Cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau confirmed the conclusion of production for the highly anticipated sequel, increasing the likelihood of meeting its scheduled release date on July 26, 2024.

Anthony Mackie, known for his role as Falcon, will shine as the new Captain America, having taken up the mantle after Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) decided to move on with his life following the intense battle against Thanos (Josh Brolin) in “Avengers: Endgame.” Rogers entrusted the shield and its symbolic significance to Sam Wilson, now stepping into the iconic role and becoming a beacon of hope in the Marvel universe.
While the plot details of this upcoming blockbuster remain concealed within Kevin Feige’s office, there are intriguing story threads scattered throughout the franchise that could be explored in Wilson’s journey. For instance, the Eternals recently prevented the destruction of Earth by a Celestial hatching from within it, leaving the alien’s lifeless body adrift in the ocean. Despite the passage of time since the Eternals’ movie release, this matter has yet to be addressed in subsequent Marvel stories, making the discovery of a colossal alien shell potentially captivating for a government known to seize such advanced technology.

Another notable aspect of “Captain America: Brave New World” is the inclusion of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. While previously portrayed by the late William Hurt, Marvel sought a new voice to carry the character forward within their ever-expanding narrative. The formidable Harrison Ford has been cast in the role, making his debut alongside Anthony Mackie in this film. Considering Ross’s upcoming appearance in “Thunderbolts,” it seems the studio has grand plans for this imposing antagonist.
