New photos and details for CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD that will push Sam Wilson “to the limit”

Marvel Studios has shared a new photo for their upcoming film Captain America: Brave New Worldand offers our best look at Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) wearing his Captain America costume.

The photo was shared on Empire and they also spoke to the director Giulio Onah about the film, who shared more insights into the character and what he’s going through in this story.

Onah explained that it will be the biggest test of Sam Wilson’s life: “It’s really his debut show. It’s about putting it to the test.

The director went on to talk about Wilson’s relationship with the American government, saying, “Part of the challenge for Sam as Captain America, working within the government, is how he’s going to make decisions. The point of view that he will have will sometimes put him at odds with the President.”

He goes on to talk about what Wilson disagrees with Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader: “Sam almost finds himself caught between Samuel Sterns and what he thinks the government owes him, and how he wants to go about getting it.”

The director also addresses the fact that Sam Wilson has no superpowers and how they had fun with that: “The action in this movie is incredibly exciting because this is a guy who can fall apart, this is a guy who can bleed. We’re going to have a lot of fun pushing it to the limit.

I’ve actually already seen some footage of Captain America: Brave New World, and it looked much better than I expected. That footage showed President Ross assigning Sam Wilson to rebuild the Avengers.

This trade came with some tension over who would make decisions for the team: Sam Wilson or President Ross? Then all hell breaks loose when there is an attempt on Ross’ life.

Kevin Feige previously talked about the dynamic between the characters Wilson and Ross, saying, “There’s a dynamic between President Ross and Sam Wilson. They have a history together, but in this film we will see the dynamic between Captain America and the president of the United States in a way that is simply incredible.

Feige also said that he’s trying to capture the same magic we saw in Captain America: The Winter Solider by leaning into the whole political thriller aspect of the story.

The film is also the protagonist Liv Tyler, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, Rosa Salazar, Danny RamirezAND Carl Lumbly.

The film’s screenplay was written by Dalan Musson AND Malcolm Spellmanboth of whom they wrote for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Spellman will produce with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

Captain America: Brave New World arrives February 14, 2025.
