Captain America: Brave New World | Opening Scene

Captain America: Brave New World is the fourth Captain America movie as part of the MCU, but the first led by Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. Mackie's character previously debuted in the second Cap movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and went on to become good friends with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Sam was given the shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, and properly took on the mantle by the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV show. When Captain America: Brave New World releases on Friday, February 14, 2025, it will be Sam Wilson's first solo movie in the MCU.

Captain America: Brave New World cast includes some returning Marvel characters - one played by a new actor. Following the passing of William Hurt in 2022, Harrison Ford takes on the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who will be President of the U.S. in Brave New World. Based on the official teaser trailer, Ross will turn into Red Hulk at some point in the film. The teaser doesn't give too many story beats away, but the film looks to carry much of the same tone as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Captain America: Civil War.
