November 10, 2024: The Captain America: Brave New World trailer definitely has fans buzzing with excitement! The stakes look higher than ever for Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), who’s stepping into the Captain America role amidst a global crisis.
The introduction of Harrison Ford as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross—and his transformation into the Red Hulk—promises some intense, high-stakes action, and the personal toll it could take on Sam as he navigates his new role as both a leader and symbol of justice adds an intriguing emotional layer.
The reference to the “nefarious global plot” and the line “seeing red” really points to a complex, international conflict, with Ross clearly becoming a major antagonist. Given Ross’ history in the MCU and his complicated relationship with various heroes, it’s exciting to see how he’ll clash with Sam as the new Captain America, especially with the world potentially teetering on the edge of a larger threat.
With the inclusion of familiar faces like Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) and the rumored returns of other MCU characters, there’s a lot of potential for deepening the narrative threads that were started in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And the addition of stars like Giancarlo Esposito and Shira Haas will definitely add some fresh energy to the mix.
Given the ambitious nature of the MCU’s Phase Five slate—alongside the upcoming Thunderbolts and Daredevil: Born Again—Captain America: Brave New World looks set to be a pivotal moment in the MCU’s evolving storyline.
