Speaking of Captain America, the next film in the franchise is dubbed Captain America: Brave New World, and it is slated to hit theaters on August 26th 2024. Comicbook.com’s Phase Zero podcast spoke to Captain America 4 producer Nate Moore about what’s next for Sam Wilson. The executive gestured toward some very key differences between Steve Rogers and the new Captain America as Phase 4 and 5 build the ramp toward The Multiverse Saga.
“I think, [Sam’s] not Steve Rogers and I think that’s a good thing,” Brave New World producer Nate Moore previously told us during the podcast. “Because to me, this new Cap is Rocky. He’s going to be the underdog in any situation. He’s not a super soldier. He’s not a hundred years old. He doesn’t have the Avengers. What happens with this guy who announces publicly kind of, without the support, ‘I’m new Captain America.’ What happens next?”
Who’s all inย Captain America 4?
In addition toย Anthony Mackieย returning as the eponymous Avenger inย Captain America: Brave New World, other returning actors include Liv Tyler (Betty Ross), Tim Blake Nelson (The Leader), Carl Lumbly (Isaiah Bradley), and Danny Ramirez (Joaquin Torres). Shira Haas is making herย Marvel Cinematic Universeย debut as the iconic Marvel comics character Sabra in the film while Harrison Ford is playing Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the place of the late William Hurt.ย Captain America: Brave New Worldย is being directed by Julius Onah (The Cloverfield Paradox).
“The first day was so intimidating,”ย Mackie recently revealed toย Inverseย about working with Ford. “I was so f*cking nervous I couldn’t remember my lines. He’s Harrison f*cking Ford. There is this aura about him. But he dispels that really quickly because he’s such a cool guy. He’s everything a movie star should be. He would say, ‘Let’s shoot this piece of sh*t.’ And everybody was like, ‘Yeah, let’s shoot this sh*t.’” Mackie can’t go into specifics about his scenes with Ford, but he notes that there are plenty of them. “We spent a good bit of time together. Ross and Cap have always had that relationship, where they were friends and they respected each other, but they always bumped heads. That’s their relationship in the storyline.”
Captain America: Brave New Worldย is currently scheduled to hit theaters on August 26, 2024.ย
