Captain America Brave New World teaser
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to return to the big screen with a bang in 2025 with the highly anticipated film, Captain America: Brave New World. The film, directed by Julius Onah, marks the fourth installment in the Captain America franchise and the first to star Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America. With the first teaser trailer’s release, fans are buzzing with excitement and anticipation for what’s to come.
The teaser trailer showcases Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns/Leader, and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. However, it’s the final glimpse of Red Hulk that’s sure to have fans buzzing about its implications for the film and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The new Captain America takes flight
Anthony Mackie returns as Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, who has now fully embraced the mantle of Captain America, following the events of Avengers: Endgame and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ series. The trailer showcases Sam’s high-flying heroics as he takes on a new mission that seems to involve a government conspiracy and a deadly new threat.
Harrison Ford joins the MCU as the Red Hulk
One of the most exciting additions to the cast is none other than Harrison Ford, who steps into the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, previously portrayed by the late William Hurt. Ford brings his gravitas and star power to the MCU, playing a pivotal role as the newly elected President of the United States. The trailer hints at a tense meeting between Sam and Ross, suggesting a complex relationship between the two characters following the events of Captain America: Civil War.
The trailer also teases the introduction of Red Hulk, a gamma-irradiated monster and the alter-ego of “Thunderbolt” Ross in the Marvel Comics. While it’s unclear if the film will follow the same storyline as the comics, the brief glimpse of Red Hulk in the trailer has fans speculating about his role in the film.
The backstory of Red Hulk and Isaiah Bradley
In the Marvel Comics, the Red Hulk is the result of a government experiment gone wrong, with Ross becoming the Red Hulk after being exposed to gamma radiation. The character is known for his immense strength and rage, making him a formidable foe for Captain America.
Isaiah Bradley, on the other hand, is a veteran of the Korean War who was experimented on by the government, much like Steve Rogers. However, Bradley’s story is a tragic one, as he was subjected to unethical experiments and was eventually imprisoned. His inclusion in the film suggests a deeper exploration of the dark side of the government’s involvement in the creation of super-soldiers.
Events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series set the stage for Captain America: Brave New World. In the series, Sam Wilson grapples with Captain America's legacy and the shield's weight. He eventually decides to take up the mantle, but not without facing opposition from the government and other forces.
The series also introduces the concept of the Flag-Smashers, a group of super-soldiers who believe in a world without borders. Their actions and ideology will likely play a role in the events of Captain America: Brave New World, as the trailer hints at a global incident that Sam must navigate.
The film reunites several characters from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, including Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, the new Falcon, and Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley. Torres, a former Air Force lieutenant, is now taking up the mantle of Falcon, while Bradley, a veteran from the Korean War, brings a new layer of complexity to the story.
Captain America: Brave New World release date
Captain America: Brave New World is shaping up to be a thrilling and thought-provoking addition to the MCU. With its high-stakes action, political intrigue, and a new cast of characters, Captain America: Brave New World looks like an exciting addition to the MCU. The film will explore the challenges Sam Wilson faces as the new Captain America, as well as the complex relationship between him and President Ross.
