Marvel Studios fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the new movie, Captain America: Brave New World, scheduled for 2025. However, exhibitors at CinemaCon were treated to an exclusive sneak peek ahead of the general public. The film, starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Captain America, picks up after the events of the popular Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Described by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige as “a grounded politically thriller,” Captain America: Brave New World promises to delve into complex themes and intense action sequences. Anthony Mackie, who has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a decade, expressed his excitement about headlining his own Marvel movie.
During the exclusive footage shown at CinemaCon, it was revealed that Harrison Ford's character, the President of the United States, enlists Sam Wilson to rebuild the Avengers. However, tensions arise as Wilson questions the President's methods, setting the stage for a gripping conflict within the team. The presence of possessed individuals, including Carl Lumbly's Isaiah Bradley, adds a layer of mystery and suspense to the narrative.
Directed by Julius Onah and written by Malcolm Spellman, Dallan Musson, and Matthew Orton, Captain America: Brave New World brings together a talented team of filmmakers to bring this thrilling story to life. With Spellman's experience as a producer on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, fans can expect a seamless transition from the series to the big screen.
While exhibitors at CinemaCon were treated to an exclusive look at Captain America: Brave New World, fans will have to wait until San Diego Comic Con for a wider release of footage and more details about the upcoming film. As anticipation grows, Marvel enthusiasts can look forward to seeing Anthony Mackie step into the spotlight as the new Captain America in this exciting new chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
