Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Danny Ramirez is excited for MCU fans to see the stunning action sequences in director Julius Onah's upcoming superhero film, Captain America: Brave New World.
Variety caught up with Ramirez at Sundance, where he was on hand for the screening of his upcoming indie black-comedy drama, Winner.
"A lot! There’s some phenomenal sequences," teased Ramirez when asked by Variety to share what element of the film is he most excited for audiences to see. Ramirez will portray Joaquin Torres, a character first introduced in the Disney+ TV series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
He continued, "The way Julius works and how he structures and layers his characters and films — “Luce” is a phenomenal example of that — like the little hidden gems he places from the score, to different elements of sound, to how he plays with some lenses. I’m excited for the entire experience, but specifically there’s one sequence that we shot, that I haven’t seen yet, but I’ve heard a lot of really great things."
Ramirez also touched on his experience filming in the new Falcon costume, stating, "[Shooting in] Atlanta, in the summer, during a 90-degree day is tough. It was insane."
However, he did receive one helpful tip from former Falcon turned Captain America actor, Anthony Mackie. "I learned by the end to follow his lead on his suit prep, so maybe not double-sleeve everything. Do the cut off," said Ramirez on making his costume as practical as possible.
After donning the stars and stripes in a Disney+ television series, Mackie will make his 'cinematic' debut as Captain America in Brave New World when the film hits theaters on February 14, 2025.
The film was originally set to be released in July 2024, but it's reported that substantial reshoots are slated for Spring/Summer 2024 after poor reactions to early test screenings.
Matthew Orton was hired back in December 2023 to rewrite a significant portion of the screenplay originally penned by the team of Onah, Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson.
Previously, Mackie shared the main difference between what it means to have Wilson slinging the shield versus Steve Rogers.
Said Mackie, "It’s more so about his ability to connect and counsel. He’s not as rash to bear arms as Steve Rogers was. Having a super serum makes you impossible to beat, so your answer to everything is to fight it out. Whereas Sam Wilson can actually die pretty easily."
The cast for the film includes Mackie's Captain America, Ramirez's Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, Harrison Ford as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (who replaces the late William Hurt), and Shira Haas as Israeli superheroine Sabra.
Rosa Salazar also has an undisclosed role in the film.
