In Captain America: Courageous New World‘s sole post-credits scene, Sam Wilson visits The Chief in The Raft and receives a obscure warning a few Multiversal menace and the “others” coming to Earth-616.
Even mainstream media shops have deemed it Marvel Studios’ worst post-credits scene. In the meantime, the response from followers has been blended to destructive at greatest (a disgrace seeing as an Avengers: Doomsday tease ought to have blown everybody’s minds).
Speaking to Collider, Captain America: Courageous New World director Julius Onah defined that it was all the time the plan to forego a mid-credits scene in desire of a single Cap-centric closing tease.
“It was all the time the case that what felt natural for this film was simply leaning right into a post-credits sequence that would tease what’s coming subsequent,” the filmmaker stated. “We wished to tease it in a method that did not change into too express. That is about introducing Sam as our new Captain America.”
“That was the overarching focus of this film, so to start out throwing in too many post-credit sequences simply felt prefer it was going to stray away from that. Even the tease we now have continues to be very Sam-centric,” Onah added.
In case it wasn’t apparent from The Chief’s redesign within the sequence, Onah confirmed it was filmed throughout Captain America: Courageous New World‘s reshoots. These occurred final 12 months and probably earlier than the choice was made to solid Robert Downey Jr. as Physician Doom…explaining why The Chief may have been speaking about anybody or something.
“That was shot throughout our extra images,” Onah shared. “That is what I imply about all that is deliberate forward of time. We did not know what our post-credit scene was going to be simply but. As , there was an enormous writers’ strike, in order that meant it was pencils down not simply on this film, however pencils down on every little thing in movie and TV. Nothing was taking place.”
“So, who knew what Thunderbolts was going to appear like essentially? Or the following Avengers was going to appear like?” he continued. “So once we acquired out of that strike, and we have been truly in a position to put pen to paper for Courageous New World, and everyone else was in a position to put pen to paper for his or her motion pictures.”
“That is when you possibly can truly begin to have an actual dialog as to the place issues are going and what post-credits sequence is the suitable one to tease. So, that is the way it advanced.”
It’s onerous to consider Marvel Studios could not provide you with one thing higher than this for Captain America: Courageous New World. Then once more, with no accomplished script for Avengers: Doomsday, that may have been simpler stated than carried out…a Thunderbolts* tease might need in the end been for the very best.
