The primary footage from Marvel Studios’ new movie “Captain America: Courageous New World” made its debut at CinemaCon this week and the movie’s star Anthony Mackie says that is one thing totally different from the final time you noticed Sam Wilson.
After being handed the mantle of Captain America in “Avengers: Endgame,” Wilson got here to phrases with assuming the protect in his “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” TV collection for the Disney+ service.
Now, Sam is again to guide his personal film as ‘Cap’ and Mackie needs to be clear this isn’t merely one other season of “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” – there’s a motive this can be a full movie past the truth that it’s ‘ten instances larger’. He tells EW:
“One of many greatest conversations we had from the start was for this to not be Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Half 2, for this to be its personal film with its personal story, with its personal characters.
It made extra sense for it to be extra of a grounded espionage motion film versus aliens and airplanes coming by portals and s—.
Despite the fact that I’ve been in so lots of them and have seen all of it now, the chance for Sam to actually set up himself as a real motion star and Avenger comes with this film.
Mackie’s important sidekick right here is Danny Ramirez as his tech-savvy workmate Joaquin Torres – one other iteration of Falcon from the comics. The connection between the pair is much less hero worship or brotherly rivalry than we’ve seen:
“They’re evenly yoked. They’re each army guys. I used to be his commanding officer. We’ve extra of a friendship versus the best way I admired Steve or the best way I didn’t like Bucky.”
Regardless of clear hyperlinks to each “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and 2008’s “The Unimaginable Hulk” movie, Mackie says a rewatch isn’t obligatory:
“This film is a transparent reset. It actually reestablishes the thought of what this universe is and what this universe goes to be. I believe with these films, you’re getting a transparent, new branding of what Marvel is headed in direction of the identical means they did with Captain America: The Winter Soldier… It’s a new storyline with new characters, with new beliefs, and it creates a brand new thought of this new world that we’re going into.”
Julius Onah helms the movie which is about to hit theaters on February 14th 2025.
