Marvel confirms a definitive change for Captain America 5 years after the end of Steve Rogers’ MCU era

The second full trailer for Captain America: Brave New World reveals how the world sees the new Captain America after Steve Rogers’ retirement. D23 Brasil 2024 revealed trailers for the MCU’s 2025 releases, including Rays* and Captain America: Brave New World. The latter provides a clearer look at Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk and confirms that Isaiah Bradley has been brainwashed by the Leader, who is pulling the strings behind a secret conspiracy.

It’s no secret that Steve Rogers’ legacy is inherently tied to the title of Captain America. Even though Sam Wilson has everything he needs to take on the mantle, some will inevitably question his capabilities. Node Captain America: Brave New World trailers, President Ross expresses this sentiment by telling Sam Wilson, “You’re not Steve Rogers” to which Sam responds “You’re right. I’m not.” However, Most people recognize that Sam Wilson didn’t replace Steve Rogers, but rather became Captain America.

Four characters approach Sam Wilson as Captain America. In the second Captain America: Brave New World trailer, Isaiah Bradley, Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder, The Leader, and Ruth Bat-Seraph are shown calling Sam “Cap” or “Captain America”. The fact that close allies, government officials, mercenaries, and supervillains recognize Sam Wilson’s title reveals that he is not overshadowed by the legacy of Steve Rogers and has instead made the mantle of Captain America his own.

Sam Wilson didn’t just inherit the title of Captain America – he also earned it

Steve Rogers’ absence in Captain America: Brave New WorldThe trailers suggest that his whereabouts will be ignored. The MCU’s lack of clear information about Steve Rogers’ death has been a sign of respect for the character, as Steve’s perfect ending in Avengers: Endgame does not require any form of follow-up. Sam Wilson’s first mission as Captain America wasn’t easy either, as he had to fight to recover John Walker’s shield while also stopping a terrorist group in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Sam Wilson didn’t just inherit the title of Captain America – he also earned it.

Captain America: Brave New WorldThe second trailer offers a glimpse of Captain America’s fighting prowess. Sam Wilson has never been faster, stronger or more agile. In the trailer, Captain America faces several armed enemies simultaneously, fights the Red Hulk and races in fighter jets. Cap survives a missile attack while airborne and cuts a burning car in half – both with the help of his vibranium wings. These feats are unique to Sam Wilson and could make him a more powerful Captain America than Steve Rogers.

However, Captain America: Brave New WorldThe second trailer suggests that Sam Wilson will once again prove himself without his full Captain America gear. Just like he stopped the Flag Smashers mainly without the shield. The Falcon and the Winter SoldierSam Wilson will reportedly be “caught without wings” while fighting Sidewinder, and his shield will be stripped at some point in the film. Still, Captain America will come out victorious anyway, as he always does.
