Fanboys will have to wait until San Diego Comic Con to see footage from Marvel Studios‘ 2025 release Captain America: Brave New World, but exhibitors do not. Today in Disney‘s closing CinemaCon session the studio showed off the new Anthony Mackie movie which picks up after the events of the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In that series, Sam Wilson takes over the shield left behind by the late Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
Marvel Studios Boss called “a grounded politically thriller” on stage of Casars Palace at the Colosseum before introducing Mackie.
He shared how he starred in these movies ten years ago, and loved how he’s now “starring in my own Marvel movie.” Mackie didn’t delay and introduced the footage.
In the clip, Harrison Ford’s POTUS wants Sam Wilson to rebuild the Avengers. He’s impressed what the hero did down in Mexico. However, Wilson wonders what happens if they disagree on how to manage the new team. Next scene, Ford is making a presentation to a room full of authorities. However, a couple of people in the crowd become possessed –Carl Lumbly’s Isaiah Bradley and a General– and turn on the crowd, in particular Ford’s character. Ala Air Force One, he’s a touch Potus and punches the military guy in the face.
Julius Onah directed from a script by Malcolm Spellman, who produced Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as well as Dallan Musson and Matthew Orton.
Captain America: Brave New World comes out on Feb. 14, 2025.
