trying to rebuild the Avengers.

True to all Marvel movies, Captain America: Brave New World included a brief scene after the credits rolled that teased the plot of a subsequent film.
The post-credit scene showed Wilson visiting Sterns on The Raft, where he warns Wilson that he will have to face him and other villains again.
“We share the same world, don’t we? This world you would die to save? It’s coming,” Sterns tells Wilson. “I’ve seen it in the probabilities. Seen it plain as day. All you heroes protecting this world, you think you’re the only ones. You think this is the only world. We’ll see what happens when you have to protect this place … from The Others.”
It’s unclear what Sterns was specifically referring to, but he may have been setting up the premise for the future Avengers movies.
