CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Still Reveals A First Official Look At The MCU's New Falcon

When Sam Wilson takes centre stage in next February's Captain America: Brave New World, he'll have some backup in Joaquín Torres, the MCU's new Falcon.

Introduced as a supporting character in Disney+'s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, he'll suit up in this movie and our first official look at him in action alongside Captain America can be seen below (he's been featured in promo art, Funko Pops, and Happy Meal toys, but this is the only still he's been included in thus far). 

Empire Online also spoke with Captain America: Brave New World's Julius Onah who, contrary to recent reports, has not been removed as the movie's helmer.

"There’s this incredible big brother/little brother dynamic between them," the filmmaker said of the new Captain America/Falcon dynamic. "It’s going to be one of the key emotional centres of the film."

"These guys are incredible fighters," Onah continued. "And Sam has been there and back. He’s got some tricks up his sleeve, and over the course of the film there are things he comes to learn that become other tools in his arsenal, when he’s facing even the most impossible of threats."

One of those impossible threats will be Harrison Ford's Red Hulk, and it's down to Captain America: Brave New World to explain how Sam Wilson - who has no superpowers - can hold his own against the villain, even with a Vibranium suit.

Perhaps he'll end up with some Adamantium upgrades?

We'll have to wait and see, but you can see the new Captain America and Falcon side-by-side in the X post below.

In Captain America: Brave New World, after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam Wilson 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 movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

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

I hope the funeral scene isn’t for Torres. I liked him in FATWS and hope he lives to fly another day

@TyrantBossMedia - Nah, they definitely would kill the Latino sidekick. They're the new 80s black character, token character, zero to little screen time and lines and first to get killed off.

@Forthas - He’s always had metallic shin and wrist guards, probably just the same stuff with red paint to fit the fit.

Looking forward to their dynamic!!.

Big brother/little brother seems like a good way to to describe it (maybe even mentor/mentee) given what we saw in FaTWS…

Mackie and Ramirez seemed to have a good chemistry with each other so hopefully it carries into this aswell.

@Crtdacct2say - in the comics maybe, but by now we should know the MCU is it's own thing. If we want it to be like the comics, we can always pick those up again

This still must be right before they start intercepting those jets near Tiamut's corpse. And maybe when Sam and Joaquín get back some Adamantium which Ross congratulates them in that White House ceremony. And then Isaiah gets mind-controlled, etc.

@NinnesMBC - Makes me wonder if Isaiah being mind controlled was to make the Red Hulk come out during the first assassination attempt.

Off-topic: In a separate interview with IGN, James Gunn says that Lanterns will come around in June which is near Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow's release date.

https://www.ign.com/articles/james-gunn-hints-when-green-lanterns-tv-show-release-date-approach?utm_source=twitter

He also talked more about the project itself:

In a recent interview with Gunn, the writer-director-producer told me where the recently cast Green Lantern TV series Lanterns fits in the schedule.

“It's really Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, Lanterns, Supergirl,” Gunn said. “And then some things people don't know.”

When asked for clarification if Lanterns would arrive before Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow hits theaters on June 26, 2026, he said that “we'll see when it comes out, but they're around the same time” and “we're getting ready to go” into production on Lanterns.

The series stars Friday Night Lights’ Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Rebel Ridge’s Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, and will apparently feature the two Green Lanterns in a more grounded story as they team up to investigate a “True Detective-type mystery.”

Of course, some fans were complaining over the casting of Chandler, who will be playing an older version of Hal Jordan than is typically seen. To this Gunn laughed, saying, “Wait a second, comic book fans had an opinion on casting. What are you talking about!?”

He added: “The truth is Chris [Mundy] and Tom [King] and Damon [Lindelof] wrote an amazing series, like an incredible series. I'm so excited for people to see this. It's very grounded, very believable, very real. The kind of things that you would never think that would be the truth about a Green Lanterns television series. And very human, adult and wonderful. And the story that they wrote fit a couple of actors who were of these ages and so that's who they cast. Those were their choices. I totally backed them up. I love them.”

Gunn also noted that Pierre was almost cast as Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, although the role ultimately went to Will Poulter. Not surprisingly, he had nothing but praise for the two Lanterns leads, saying that he’s long wanted to work with Pierre and that “Kyle's just magnificent” as Hal.


“So I'm really excited for people to see what those guys have come up with,” said Gunn. “But everything is to serve the story. The story is always first. The scripts are always first. And we would never be making this show if Chris and the guys hadn't turned in wonderful, beautiful scripts.”

He looks fine.

Now all they need to do is increase his acting skills from good character actor to outstanding charismatic leading man, then they might have a winner.

@DocSpock - No chance ...for either. I like Mackie but this is a bomb and it's not his fault.

@CreateNowSlpL8r -

I'm afraid you may be right. I will remain optimistic that we get lucky.

bkmeijer1 - 11/18/2024, 4:48 PM
@DocSpock - I honestly quite like Mackie as a leading man. He often gets the banter right with anyone he stars with, so this could be fun too
DocSpock
DocSpock - 11/18/2024, 5:17 PM
@bkmeijer1 -

I don't think he has that leading man blockbuster presence, but I like him and hope I'm wrong.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 11/18/2024, 7:32 PM
@bkmeijer1 - the 3 previous Cap movies went like this:

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Budget: Approximately $140 million
Worldwide Gross: $370.6 million

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Budget: Around $170 million
Worldwide Gross: $714.4 million

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Budget: Approximately $250 million
Worldwide Gross: $1.153 billion

Now CW had the Spidey factor and was basically an Avengers movie. Mackie isn't that kind of lead plus, it has a bunch of things from a D+ series no one knows about. Even the Celestial, no one saw that either. Last and most important, the budget for Cap 4 is approaching 400m without marketing. Think of that. They outspent having to pay all those actors in CW. This movie has NO CHANCE.

They did Sam no favors either. Hes been written like a sidekick. He got beat by Antman, got sidelined by losing a wing, and has no powers. Then they took a pretty established supporting characters from the Cap movies and threw them in the garbage.

@DocSpock

DocSpock - 11/18/2024, 8:09 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r -

Yeah, if this movie rolls out a 400-500 million dollar box office Quantumania type flop, it will be a disaster.

They have to roll out an excellent movie that brings in at least 750+ million $, or things are going to go from bad to worse.

We just have to sweat it out and see what happens.

bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/19/2024, 2:18 AM
@CreateNowSlpL8r @DocSpock - oh yeah, there's no way he's gonna make this a blockbuster hit. But with Marvel and especially the "Captain America" brand, I think a lot of people will show up regardless.
