Sam Wilson is Captain America.
Boy, it feels good to say that. After today's superb episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a new Cap, and if what we've seen from him thus far is any indication, there's no one better to wield the shield. Of course, with a new moniker comes a new costume, and we now have your first proper look at the former Falcon suited up as Captain America.
For many of you, this won't come as a surprise. It was several months ago that an action figure and promo art featuring this version of Cap first found its way online, while we've seen several other toys in recent months, as well as last night's spoilery TV spot. That's a shame in some ways, but we have known since Avengers: Endgame that Sam's story was leading to this...Marvel Studios just decided to stretch it out a little!
Regardless, there's no faulting this costume, especially as it nicely pays homage to the source material and looks awesome on Anthony Mackie. He follows in the footsteps of Chris Evans and Wyatt Russell, and it honestly doesn't seem unfair to say that this costume tops both of theirs.
