Marvel recently dropped a teaser for Fantastic Four: First Steps which has garnered significant attention from fans. However, an even bigger release is on the horizon, with MCU’s new superhero Anthony Mackie preparing for the debut of Captain America: A Brave New World. In an exclusive interaction with Mashable India, the actor discussed how his character stands apart from Steve Rogers’ iconic portrayal.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Anthony Mackie stated, “It’s going to be exciting for audiences to see Sam Wilson as Captain America for the first time.” Although this isn’t Mackie’s first time donning the Captain America mantle—he was previously seen in the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier—his character will now step fully into the role. Mackie further elaborated on the film’s storyline, saying, “I do love that this is a more traditional Captain America storyline with so many different and new characters.”
The film will not only showcase Sam Wilson as Captain America but also introduce Joaquín Torres as the new Falcon and Harrison Ford as Red Hulk. The stakes are high, and fans are eager to learn how these new dynamics will shape the story.
When discussing the differences between Steve Rogers and his character, Mackie revealed, “Sam differs from Steve in the way that Steve was a superhero. Steve had a body that couldn’t break and a system that couldn’t break down, but Sam is just a regular guy trying to save the day.” This sentiment highlights the unique challenges Sam faces, emphasizing a more relatable superhero experience.
Additionally, the trailer hints at the distinct path Sam Wilson will take compared to Steve Rogers. Mackie remarked, “He can’t just punch his way through every problem. He really has to use his background in psychology and knowing people to talk his way out of problems and situations.” This approach signifies a more thoughtful and strategic hero, one that relies on intellect and emotional intelligence rather than sheer strength.
Fans are buzzing with excitement over the inclusion of Red Hulk and its potential implications for the new phase of Marvel films. Captain America: Brave New World is all set to hit theaters on February 14, 2025, promising to deliver a refreshing take on heroism that resonates with audiences, especially in the character’s evolution from sidekick to leader.
