Marvel Studios has left fans buzzing after an exciting presentation at CinemaCon 2024. The studio unveiled exclusive scenes from their upcoming big-budget movie, Captain America Brave New World.
High Expectations for Captain America
Beyond the exciting scenes involving Deadpool and Wolverine, the presentation took an exciting turn when Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, introduced CinemaCon attendees to Anthony Mackie. Mackie will take on the role of Captain America in the new film, directed by Julius Onah. The movie’s first visuals suggest an earthy quality, marking it as a grounded addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Harrison Ford’s New Role
Another highlight from the revealed footage was the appearance of Harrison Ford’s character, Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, the President. The character encourages Mackie’s Captain America to step up, rebuild the Avengers, and forge ahead into a brave new world. The appreciative tone and expression of past gratitude by Ross set an anticipatory atmosphere for the coming film.
Unexpected Developments
The plot quickly turns on its head when Isaiah Bradley, played by Carl Lumbly, makes a bold move. Bradley goes against the grain, attempting to assassinate Ross during an event in honor of Captain America. This shocking occurrence leads to a chaotic chain of events, with Bradley on his rogue mission.
The movie clip ends dramatically, featuring Sam Wilson, enacted by Anthony Mackie, in his new Captain America attire. A drone appears on his back, giving Marvel fans a thrill reminiscent of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier mini-series conclusion.
Captain America Brave New World Cast
Following the transition from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) to Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Carl Lumbly and Danny Ramirez return to their roles from the Disney+ mini-series. Replacing the late William Hurt, Harrison Ford gears up to play President Thaddeus Ross. We can anticipate seeing Liv Tyler as his daughter, Betty Ross.
A delighted Ford broke his silence about his new role in the MCU in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, expressing his excitement over joining the lip-smacking fun actors have in Marvel movies. Alongside this powerful cast, we can expect Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, and Liv Tyler to bring their characters to life.
