The upcoming Captain America film could play a crucial role in uniting the Avengers before facing their next battle.
Captain America: Brave New World Can finally answer whether Iron Man or Captain America is right nine years after Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. Civil war was the catalyst that tore the Avengers apart earlier Avengers: Infinity War. The government wanted to stop superhero accounts through the Sokovia Accords and Tony Stark believed the Avengers should follow suit. However, Steve Rogers felt that the best hands are still their own and the Avengers need to act independently of any political entities. While the end of the film leans to the side of Cap, the film does a good job of justifying both sides.
Nearly a decade later, there is still debate over whether Tony or Steve was correct. Some believe that the MCU’s superheroes are still too reckless about how they save the world, while others believe that the fallout could be worse if the Avengers were not allowed to act independently. Captain America 4 Is continuing that storyline and recent footage featured a conversation that could end the debate for good.

Thunderbolt Ross’ regret over the split The Avengers shows that the team cap is right
New footage for Captain America 4 was recently shown at the D23 Expo. The footage included an expanded scene from the trailer when Thunderbolt Ross, now President Ross, tells Sam Wilson that he wants Captain America to become an official military position again. In this footage, he also tells Sam he wants help rebuilding the Avengers. Sam reminds him that he tore up the Avengers when he passed the Sokovia Accords. Ross says that he now represents all of America and acknowledges that half of them wouldn’t be here without the Avengers.
If the central figure behind the Sokovia Accords admits it was a mistake, it’s a massive indictment of Tony’s argument and proof that Captain America won.
The acknowledgment shows that Ross regrets his role in killing the Avengers and admits that the world needs them. If the central figure behind the Sokovia Accords admits it was a mistake, it’s a massive indictment of Tony’s argument and proof that Captain America won. The split of the Avengers was the worst thing to happen to the world, because they could not fight Thanos as a united unit in Infinity Warled to his victory. Steve Rogers was right in saying, “We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own“And Ross’ change of heart supports that.
Ross may be rebuilding the Avengers just for political gain
Ross’ mission to rebuild the Avengers is a show of good faith to Sam Wilson that he wants to move on from their past disagreements. However, his statement that he represents the people of America means that he cannot do it because he believes it is right. Instead, he could seek more political goodwill with his delegates, and bringing back the Avengers could do that. Another moment of the footage shows that Sam disagrees with the President, and when Sam says, “This is bulls**t“, Ross responds, “This is politics.”
Ross’ commitment to political strategy over what is right shows that he may not have changed from his old ways. However, it’s promising to see that he’s moved on from his vendetta against the Avengers, convenient timing as the MCU moves to Avengers: Doomsday. Captain America: Brave New World Could be pivotal in how the team comes together before their next battle.
