Sam Wilson became Captain America in Disney+'s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. While he will wear that show's suit for at least part of Captain America: Brave New World, we'll primarily see the hero swoop into action with a new Steve Rogers-inspired costume.
Today, we have a much closer look at it thanks to an upcoming 1/6th scale Hot Toys figure. It's interesting that Marvel Studios has moved away from what Sam wears in the comics to a get-up more in line with the traditional Captain America red, white, and blue.
Also worth noting is how Cap's Vibranium wings have evolved since The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. As for his flight helmet, we have to imagine it was built for Sam by his old friend, Scott Lang, given the Ant-Man similarity.
"By the time you get to Doomsday, you'll have Sam at his finest point and his finest hour coming off of his battle of basically saving the world from Red Hulk," Anthony Mackie recently said while teasing his MCU future. "We will see by the end of the movie that Sam has definitely become Captain America."
"Like, there's no question," he added. "After seeing this movie, his ability, his compassion, and just everything about his leadership...everything about him screams Captain America."
Will this suit follow Sam into Avengers: Doomsday? That remains to be seen, though another update is likely inevitable for him and every other character set to appear.
