Summary Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson leads as the new Captain America in "Brave New World" after inheriting the shield from Steve Rogers.

New photos reveal Sam Wilson meeting with President Thunderbolt Ross and more.

The movie evokes a Captain America: The Winter Soldier vibe with close-quarter combat and a grounded espionage story, signaling a reset for Marvel.

Captain America: Brave New World photos share an exciting look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. After Steve Rogers passed on the Captain America shield to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame, the character fully became the new version of the MCU's Sentinel of Liberty in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Now, Mackie will lead Captain America: Brave New World's cast as the captain himself, and new photos from the upcoming film show a better look at Sam's new Captain America costume.

Entertainment Weekly has debuted new photos of Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford's Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Brave New World.

What The Captain America: Brave New World Images Reveal About The Story

Both the new Captain America: Brave New World footage and images focus on an intriguing aspect of the movie that was never part of Chris Evans' MCU journey as Steve Rogers. That interesting story is how Sam, as Captain America, will be in contact directly with the US President. Ross even tells Sam that he wants him to restart the Avengers, and if the team is under government oversight, it would be against Steve's stance in Captain America: Civil War.

With the Captain America: Brave New World footage from CinemaCon featuring "Lots of close-quarter combat and various action shots," as well as Isaiah Bradley and other characters being used as sleeper agents, the movie seems to be evoking a Captain America: The Winter Soldier feel. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Mackie endorsed that sentiment. The actor said, "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 s---."

Mackie even called what Marvel is doing with the upcoming Captain America movie and new MCU entries a reset for the franchise, saying, "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." The image of Captain America walking through a dark corridor in street clothes evokes that grounded feel. Cap's new suit, which is a darker blue instead of Sam Wilson's classic white suit, is another nod to The Winter Soldier, raising excitement for next year's Captain America: Brave New World.

Captain America: Brave New World Captain America: Brave New World (formerly titled New World Order) marks Sam Wilson's first MCU big-screen appearance as Steve Rogers' successor after receiving the suit and shield in Phase 4's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Anthony Mackie returns as the titular Avenger alongside Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, Carl Lumby as Isaiah Bradley, and Tim Blake Nelson as The Incredible Hulk's former ally Samuel Sterns. Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross.
