Captain America 4: Brave New World has been making headlines ever since it was announced. There have been many rumors surrounding the film, including Robert Downey Jr.’s potential return as Tony Stark. Alongside these speculations, there is another rumor circulating that could potentially dampen the excitement for the film – the plot.
Anthony Mackie will be starring in his first solo film as the new Captain America, taking over the role from Chris Evans in Avengers: Endgame. We witnessed Steve passing on the shield to Mackie’s Falcon in the 2019 blockbuster MCU film. Following that, we saw Sam embrace his new superhero identity in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The upcoming movie will continue this storyline, exploring a world without Steve Rogers and how Sam adapts to it.
According to the latest rumors, Captain America 4’s plot will not be a departure from what we have already seen in the MCU. An entertainment scoop account, CaWeGetSomeToast, on X via Cosmic Book News, has shared that the Anthony Mackie-led film’s storyline will be similar to the first film in the franchise, Captain America: The First Avenger.
According to the insider, the film will answer the question of “Where is Captain America in the MCU?” The account further reveals that Sam has been benched as Captain America, with President Ross believing that his time in that role is better suited for publicity. However, Sam knows deep down that he is meant to be in the field, and this conflict forms just the tip of the iceberg for the film’s storyline.
Further speculating on the plot, the insider points out the similarities between the fourth film and the initial solo Captain America movie. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Marvel is taking extra precautions to avoid plot leaks following the controversy surrounding Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earlier this year.
In Captain America 4, Harrison Ford will portray the character Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, while Anthony Mackie plays the new Captain America. The film, Captain America 4: Brave New World, is scheduled to hit theaters next year. Stay tuned to Celebtrends for more updates on Hollywood!
