The previous Captain America feature’s release date was just about eight years before Brave New World. Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers stood as a symbol of liberty in three solo Captain America adventures and four Avengers epics, with his last appearance in Avengers: Endgame. In his closing moments, he gifted his shield to Anthony Mackie’s Falcon.
Sam Wilson did not immediately assume the role of the leader of heroes. Mackie starred in the limited series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which charted Sam’s path to becoming Captain America. So now with Steve Rogers gone, Brave New World will be the first cinematic experience with the new Captain America. Will he face off against former antagonists such as Baron Zemo or U.S. Agent? Surprisingly, this film will see the return of Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader, whose only MCU attendance was in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. This announcement is doubly unexpected because it will be 16 years between appearances and Leader is normally a Hulk foe.
Liv Tyler will also reprise her role from The Incredible Hulk, whose father will now be depicted by Harrison Ford, after the passing of William Hurt. Talented Nigerian American director, Julius Onah, will be taking the franchise over from the Russo Brothers. Luce showcased his proclivity for tense sequences, which could fit with the tone of other Captain America movies like Civil War and The Winter Soldier. And speaking of Winter Soldier, at the moment there is no word on whether Sebastian Stan will come back as Captain America’s sidekick in Brave New World, although he will be joining a new team, later the same year.
