Anthony Mackie is adjusting to a new world order. The actor stars as Sam Wilson in Captain America: Brave New World, the Marvel Studios film that is described as a grounded political thriller that hearkens back to the 2014 feature Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Harrison Ford makes his Marvel debut as General Ross, the role previously played in the MCU by the late William Hurt, who wants to bring Captain America aboard in an official military position after being elected president. Wilson seemingly works to uncover a nefarious global plot – and eagle-eyed fans will spot the brief glimpse of Ford, as the Red Hulk, going head-to-head with Cap.
Mackie has played Sam Wilson since Winter Soldier, which introduced him as the hero The Falcon, an ally of Chris Evans’ Captain America.
Mackie went on to appear in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and multiple Avengers films before toplining the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which chronicled Sam’s journey to becoming Captain America.
The new feature, set for a February 2025 release, hails from The Cloverfield Paradox helmer Julius Onah and has a script from Falcon and the Winter Soldier creator Malcom Spellman and Dalan Musson, who wrote on the show. Moon Knight scribe Matthew Orton is also working on the script, penning pages for reshoots that are adding a new character played by Giancarlo Esposito.
Fellow MCU newcomer Shira Haas is on the call sheet. Danny Ramirez reprises his Falcon and the Winter Soldier of role as Joaquin Torres, who in the comics becomes The Falcon. And Liv Tyler and Tim Blake Nelson, last seen in 2008’s Incredible Hulk, return to the Marvel fold as well.
The trailer comes weeks ahead of Marvel Studios’ next movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as ahead of San Diego Comic-Con, where a look at its upcoming slate is expected.
