It’s one of the most heartfelt Marvel movies to date and while it has a touch of comedy, it’s also dramatic, especially for the titular character as he embarks on a new journey. In the end credits scene of Thor: Love and Thunderwe see Jane enter the Asgardian afterlife, Valhalla, and it raises the question of whether Captain America could do the same once past.

The end credits Thor: Love and Thunder apparently made differences with the rulers of the Asgardian afterlife, Valhalla, after Jane entered the realm following her death in the film’s final minutes. There, Jane met Heimdall at the gates of the afterlife.
Before, only Asgardians could enter the afterlife, Valhalla, but as Jane wielded the Mjolnir and became the Mighty Thor, after her death she ascended to Valhalla and encountered Heimdall, an Asgardian hero there. With this scene, it suggests that even mortals can enter the Asgardian afterlife.
This brings Captain America into the equation. Steve Rogers wielded the same Mjolnir that Jane used in Thor: Love and Thunder and she died as a goddess, dissolving into golden dust, before she reached Valhalla.
There are two possibilities, Cap may or may not be able to enter Valhalla.
Captain America can enter Valhalla much like Jane because he wielded the Mjolnir and probably died a hero too. Cap was able to summon Thor’s powers and use them in his final battle against Thanos by End of Game.

However, it’s also possible that wielding the Mjolnir isn’t enough for Cap to enter Valhalla. For starters, when he used the Mjolnir, he didn’t transform into Thor, just like Jane, so he didn’t achieve the same godlike stature as Jane.
Then there’s this consideration that those who enter Valhalla have died the death of a valiant warrior, much like the Valkyrie King who thought of it in the movie. Jane died fighting Gorr and Cap, well, it’s not shown how he died or if he’s already dead, and it may not be a brave warrior’s death at all.
