Captain America: Brave New World is nearly here and Marvel Studios is pulling out all the stops with promotional partnerships to raise awareness for its big screen follow-up to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
A new commercial for American Family Insurance sees Anthony Mackie reprise his role as Sam Wilson/Captain America as the hero takes flight before checking in on a local family.
This is only the second time we've seen the actor as Cap, and Mackie is likely to have only appeared in the aforementioned Disney+ series and Brave New World before Avengers: Doomsday rolls around next summer. The shield suits Sam and we expect the former Falcon to lead his own team against Doctor Doom a little over a year from now.
A second commercial, this time for Barbasol shaving cream, includes a few new snippets of footage from the movie as Sam and Joaquin Torres share a moment.
"There is certainly more story to be told for Captain America," Captain America: Brave New World executive producer Nate Moore said in a recent interview. "Sam might find that, moving forward, he might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the proverbial fire."
He added, "I think that Avengers teams are best when they are led by a Captain America. And this movie gives us a little bit of space to talk about, 'Where are the Avengers? What does it mean to have Avengers? And is Sam the right guy to lead them?'"
