Though there’s quite a bit of work left to do on Captain America: Brave New World, Marvel Studios used CinemaCon to show off the first footage from the film and, following that, released the fkrdt official images from the sequel through EW.
As part of a post-CinemaCon exclusive, EW unveiled a look at Harrison Ford‘s President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and Sam Wilson’s updated Captain America suit.
As expected, Captain America: Brave New World will give Anthony Mackie’s newly-minted Cap a chance to establish himself before taking on any Multiversal threats. “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 shit,” said Mackie.
However, according to Mackie, Brave New World plays an integral part in the Multiverse Saga, similarly to the role played by The Winter Soldier in the Infinity Saga. “This movie is a clear reset. It really reestablishes the idea of what this universe is and what this universe is going to be,” said Mackie. “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.”
Should Brave New World deliver on a level anywhere near the 2014 Cap sequel, it would be a welcome boost for Marvel Studios following a string of disappointments. With under a year to go until its February 14, 2025 release, Brave New World reportedly has a significant amount of filming left to do but it’s clear Mackie and the folks at Marvel are confident it will come together and remind fans why they enjoyed the MCU in the first place.
