Marvel Studios has shared the first Captain America: Brave New World clip and it features a tense exchange between Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford).
It appears the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame have led to the Commander in Chief having a change of heart when it comes to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. He wants the MCU's new Captain America to reassemble the team, something Sam is understandably wary of.
For example, what happens if they disagree? It appears Ross would rather cross that bridge when they come to it, though the President having ulterior motives isn't outside the realm of possibility.
"I mean, this is the Marvel universe and I’m just there on a weekend pass. I’m a sailor new to this town," Ford previously said of why he's chosen now to join the MCU with Captain America: Brave New World. "I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it."
"It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on. We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate," the screen icon continued. "I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that."
