Welcoming Sam Wilson as Captain America at the ‘Brave New World’ Press Conference

February 13, 2025February 13, 2025 Mike Manalo

Sam Wilson is Captain America. He’s been Captain America for four years in the MCU, and 10 years in the comics. As a VA PTSD counselor, and a loyal partner to Team Cap, he was always the worthiest successor to take on the shield, whether folks want to admit it or not. And yet, audiences still have trouble accepting it. However, with Captain America: Brave New World hitting theaters February 14, all that should and will soon change!

‘Brave New World’ Star Carl Lumbly on the Forgotten Captain America

February 12, 2025February 12, 2025 Mike Manalo

“The Forgotten Captain America.” It is perhaps the most tragic title to bestow any character in the MCU. Not just from a narrative standpoint, but also because of the historical implications behind what America has done to forget about its veterans, especially its POC ones. The aforementioned title belongs to Carl Lumbly’s Isaiah Bradley, who returns in Captain America: Brave New World on February 14.
