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.

@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.

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.

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.

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

@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

I don't think he has that leading man blockbuster presence, but I like him and hope I'm wrong.

I eagerly anticipate the chemistry between Sam Wilson and Joaquin Torres in "Captain America: Brave New World." Their interactions in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" were fantastic, showcasing a dynamic blend of camaraderie, humor, and mutual respect. How they supported each other through challenges and shared their aspirations added depth to their characters and laid a solid foundation for their relationship.

As Sam takes on the mantle of Captain America, I’m excited to see how Joaquin, who has his own journey and aspirations, will fit into this new chapter. Their bond has the potential to evolve into a powerful partnership, with Joaquin possibly stepping into a more significant role as a sidekick or even a hero in his own right. The chemistry they developed previously hinted at a strong friendship that could be tested and strengthened in the face of new challenges.

Moreover, the themes of legacy and mentorship are likely to play a crucial role in their interactions. Sam's experience and wisdom as the new Captain America could provide valuable lessons for Joaquin, while Joaquin's youthful energy and perspective might inspire Sam to embrace his new role in fresh ways. I can’t wait to see how their relationship unfolds, especially in the context of the more significant Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how they will tackle the challenges that come their way together. Overall, I believe their dynamic will be one of the film's highlights, adding emotional depth and excitement to the story.

Would love if his helmet eventually ends up similar in style to Vulture’s. I loved that dead robot eye look, very menacing.

@GameOn - same. And it was mechanical. I really don't like the nanotech helmets or those helmets that fold all the way up into the collar like Ant-Man's
