In just a few days, we’re almost there with the highly anticipated premiere of “Captain America: Brave New World.” The latest promotional material offers intriguing hints at a significant and possibly influential storyline that fans can eagerly anticipate in the upcoming movie.

Captain America: A Bold New Era

This highly anticipated movie is under a lot of scrutiny, being the initial theatrical release of the year and the first significant project from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following the setbacks of 2023 and the MCU-inspired, yet unrelated, Deadpool & Wolverine‘s venture. The spotlight is particularly on Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, who will be making his debut as Captain America in a leading role for the first time within the MCU. Notable additions to the cast include Harrison Ford, set to portray Thunderbolt Ross and his alter ego, the Red Hulk, along with an array of other gifted actors. Despite facing numerous challenges, production hurdles, and negative news throughout its development, things seem to be improving recently.

In the upcoming film, it appears that the Red Hulk might not feature heavily, but Thunderbolt Ross is planning significant actions. A recent clip on Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube channel, called ‘Rebuild The Avengers’, shows Ross asking Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson to take up the mantle of Captain America and reform the Avengers. Initially acknowledging that Wilson’s deeds have altered his perception of the rights of enhanced individuals, Ross then requests Wilson’s help in rebuilding the Avengers. Wilson cautiously queries why Ross – who admits he disbanded the initial Avengers through the Sokovia Accords – has had this change of heart. This query leads to a key character moment for Ross in the film, as he confesses his mistake and says, “I now represent all Americans. In fact, half of them wouldn’t be here without the Avengers. The country needs this.” Wilson then asks what will happen when they don’t see eye-to-eye on decisions, to which Ross responds that they’ll find a way to work it out together.

This video clip could be the most significant piece of information about the film for fans since the promotional phase started, and it does an excellent job at making the characters more intriguing before the movie’s release than some might anticipate from a one-minute dialogue without any special effects. The scene is filled with intentional writing that helped construct the Marvel Cinematic Universe piece by piece, and it fuels the growing sense of cautious optimism surrounding Brave New World. Fans who have viewed the clip appear to be overwhelmingly impressed, with very few dislikes and many comments lauding Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Ross.

Creating an Avengers team under Ross’ administration could lead to numerous intriguing possibilities within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Although it might simplify logistical concerns, it would also demand the MCU to confront complex ethical and geopolitical dilemmas, which have historically spawned compelling narratives in the comics. This could be the trajectory we witness post-Captain America: Brave New World, or alternatively, the new Avengers might come together as expected, but Ross’ participation may not be essential. In a fictional setting, it might feel odd for viewers to see their heroes disregard their own government’s interests, especially when it’s not an exaggerated villainous caricature of itself. Given the strained dynamic between the team and the government in earlier phases, it’s challenging to envision an Avengers squad that starts off with a completely estranged relationship with Washington, essentially making them vigilantes. Fans often become passionate when Captain America has to challenge the U.S. government in significant ideological disagreements, as evidenced by the online reaction to Mackie’s recent Captain America comments, despite being relatively mild.

The outcome of the following events is largely contingent on Mackie’s response and whether this sequence is from the finale of the upcoming movie. However, it’s evident that Sam Wilson will spearhead the fresh wave of heroes in the MCU moving forward. Although Mackie has set a limit to his tenure as Captain America in the MCU, he still has ample time to gather and direct a new Avengers squad to confront the franchise’s next major adversary – Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. Whether Cap and the rest of the team manage to save the world with or without approval from Ross, they will remain Earth’s most powerful heroes and the inheritors of a legacy greater than any single character or fictional organization.

Captain America: Brave New World is set for theatrical release on February 14, 2025.
