The Brave New World is coming
Marvel revealed the first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World on July 12, giving Marvel fans their first look at Anthony Mackie’s first big-screen appearance as Cap since officially donning the title at the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
President Thaddeus Ross (Ford) brings Sam in to attempt to make Captain America an official member of the U.S. military again, though Sam has his reservations. The film appears to be taking a page out of The Winter Soldier’s book in being a more grounded and conspiracy-focused story, though details are hard to gather from this brief trailer.
We see assassination attempts, hints of double agents and betrayal within the government, and shady figures pulling strings for unknown global powers. The most exciting image is Sam’s new suit which combines his Falcon and Captain America outfits.

While the footage implies Giancarlo Esposito is playing the villain, the trailer does end with a tease of a more superpowered threat. The final shots clearly show Red Hulk catching Cap’s shield and tossing it into the ground. In the comics, Red Hulk has been three different characters, however, it is clear who it will be in Brave New World for anyone familiar with the comics.
