Brave New World has only one post-credit scene, but it proves a self-referential Marvel movie joke right 8 years later.

But this means that Captain America: Brave New World is the first-ever MCU movie not to open with the now-iconic Marvel Studios logo and fanfare that mirrors the flipping of comic-book pages.

Instead, audiences are treated to a no-nonsense black-and-white logo that really sets the tone for what's to come. Gone is the loud fanfare and, in its place, a back-to-basics approach that runs throughout the rest of the Julius Onah-directed movie's two-hour runtime.

This timeline tells us that Thunderbolts* will happen either soon after the events in Brave New World or a little later down the road. Whatever the case, Congressman James Buchanan Barnes will be elected to office before he and the Thunderbolts become the New Avengers.

The end of the latest Marvel superhero blockbuster hints at a massive new war for the survival of the multiverse.
