Recently, Anthony Mackie and Kevin Feige visited Las Vegas to present the upcoming Marvel Studios movie, Captain America: Brave New World. In this film, Mackie takes on the lead role of Captain America, a progression from his earlier performances in multiple Marvel movies and his own Disney+ series, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Feige highlighted the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier as a grounded action thriller that fans still talk about, with Cap 4 set to follow a similar tradition as evidenced by a new clip shown during the event.
Mackie has been playing Sam Wilson/The Falcon since 2014 and now steps into the shoes of Captain America. He grapples with what it means to be a Black superhero in America while facing a crisis involving former soldier Isiah Bradley who poses a threat to the president. Julius Onah directs this new film that introduces Harrison Ford to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thunderbolt Ross. Danny Ramirez returns as Joaquin Torres, while Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, Carl Lumbly, and Shira Haas join the cast.
The clip showcases Sam Wilson embracing his role as Cap but soon faces a dangerous situation when he meets with President Thunderbolt Ross at the White House. Music triggers Isiah Bradley leading to an intense scene that leaves audiences eager for more. Marvel’s upcoming slate of films has undergone some changes with fewer releases this year and next. Captain America 4 is set for release on February 14th, 2025 followed by Fantastic Four on July 25th, 2025. The event concluded with an enthralling sizzle reel that emphasized Sam’s unique journey as the new Captain America.
Overall, it seems like this new film is set to continue in line with Marvel’s past successes while offering something fresh and exciting for fans to look forward to.
