Lets talk about it.
After the credits, we return to the Raft.
So did he leave and come back?

Why didnt he have this conversation sooner and save himself a trip?
There isnt really a reason for Sam to be there other than, what?
They briefly squabble before Sterns starts to go all Leader on him.
So he tells Sam Its coming.
Well, hes seen the probability of it and its plain as day.
All you heroes protecting this world, do you think youre the only ones?
Do you think this is the only world?
Well see what happens when you have to protect this place from the others.
Because thats what Sterns is talking about here.
In fact, its been happening for so many years that Sam clearly knows there are other worlds.
He has to know there are other heroes.
The problem is, wealso knowits going to happen.
Its right there on the release schedule.Twice.
Suffice to say, a pretty lame end-credits scene.
Two people talking about two movies we already knew were coming.
Were upset it wasnt something else.
Something maybe more connected to the fabric of the movie, perhaps?
There were a lot of possibilities.
For example, who is now the president with Ross in prison?
That couldve been a cool reveal.
We could have seen someone consider the implications of adamantium on a skeleton or to make some claws.
We wouldve loved that.
Sam couldve started to make a list of possible Avengers?
Joaquin couldve discovered something as the Falcon?
Someone couldve considered what to do with the red Hulk?
Heck, Bucky (Sebastian Stan) is in the movie.
At least tease his appearance inThunderboltsfor crying out loud!
Just a super boring trailer for previously announcedAvengersmovies.
Very much in line with the lazy rest of the film.
