CAPTAIN AMERICA 4 Writer Hopes Movie "Will Be To Young Men What THE PRINCESS & THE FROG Was To Young Women"

Captain America: Brave New World co-writer Rob Edwards has taken to social media to hype up the next MCU movie with an unexpected reference to a 2009 Disney animated film...

By MarkCassidy - Jan 26, 2025 09:01 AM EST

With Captain America: Brave New World set to hit theaters in just over two weeks, writer Rob Edwards - who worked on the script along with Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, Peter Glanz and director Julius Onah - has taken to social media to hype up the next MCU movie.

"This movie was a ton of fun to write," Edwards posted on Instagram. "The Marvel sandbox is unparalleled, and the producers there are the best and the brightest. The movie comes out next month, but advanced tickets are on sale now. I can’t wait for you guys to see it. I’m hoping this movie will be to young men what The Princess and the Frog was to young women."

Though Edwards doesn't directly compare Brave New World to The Princess and the Frog, the reference has raised a few eyebrows. While this mention might seem a bit random, it's worth noting that Edwards also penned the script for Disney's 2009 animated adaptation.

TPATF is widely viewed as an inspirational tale, and Edwards clearly has faith that Sam Wilson's (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen outing as the Sentinel of Liberty will have a similar impact.

Marketing has kicked up a few gears over the past week or so, with new teasers and TV spots released on the regular. Marvel has kept a few things under wraps (the Leader, for example), but we're not expecting the fourth Captain America movie to be full of surprises.

You can check out the latest social media promo along with Edwards' post below.

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. The film is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

"I was a little concerned about taking over from Bill Hurt, who was a wonderful actor," Ford said of stepping into the role of Thaddeus Ross following the death of Willian Hurt. "I was ambitious to find the right way of assuming this character after the audience had seen other people doing it."

"I’m only slightly familiar with the Marvel Universe - I live in another universe - but I have watched a number of Marvel films with wonderful actors, apparently having a good time," he continued. "And I thought, 'Well, why not me?'"

Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.

I have to admit, I don't quite understand the reference or what he means. That said, if there's a inspirational tale in which a patriotic man stands up a corrupt (oddly colored) president, that seems like a positive and timely theme.

@Izaizaiza - It was the first African American Disney Princess and he was a writer for that and now this will be the first African American titular MCU movie hero (rather than just supporting character, not counting Black Panther who wasn't American character wise).

THOSE are the only two things, him being a writer and a first for a franchise, that is likely being referenced not anything to do with narratives or tone.

@Izaizaiza - He is saying he hopes the movie will be liked by little boys as much as that other film he made was loved by little girls. It's just CBM trying to confuse people again.

@Izaizaiza -

This writer seems to be not very well in the head, for that reason they had to do several reshots and 4 screenings with test audiences and each time it made less sense than the previous one.

@Izaizaiza - Pal O' Mine, let me tell you a little story about a crazy town call "Hollyweird".

It's a part of California that is ran by a one-party system. Now, this specific area has a certain toxic sickness to it. It's called TDS.

TDS plagues a certain portion of the town. Particularly the local film industry.

Believe it or not, I don't really care about Trump or politics in general. I haven't voted since Obama.

But you all keep pointing at others and saying "crazy" and "bigot" and the only people I see exhibiting this behavior, at least on here is you all. Not specifically you, as I've never seen you name call, but the other lackeies on here.

Sure you have a few right wing troll accounts on here, but you all are the majority.

I just don't understand the obsession you all have with him. Can you please explain it to me sans any whataboutisms?

Obama president again?

The people that are against Trump aren’t patriotic, they hate the country, don’t believe in God, are against nuclear families, and would rather see everything burn because things didn’t go their way.

@Ikusa - being a student of History, and having a number of historians in my family, the rise of trump follows some very disturbing patterns. It parallels the rise of many fascists and authoritarians throughout history. In my opinion, Trump's reelection signals the death of the Republic. As a parent, I am horrified that I'm going to have to raise my children in some kind of fascist hellscape instead of a flawed democracy. I've also been admittedly shocked and dismayed at how easily people on the right have been manipulated through propaganda over the last 40 years. I've seen the GOP run more and more on actual bullshit. I get support of trump if you are an immoral billionaire, but seeing so many working class folks devolve into gleeful idiots for a corrupt traitor who is going to do nothing for them is mind-blowing.

The other half of my family is made up of scientists. Back in the late '90s, I kind of had to admit to myself that we, as a country weren't going to do anything about climate change, even though at that point we'd already been aware of the the danger for decades. Now, 25 years later, we're still not doing anything, in the small efforts that were being made have been rolled back by our new fascist government. Again, as a parent, and understanding what that means for the future, I'm horrified.

Hope that explains my position

@AllsNotGood - I've been predicting a trump win for months. The writing was on the wall, not just by the way Biden and the Democrats bungled the whole thing by Biden staying in too long and them not having a proper primary, but also seeing how completely moronic, easily manipulated, in fact resistant the political right continued to be. I've watched the four-decade brainwashing of conservative Americans, and at this point they are, frankly, so [frick]ing stupid That they would happily blow their own foot off with a shotgun if it meant "sticking it to the libs"
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 1/26/2025, 3:47 PM
@IronMan616 - frankly, that's the type of delusional comment I would expect from you.

Let me spell this out for you: Trump hates the Republic, just as much as he hates law and order. The fact that so many working class conservatives have devolved to the point where they completely lack critical thinking skills and will vote for that man. Who is going to do absolutely nothing for him is sadly, not surprising.

Also, most progressives are theists, and there isn't anybody who is "against nuclear families", you [frick]ing weirdo

@Ikusa - Trump is a criminal, a fascist, a traitor, an insurrectionist, a liar, an adjudicated sex offender, and a very dumb man who says the stupidest shit and is involved in constant scandals. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Why do you think California has a one-party system? Maybe Republicans should nominate better people if they want a chance there. Lol.

@Izaizaiza - You'll get through it, buddy. America always does. Trump needed a year long headstart and the entire mainstream media along with several billionaires banding together to somehow shove his rotting, senile, criminally indicted ass over the finish line... and he somehow still came within 1% of losing. Look what Kamala achieved in just a few months. The real America is still kicking. It survived one Trump term and gave him the boot as soon as it could. It will again.

Also, let's be honest, Trump is gonna kick the bucket soon. I mean have you seen that guy? He looks like a bronzer-smeared corpse. That guy is supposed to work 20 hours a day the next four years? Watch him collapse and then all the Magats eat each other. And there is no one to take the reigns. I don't think a "President Vance" with his negative approval rating can unite the party behind himself.

The world is shit right now. But nothing is ever so broken that we can't fix it. :)
