Sam Wilson is Captain America. That much has been established since The Falcon and the Winter Soldier way back in 2021. Now he’s going to make his official big screen debut next year in Captain America: Brave New World. And today we finally got a good look at Sam in costume!
Exclusively reported by Empire Magazine, we got to see star Anthony Mackie in his new suit for the highly anticipated Marvel Studios release. The cowl is gone (thankfully) and the suit is primarily blue now, as opposed to the more comic-accurate white suit from the 2021 miniseries.
I’ll be honest, as much as I love the idea of the white suit, it didn’t translate as well for me on screen. This looks quite sleek and pretty dashing on Mackie. Take a look for yourself here:
The quote from director Julius Onah is also encouraging. Tapping into the essence of what Captain America stands for — someone willing to selflessly risk his life do what’s right no matter how painful or high the cost — emphasizes why Sam Wilson is the perfect successor to Steve Rogers. Here’s hoping we get a trailer next!
Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters February 14, 2025!
