The finale of Captain America 4 initially included a hint towards the Illuminati organization
In the final scene of Captain America: Brave New World, Sam Wilson pays a visit to Samuel Sterns in the lower levels of the Raft. During their conversation, Sterns warns Wilson about attacks from other worlds and "the others". This cryptic message has sparked speculation among fans about the potential appearance of the Illuminati in the MCU.
The Illuminati, a group of supergeniuses, were originally intended to be included in the film but were cut during reshoots. If they were to appear, they could potentially have crossed paths with Captain America, given their clash in the lead-up to the multiverse-focused Secret Wars event in 2015, where Steve Rogers was a member of the Illuminati in the comics.
The inclusion of the Illuminati in Brave New World could feel unexpected, similar to the unexpected declaration by Samuel Sterns about what's coming next. The group, in the comics, was a group of heroes from various worlds, unlike the MCU version, all coming from Earth-838.
The goal was to include a warning at a time when no one was writing due to strikes. However, the film's intent behind the warning shifted, but it was always meant to be included due to Marvel having a clearer picture of where things were going.
Director Julius Onah noted that Sterns' words in the post-credit scene are purposely left vague for a reason. The mention of the Illuminati does not confirm their appearance in Brave New World, but it does signal deeper MCU multiverse developments.
The Illuminati, if they were to appear, had plans to build a weapon that could save their Earth at the cost of other universes. This aligns with the multiversal business hinted at in post-credit scenes and fan analyses linking the film to the Illuminati group known from Marvel Comics. The "others" are likely to be connected to these multiversal business, as seen in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
In conclusion, while the Illuminati's appearance in Captain America: Brave New World is not confirmed, the hints and clues left by the post-credit scene have fans eagerly anticipating their potential role in the MCU's multiverse developments.
