Watch it Now! CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Post Credits Scene Setting up AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
It's been months since Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released and if you haven't seen it yet, shame on you. Seriously though this post is about the post credits scene from the Cap sequel that sets up next summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron.
In this post credits scene, we are introduced to Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (played by actor Thomas Kretschmann) who is an agent of Hydra (Hail Hydra!). Despite the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Strucker has Loki's scepter from The Avengers in his possession. While the power of the scepter is still a mystery — Many assume the scepter is the Infinity Mind Stone but why would Thanos give away a stone when he wants all of them? — it can be assumed the scepter might be the source which gives Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch their powers.
At Marvel's Comic-Con 2014 booth, they revealed the prop of Loki's scepter and it was hooked up to some kind of device that could be harnessing its power. This is exactly what Hydra did when they possessed the Tesseract and harnessed its power into their weapons in Captain America: The First Avenger.
Lots of theories regarding this post credits scene and no answers until more information is provided by Marvel Studios. Check out the stinger scene below!
