A Captain America: Brave New World's Potential Big Death

Key Takeaways

  • MCU fans expect a character to die for emotional impact, as trailers hint at a potential tragic outcome.
  • The director hints at serious danger for Falcon, suggesting a key emotional center will involve danger or death.
  • Joaquin Torres, a secondary character, may face early death to resonate with fans.

As a seasoned gamer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I’ve seen my fair share of battles, victories, and tragic losses. And let me tell you, the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World has got me on edge. The trailers have been dropping hints about some serious danger for our beloved Falcon, and as a fan who’s grown attached to the character over the years, I can’t help but feel a knot in my stomach.

In February next year, when “Captain America: Brave New World” premieres in cinemas, it marks a fresh start for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Notably, this film also signifies a new phase for Captain America, with Steve Rogers having passed on his title to Sam Wilson. Judging by the trailers that have been released prior to the movie, it seems that Sam will need to adapt swiftly as events appear to spiral out of control rapidly.

The outcome of events in Captain America: Brave New World remains uncertain, but it’s possible that some scenes from the trailer could be misleading. Marvel often leads audiences to expect one thing, only to deliver another. While many Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have their theories about what might happen, it seems the director of Captain America: Brave New World may have given a hint that one popular theory could be accurate.

Heartbreak In Captain America: Brave New World

A Captain America: Brave New World's Potential Big Death

One significant aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is its tendency for main characters, even those without superpowers, to rarely meet their end. They often sustain injuries that seem impossible to recover from, yet they manage to pull through. This pattern of minimal character deaths heightens the impact when a beloved character does perish, as was the case with Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame. The emotional resonance was amplified as her comrades gradually acknowledged her permanent absence and understood there was no way to bring her back. This wasn’t just a temporary setback for Black Widow; she had truly passed away and left us forever.

In the MCU, they repeatedly convey the sorrow of repeated deaths, such as in ‘Hawkeye’ when her sister sought out the one responsible for her demise. Other deaths haven’t had the same emotional impact. The death of the Scarlet Witch was portrayed more like that of a villain, which was necessary. However, in ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, it’s unclear how a possible death will be received. At the minimum, this could provide Sam Wilson with someone to mourn.

The character around which this Captain America: Brave New World theory surrounds is Joaquin Torres, who is the new Falcon after Sam took over the mantle of Cap. Torres was briefly introduced in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, though he’s expected to have quite a bit more screen time in the upcoming movie. However, if he is indeed getting more screen time, it hasn’t been shown in the trailers released so far. He’s gotten very little mention or appearances in the hype campaign leading up to February so far. And that’s why the theory points to Falcon getting killed off relatively quickly.

So far, in the build-up to February, he has received minimal attention or screen time in the promotional efforts. This is what fuels speculation that his character, Falcon, may be written out of the storyline fairly early on.

In the scene primarily focused on the crystalized Celestial from Eternals, the character makes his most extensive appearance. His brief cameos elsewhere are almost unnoticeable, similar to quick flashes. Although he is a secondary character and less renowned than Red Hulk or Captain America, it seems there might have been more opportunities for him to appear if he was going to be present in more scenes.

Captain America Director Seemingly Confirms

In a recent interview with Empire, director Julius Onah may have hinted that things will take a turn for the worse for the Marvel heroes, suggesting that they could be in trouble.

Initially, Onah hinted that there is a strong familial bond between Falcon and Sam, which he described as a “central emotional focus” of the movie. This implies that their relationship will play a crucial role in the film’s narrative. Given this context, it seems plausible that Falcon may face significant peril, if not meet his demise altogether.

Marvel isn’t hesitant about eliminating supporting characters like Torres, who plays a secondary role. Conversely, many fans cherish the partnership of Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson as the genuine Captain America and Falcon. Therefore, Marvel might consider killing off Torres to be more acceptable than altering this beloved pairing in the eyes of fans.

It’s hard not to suspect that a few righteous characters won’t survive the intense action, including explosions and gunfire, in “Captain America: Brave New World.” Given the circumstances, it appears the new Falcon is most likely the one who will face danger.
