Director Julius Onah teases Sam Wilson’s trials in “Captain America: Brave New World.” Despite fans’ anticipation for Anthony Mackie’s return as Captain America, Onah’s comments about testing Sam’s vulnerability have sparked online concern.

“The action in this movie is incredibly exciting,” said Onah. “This is a guy who can break, this is a guy who can bleed. We get to have a lot of fun pushing him to the limit.”

Speculation abounds regarding the potential consequences for Sam Wilson. With talk of escalating stakes, some believe that a significant threat may emerge, warranting the government’s intervention and the assembly of the Thunderbolts.

If Mackie’s hero is absent from the promotion for “Thunderbolts,” it might indicate he’s incapacitated. As a regular man, fighting a formidable enemy, perhaps one with gamma radiation powers, would be challenging. Such a scenario presents a perilous threat for a veteran Avenger in the MCU. However, given the unpredictability of these films, anything is possible.

Concerns arise not only from these isolated remarks but also from Marvel’s broader statements.

Phase Zero spoke to Marvel Studios Producer Nate Moore regarding the release of Eternals. Moore, also a producer on Captain America: Brave New World, discussed Sam Wilson’s challenges in proving himself in his first MCU movie.

“I think, he’s not Steve Rogers and I think that’s a good thing,” Moore told our hosts. “Because to me, this new Cap is Rocky. He’s going to be the underdog in any situation. He’s not a super soldier. He’s not a hundred years old. He doesn’t have the Avengers. What happens with this guy who announces publicly kind of, without the support, ‘I’m new Captain America.’ What happens next? I think is fascinating because he’s a guy. He’s a guy with wings and a shield, but he is a guy.

The producer emphasized the rigorous testing that awaits the new Captain America, despite his perceived physical inferiority. They believe that true heroism lies beyond physical prowess, a theory they intend to demonstrate through Mackie’s portrayal of Sam Wilson.

So, What’s Really Going On With Cap 4?

Despite indications that Sam Wilson may face adversity, optimism remains. Captain America’s survival is highly likely, as the upcoming “Avengers 5” film requires a stable roster, and Sam is a top contender for a key role. Additionally, the MCU’s rumored “recalibration” suggests that familiar characters will be prioritized, making Sam’s future presence probable.

Mackie emphasized that this movie serves as a decisive reset, redefining the Marvel universe’s identity and trajectory. He likened it to the impact of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” highlighting the franchise’s evolution toward a distinct and innovative chapter.

Mackie reflected on the evolution of the franchise’s conflict: “The enemy has always been a clear dichotomy of good versus evil, but now we’ve conquered that. We’re exploring a new storyline with new characters and beliefs, creating a fresh perspective on the world we’re entering.”
