Anthony Mackie’s Captain America is getting a wardrobe upgrade! Empire Magazine revealed a first look at Sam Wilson sporting a new, classically-styled dark blue suit in the upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World.” This marks a departure from the white Captain America suit Wilson donned in the finale of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”
Following Steve Rogers’ retirement after the defeat of Thanos in “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” explored Wilson’s grappling with the legacy of Captain America. “Brave New World” will be his official debut as the new star-spangled hero in 2025.
A Captain America for a New Era
Director Julius Onah hints that Wilson’s Captain America will face challenges distinct from his predecessor. Unlike Rogers, who was enhanced with the Super Soldier Serum, Wilson is a human without superhuman abilities. This is reflected in the film’s action sequences, according to Onah, who promises a focus on Wilson’s resourcefulness and fighting skills.
Furthermore, Wilson will find himself at odds with the government on various issues. “Part of the challenge for Sam… is the way he’s going to make decisions,” Onah explains. This internal conflict adds a layer of complexity to Wilson’s character, showcasing a Captain America who must navigate the political landscape alongside the fight for justice.
A Blend of Tradition and Originality
The new suit pays homage to Steve Rogers’ Captain America while incorporating elements unique to Sam Wilson. The dark blue color scheme evokes Rogers’ suit from “The Winter Soldier,” suggesting a thematic connection between the two Captain Americas. However, Wilson’s suit also incorporates the red and white colors that are emblematic of the Captain America legacy.
This blend of tradition and originality reflects Wilson’s own journey as Captain America. He carries the mantle forward while forging his own path, a Captain America for a new generation.
