The Falcon and The Winter Soldier established Sam Wilson as the MCU's new Captain America and the hope now is that Captain America: Brave New World will make it so that he'll lead the Avengers heading into Doomsday and Secret Wars.
After working alongside Bucky Barnes on Disney+, Sam will be joined by Joaquin Torres, a.k.a. the new Falcon, for his next big screen appearance. In a newly released still from Captain America: Brave New World, we see them heading into action together in their civilian gear.
It can't be a coincidence that the room they're in is bathed in red, though the trailers have suggested only Cap will do battle with Red Hulk.
"There is certainly more story to be told for Captain America," Captain America: Brave New World executive producer Nate Moore recently said. "Sam might find that, moving forward, he might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the proverbial fire."
Moore adds, "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?'"
This new look at the movie comes after we recently learned about Marvel Studios' scrapped plans for a post-credits scene revolving around Red Hulk. Now, it's believed it will do something to set the stage for the next Avengers movies instead.
