Captain America 4 Trailer Reveals Anthony Mackie's Return & Red Hulk

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed a lot since 2016's "Captain America: Civil War." The Avengers have become a united force once again, Thanos (Josh Brolin) has been defeated once and for all, and, crucially, Chris Evans' Steve Rogers is Captain America no longer. However, that doesn't mean the MCU has been left without a Cap. As seen on Disney+'s miniseries "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson has risen as the new Captain America — and the next chapter of his journey in this brave new world is on the horizon.

"Captain America: Brave New World" is positioned both as the fourth "Captain America" film and the first to feature Wilson's iteration of the character in the titular role. Since the movie was first announced back in 2021, a number of juicy details have slowly trickled out, including the return of Tim Blake Nelson's Leader from "The Incredible Hulk." However, the first full trailer for the upcoming film has blown the door wide open to give fans their clearest look yet at this new adventure for Captain America.

The trailer for "Captain America: Brave New World" gives fans a taste of what the new Captain America has been up to since his debut on "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." While Sam Wilson may have had a bombastic start to his tenure as Cap, he's been finding himself stuck on the sidelines due to all manner of messy politics and bureaucracy. However, the re-emergence of the villainous Leader is all it takes to give the star-spangled hero a chance to prove once and for all that the world still needs a Captain America.

The trailer features a cursory look at the film's cast, which includes a number of returning MCU actors. Among the highlights is Tim Blake Nelson's Leader, who appears to be hewing far closer to his comic book counterpart than his previous appearance. Then, there's a look at Harrison Ford's long-awaited MCU debut, as he takes over the role of Thunderbolt Ross from the late William Hurt. Perhaps most intriguing of all, however, are the teases of Danny Ramirez's Joaquin Torres as the new Falcon.

While the trailer shows off quite a bit of what fans can expect from "Captain America: Brave New World," it's also clearly keeping a few key elements close to the chest for now. Nonetheless, all will be revealed when the movie hits theaters on February 14, 2025.
