A new image from the upcoming Marvel Studios film Captain America: Brave New World showcases Sam Wilson’s fresh Captain America suit. Anthony Mackie takes the lead as Sam Wilson, stepping into the iconic role previously held by Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. Following his journey in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where Steve passed the shield to him in Avengers: Endgame, Sam grapples with the responsibilities of being the new Sentinel of Liberty.
Updated Costume Look
The latest image from Captain America: Brave New World, featured in Empire Magazine, gives fans a glimpse of Sam Wilson donning his new suit. This version of the costume incorporates more blue on the shirt compared to the red, white, and blue stripes seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Notably, the headpiece worn by Sam in the Disney+ series has been omitted, a decision influenced by Anthony Mackie’s feedback on the cumbersome nature of the headgear, requiring extensive special effects editing.
Director Teases The Leader
Julius Onah, the director of Captain America: Brave New World, hints at significant developments involving Tim Blake Nelson’s character, Samuel Sterns, known as The Leader. Sterns was first introduced in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk and has since been absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Onah suggests that Sam Wilson’s role as Captain America, operating within the government, will present challenges in decision-making.
Conflicts and Challenges
According to Onah, Sam’s perspective as Captain America may clash with the President’s viewpoint, leading to complex decision-making scenarios. Sam finds himself caught between Samuel Sterns’ desires and his methods of attaining them, highlighting the tension and moral dilemmas Sam must confront in his new role.
Release Date
Captain America: Brave New World will premiere in theatres on February 14, 2025, offering fans an exciting continuation of Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America.
