[The Epoch Times, April 13, 2024](Compiled and reported by Epoch Times reporter Ye Zijie) On the 11th local time, Disney showed the audience for the first time part of “Captain America 4” at the International Film Industry Conference (CinemaCon 2024). General “Thunder Ross”, played by Harrison Ford, serves as the President of the United States and wants Captain America to rebuild the Avengers.
“Captain America: Brave New World” (Captain America: Brave New World) is the 35th film in the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” (MCU) and the last film in the fifth phase, directed by Julius Oner Directed by Julius Onah, American actor Anthony Mackie stars as the new “Captain America”, and Hollywood superstar Harrison Ford plays General “Thunder Ross”.

According to “Variety”, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said at the conference on Thursday that the atmosphere of the film is more like “another fast-paced, relatively grounded action thriller.” Just like 2014’s beloved Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which pointed out that “there are no aliens.”
McGee’s first MCU movie was “Captain America 2”, in which he played “Falcon” Sam Wilson and actor Chris Evans played “Captain America” Stephen Rogers. Sam is Stephen’s most important ally and most trustworthy person. That’s why at the end of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, he was chosen as captain by an aging, retired Stephen.
In the 2021 Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” although Sam has no intention of accepting the shield or becoming “Captain America,” the series explores a particularly difficult experience for Sam. Eventually Sam accepted the role and proved himself more than capable of carrying the shield.
According to “EW” and “ScreenRant” reports, in the “Captain America 4” short clip played by Disney at the international film industry conference, “Thunder Ross” is the new President of the United States (photo), Ross welcomed veteran Sam to the White House and thanked him for his past heroics. While he admits he’s not a big fan of superheroes, he says he can see Sam’s good intentions. Ross said to Sam, “I want Captain America to help me rebuild the Avengers.”

American actor Danny Ramirez plays U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Joaquin Torres, a friend of Sam. As Sam is promoted to Captain America, he becomes the new “Falcon”. Joaquin and Sam appear in the montage, with Ross thanking the audience for the mission they accomplished.
However, they soon realized there was a security breach in the inner circle around Rose. As Ross was talking, some sound started playing from the speakers, and Ross stopped talking to see what was going on. The sound seemed to trigger something inside the sleeping “super soldier” Isaiah Bradley in the room. Isaiah stood up, his face expressionless, grabbed a gun and shot President Ross, unable to control himself.
Another general did the same thing, and just like the Frost Soldiers, there were many people who wanted to kill the president. There are a lot of battle scenes in the film, including one scene where Sam is holding Captain America’s shield and trying to save the president, while a group of people are attacking Sam with electronic weapons. A SWAT team arrives to protect the president, and Isaiah escapes.
The clip then goes back to the beginning, with Ross telling Sam, “Do your job. You’re not Steven Rogers.” Sam replies, “I know, I’m not.” The clip ends with Sam wearing a new Captain America’s suit is turned away from the camera, and a drone flies out of his back.
Mackie revealed to EW that Captain America 4 will feel ten times bigger than The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He said: “Our biggest discussion from the beginning was not to make this movie the second part of The Falcon and the Cold Warriors, but to make it a movie with its own story and its own characters.”
McGee said that the title of the “Captain America 4” movie means that there is now a new, bigger enemy; there is a new territory that they must conquer. He said: “From Captain America: The First Avenger to Endgame, it’s always been good guys versus bad guys. Now that we’ve conquered that territory, where do we go from here? Be the bad guys. When they reappear, in what form will they appear again?”
“It’s a new storyline, with new characters, new beliefs, and it creates a new idea for the new world we’re going to.”
“Captain America: Brave New World” will be released in the United States on February 14, 2025.
