The potential finale for Captain America 4 originally included a hint towards the Illuminati.
Sure, here's a rewritten version of the article:
Gee, the post-credits scene in Captain America: Brave New World sure is intriguing, ain't it? If you're in the dark about what's happening, this article might just spoil it all for you.
At the end of the movie, Sam Wilson pays a visit to the captured Samuel Sterns in the bowels of the Raft. Sterns' cryptic warning to Sam about attacks from other worlds and "the others" leaves us guessing. This seems to refer to the multiverse madness brewing in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars that everyone but Doctor Strange and Monica Rambeau seems oblivious to. But it's possible that "the others" were initially meant to be the Illuminati, the group of supergeniuses introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In a recent interview, director Julius Onah hinted at the original plan for the Illuminati's appearance in Brave New World. According to TheWrap, the Illuminati were part of an earlier draft of the script but were cut during reshoots. Onah refused to reveal the specific members of this Illuminati team, revealing only that Sterns' ominous words were deliberately left vague to preserve future plot possibilities.
The decision to exclude the Illuminati from the final cut likely stemmed from evolving narrative and production changes. The post-credits scene, shot during additional photography, focused on The Leader and Sam Wilson, hinting at broader multiverse threats without explicitly mentioning the Illuminati. This choice aligns with the film's aim to set the stage for the Multiverse Saga while leaving room for future story developments.
During reshoots, the focus shifted to ensuring a grounded tone and setting up other plot elements, such as the introduction of Giancarlo Esposito's character, Sidewinder, who played a part in the Serpent Society storyline. The absence of the Illuminati in the final cut suggests that Marvel may be saving their introduction for a more significant moment in future films, possibly within the context of Avengers: Secret Wars or other multiverse-centric projects.
So there you have it, folks. The post-credits scene of Captain America: Brave New World leaves us wondering what's to come. And who knows? Maybe the Illuminati will make their appearance in the future. Stay tuned for more Marvel news!
