Marvel Studios
Captain America: Brave New World will be Anthony Mackie’s first solo movie in the MCU. Here’s everything we know about it from its release to cast, plot, and other details.
The MCU’s Phase Four has reached its end, for better or worse. It kicked off with a too-little-too-late solo outing for Black Widow, introduced martial arts to the franchise with Shang-Chi, enlisted a whole new team with Eternals, played with a triumvirate of wall-crawlers in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and that’s before we get to Doctor Strange, Thor, and *gestures wildly* all the Disney+ content.

Steve Rogers gave the shield to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame.
At the end of Avengers: Endgame, an elderly Steve Rogers gave Sam the shield, making him the new Captain America. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier saw Sam wrestle with the reality of taking on that mantle, initially giving the shield away while the government enlisted John Walker as the official replacement.

Recently, regular Marvel insider Daniel Richtman, has stated that the movie will be primarily about “an international conflict over a new metal called Adamantium.” Of course, Adamantium is what coats Wolverine’s bones, so perhaps the X-Men could be getting involved in the plot. Not only that, but reportedly the location of this metal will be Tiamut Island, which is the island formed by the calcified Celestial in the Eternals film, perhaps linking their story to Captain America’s. Though of course, these are just rumors so far, and have not been confirmed by Marvel.
