We received a lot of updates on the new Captain America film, ‘Captain America: Brave New World,’ during CinemaCon 2024 for Disney’s presentation. Kevin Feige introduces Anthony Mackie, who plays Captain America, and he revealed the first look footage from the film.
‘Captain America: Brave New World’ CinemaCon 2024 Footage Description:
The footage shown at CinemaCon shows Sam Wilson (Mackie) meeting Thunderbolt Ross (played by Harrison Ford), who is now the president, at the White House. Ross requests a meeting with Wilson to assist in reuniting the Avengers with the new Captain America taking the lead. While appearing to seek unity, Ross may harbor undisclosed motives. During a gathering where Ross outlines his plan to a crowd with Sam present, a mysterious villain hijacks the speakers and manipulates the minds of secret service agents, resulting in chaos.
The montage showcases various action sequences, including an attack on Sam at the White House where he uses his shield to fend off Secret Service agents attempting to subdue him. Scenes featuring Sam Wilson and Joaquín Torres in action together are also shown. The tension escalates to a confrontation between Sam and Thunderbolt Ross inside the Oval Office, during which Ross remarks, “You’re not Steve Rogers.” After a moment of silence, Sam responds, “You’re right, I’m not.” The footage concludes with Sam donning the new Captain America suit, characterized by a predominantly silver and blue color scheme rather than blue and white.
Anthony Mackie on ‘Captain America: Brave New World’: “A Clear Reset”
Anthony Mackie describes ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ as ‘a clear reset’ (Via EW):
Mackie said, “This movie is a clear reset. It really reestablishes the idea of what this universe is and what this universe is going to be.” Mackie added “I think with these movies, you’re getting a clear, new branding of what Marvel is headed towards the same way they did with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
During the CinemaCon, Feige compares ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ to ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’. He said, “It is a relatively grounded action thriller.” Feige added that the film will be a “grounded action thriller.”
Mackie also told EW, “It made more sense for it to be more of a grounded espionage action movie as opposed to aliens and airplanes coming through portals and s—.” Mackie added, “Even though I’ve been in so many of them and have seen it all now, the opportunity for Sam to really establish himself as a true action star and Avenger comes with this movie.”
According to scooper CanWeGetSomeToast, ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ will address Ford taking over as Thunderbolt Ross with a cheeky line inspired by Iron Man 2:
Sam: “I have to admit, I’m still not used to the new look.”
Ross: “Me either. They said lose the mustache or lose the election.”
Directed by Julius Onah from a screenplay by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson. The film stars Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Danny Ramirez as Joaquín Torres/Falcon, Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns/Leader, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, Shira Haas as Ruth Bat-Seraph/Sabra, and Xosha Roquemore.
Speaking to the RadioTimes Podcast, Mackie confirmed that Sebastian Stan and Daniel Brühl won’t appear in Marvel’s ‘Captain America: Brave New World’.
Anthony Mackie Reacts to Tom Holland’s Past Comments About Falcon’s Stand-alone Film:
Mackie on past Tom Holland comments about Falcon not having a stand-alone film:
“I’m going to make sure Marvel makes him come to the premiere, then I’m going to sit him next to me & I’m going to watch him watch the movie.”
What is ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ About?
The plot details of the film are as follows: In Brave New World, an international conflict over a new metal called Adamantium was discovered on Tiamut, the Celestial of the Eternals, which is now an island. Each country wants a piece of that new metal and claims the island as its own. Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, who is now president, wants to reclaim the island and the Adamantium at all costs, and Sam Wilson’s Captain America gets in his way by trying to stop him by assembling a new group of heroes, including the new Falcon, to oppose him. Captain America will be fighting some other villains who are also trying to get their hands on Adamantium. It is also confirmed that a vibranium war will occur in Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts.
In the film, Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, will sport a new stealth suit resembling Steve Rogers’ from Avengers: Age of Ultron.
We reported that the latest Captain America film received a negative response at an internal test screening. Reshoots are now scheduled for up to six months (January to June 2024), during which three major sequences will be either cut or reworked, resulting in the delay of the film’s release to 2025.
The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Nate Moore, and Malcolm Spellman.
‘Captain America: Brave New World’ will hit theaters on February 14, 2025.
