‘Captain America: Brave New World’s Anthony Mackie Explains New Supersuit

As a long-time fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I must say that Anthony Mackie’s journey as Sam Wilson, aka Falcon and now Captain America, has been nothing short of exhilarating! The anticipation for his first standalone movie, “Captain America: Brave New World,” has reached an all-time high, especially after the latest trailer.


Anthony Mackie has been a part of the MCU for a decade, first playing Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Following Avengers: Endgame, he’s even taken on the mantle of Captain America. However, there’s one major problem that has bugged fans about his time as Cap, and Mackie has finally addressed it ahead of Captain America: Brave New Worlds release — Sam Wilson’s first standalone movie.

At the Disney APAC Showcase (as reported by Deadline), Mackie addressed a major plot point raised in the latest trailer for “Brave New World”. Mackie described his new Captain America costume as a high-tech suit, which he said allows Sam Wilson to match the pace of his superpowered predecessors despite not having the same powers. This is because the suit presumably provides enhanced capabilities that a regular person like Sam Wilson wouldn’t normally possess.

Enhancing my kicking power, accelerating my flying speed, and boosting my agility make my skills remarkably advanced. Essentially, I’m elevating my abilities to an entirely new realm.

As per the actor’s statement, Sam Wilson obtained the suit during a casual trip to Wakanda. Jokingly, he shared, “I went to Wakanda, had dinner with everyone there.” Whether this scene will be included in Captain America: Brave New World or if Sam Wilson’s vacation is addressed through dialogue remains unclear. However, when the movie premieres on February 14, 2025, Mackie promises to reveal all the details. He added humorously:

As a newcomer, I was made to feel truly welcomed, throwing an awesome bash in my honor! It was quite the vibe, but here’s the kicker: as I was saying my goodbyes, they bestowed upon me a sharp suit. Guess who’s rocking it now? Yours truly!

Captain America Fights Red Hulk in ‘Brave New World’

In the upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World”, Sam Wilson will find it essential to don that fresh suit, given the formidable opponent he’ll face. Earlier this year, Marvel Studios disclosed that Harrison Ford would portray Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, better known as Red Hulk, replacing the late William Hurt. Considering Wilson’s military expertise, it’s clear that Red Hulk has the potential to effortlessly overpower him with a single finger squeeze. This thought was certainly on fans’ minds in the recent trailer, which depicted Wilson facing off against the colossal red-skinned titan.

In the newly released trailer, we get our most detailed glimpse yet of Danny Ramirez as the new Falcon, previously introduced in the Disney+ series “Falcon and the Winter Soldier”. On-screen, he developed a strong bond with the lead characters. The upcoming movie, “Captain America: Brave New World”, set for release on Valentine’s Day 2025, seems to be presenting Ramirez as Sam Wilson’s successor as Falcon, even showcasing a flight suit tailored for him in the latest preview.
