Talking to ScreenRant, producer Nate Moore confirmed that Eli was originally in the early drafts of the movie, but they had to cut him because he had nothing much to do storywise. Moore says, “We started to feel like there were too many characters to track and we want to make sure if a character is in the film, they have something to do.”

In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Eli only had a couple of scenes, but it was clear that he knew what his grandfather’s history was, and was even antagonistic to Sam when he starts trying to find out more about Isaiah Bradley.

Admittedly, they could have just added Eli for some smalls scenes with Isaiah and Sam training, but it does seem like the movie wants to push the relationship of both Captain Americas closer; plus not revealing Eli would also make Isaiah’s situation even more desperate, upping the stakes for Sam to save him.

For now, audiences are still trying to figure out where Captain America 4 is going to sit on the MCU rankings. Though critics were harsh, the weekend was met with a lot of positive buzz from fans. Hopefully it will reflect in the next weekend box office.

In the meantime, fans can catch short scenes of Eli in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier now streaming on Disney+. Captain America: Brave New World is now showing in theaters.

Though Cap 4 may have started out with 54% on RottenTomatoes when it debuted last week, more and more reviews have been coming in showing their support for the film, and how ‘it’s not as bad as some critics are making it out to be.’ Here are some more supportive reviews that have been coming out on Twitter:

Is #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld as bad as people are saying it is?

No.

Does it have a few issues with stuff like VFX and story?

Sure.

But it’s a damn fun ride and a solid new addition to the MCU.

With a budget of reportedly $180 million, Captain America: Brave New World has managed to earn an opening weekend of $190 million. It’s unclear how the word-of-mouth is going to translate to the next weekend, but some are hopeful that this positive buzz could solidify Brave New World as a strong earner for Marvel. Some are even saying that the movie needs to make a gross upwards of $400 million for the movie to breakeven; so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Like several reviewers, I thought that the movie was a pretty solid entry. Sure, it isn’t Winter Soldier, but it’s not nearly as bad as some projects that the movie is being compared to. It feels like it has more substance than Thor: Love and Thunder, and it’s definitely more entertaining than The Eternals.

Personally, I loved that Harrison Ford’s Ross got his own solid arc, despite being the semi-antagonist of the film. Plus, Anthony Mackie absolutely shines as this new flavour of Captain America. He’s not as earnest as Steve Rogers, but he’s definitely a hard worker with a heart.

Taking to IGN, Mackie shared, “I told them that I was never wearing that shit again, dude … That was hard. With the heat, the sweat, the fogged-up glasses, it was impossible … It was my worst nightmare. You can’t do anything”

"I told them I was never wearing that s**t again," said Captain America: Brave New World's Anthony Mackie of the white cowl that was introduced in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. pic.twitter.com/GvjCaKARaM

— IGN (@IGN) February 7, 2025

The white cowl had been part of Falcon’s look in the comics, and it had also translated to his Captain America costume when Sam Wilson took on the shield. Admittedly, it was never part of Falcon’s look in the movies, and having the cowl show up in TFATWS was purely a comic tribute.

Personally, I would have preferred if they just gave him a helmet like Steve Rogers, but they probably thought the goggles were enough of a ‘mask’ for the character. He does have that full nano-helmet get-up when he goes super-speed, but it covers Mackie’s face completely—and Marvel really seems to want to push the point that this new Captain America is black.

Admittedly the film has gone through a lot of rewriting and reshooting which got a lot of fans worried; but early reviews have been great, and Brave New World should be a good first solo movie for Sam Wilson’s Cap.

Catch Captain America: Brave New World when it comes to cinemas this weekend on Feb. 14.

Now Ross is set to have a bigger role in Captain America: Brave New World, and a new clip has been dropped of him discussing the Sokovia Accords with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Check this out:

“With all due respect sir, when you passed the Sokovia Accords, you tore the Avengers apart.”

For additional context, the Sokovia Accords were named after the fictional town of Sokovia, the place that Ultron turned into a makeshift asteroid that he planned to hurl down on Earth and trigger a mass extinction. Because of the mass casualties, the Accords were put into place so the Avengers would be controlled by the UN to stop them from intervening in national conflicts with no accountability.

There’s even a short scene of Ross trying to uphold the Accords in Infinity War, but seeing that ignoring them was what saved half the universe, it would make sense that he would have a change of heart.

With no other prospective Avengers teased in the film, it’s possible that Ross’ goal to have an Avengers that the US can control will lead up to the formation of the Thunderbolts. Then again, this is just speculation, but it would fit right into whatever Marvel is planning right now.

Watch out for Captain America: Brave New World when it premieres in theaters Feb. 14.

Check out this new featurette:

While this is supposed to be Sam’s first outing as Captain America, it does seem like the marketing has been shifting the focus to Harrison Ford playing the Red Hulk. While it is impressive that the character of Ross is going to be used on a larger scale, it’s kind of a bummer to think that Mackie is getting sidelined in his own movie.

If anything, some fans are trying to remain cautiously optimistic about the film. Sure the movie is completely different from what they set out to make, but it has been said that this one has tested better with audiences. Rogue One is considered to be a fan-favorite of the Disney Star Wars era, but even that film was plagued with reshoots and rewrites that a lot of fans consider to have actually made the movie better.

Maybe fans will just have to wait and see until February to find out if all the waiting has been worth it. I thought the characterization of Sam Wilson without Steve Rogers is still solid, and I’m eager to see him take center stage this time around.

Captain America: Brave New World hits theatres on Feb. 14.

While the trailers have been very secretive about his appearance, some promo art has leaked online that gives Nelson an enlarged head and green complexion—just like the Leader in the comics. Check this out:

Official #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld promo art (1/n) #TheLeader #RedHulk pic.twitter.com/fQ7UfG6760

— Kepler (@kepleravocado) January 1, 2025

It’s unclear exactly what the Leader’s role in the movie is going to be, but people have been theorizing that he’s the one that orchestrated Thunderbolt Ross’ (Harrison Ford) presidential win, and he has something to gain with Ross being outed as the Red Hulk.

While this is just speculation from fans, it does add to the political intrigue that The Winter Soldier has leaned on, only instead of HYDRA, this looks to be one person manipulating everything for some kind of gain; maybe it has something to do with the discovery of adamantium in the corpse of the Celestial Tiamut. It’s already implied to be a more valuable attainable resource than vibranium, and after all that infighting in Wakanda Forever, maybe a new vibranium alternative would make the world explode.

Admittedly, a lot of people are worried about Brave New World with all the news of reshoots, but I am hopeful that Anthony Mackie’s Captain America gets his time to shine and has a solid run. I wouldn’t even mind Harrison Ford hanging out for a few more films.

Captain America: Brave New World is set to come out in theatres on Feb. 14.

Having worked on both franchise, Grillo talks about how enthusiastic he is to be jumping over to DC after his run with Marvel. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, he says:

“They’re very different… Marvel’s a different machine, and it’s great in its own right, but the thing I love about James’ and Peter’s DC is that it’s much more contained. It’s so much more personal and I really enjoy it better. I just love being part of something in the embryonic stage and being able to grow with it and watch it and flourish.”

Admittedly, Grillo did not have the most major part when he was working with Marvel, and was kind of the face of the villain’s muscle when he was introduced in Winter Soldier. Sure he was able to put on his comic-inspired outfit in Civil War, but he was eventually killed off in the first act.

Even then, I think that Grillo did his best to be memorable in the films, and he seems like a great choice for Rick Flagg Sr. Though we’ve seen the animated version essentially take the place of the original Rick Flagg, we’ve yet to see Grillo appear as the character in live-action. We’ll have to wait for Superman to come out in July before we can see that.

From that point, we should expect Grillo to appear in subsequent movies as Flagg. Hopefully they do something more with him than just being another muscle for the main villain (this time Amanda Waller).

Grillo is in Creature Commandos now streaming on Max.

Though no new trailer was released during The Game Awards, director Amy Hennig (Uncharted) does reveal what to expect from the game when it eventually comes out. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Hennig says about Rise of Hydra:

“It led us to do a bunch of interesting things… one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who’s still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we’ve seen in a lot of the films. It also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943.”

With the Indiana Jones game being such a hit with critics this year, it does seem like Rise of Hydra is also going to be a globe-trotting adventure that would also explore several locations—one of them being the secret nation of Wakanda. Hennig continues:

“Wakanda at this point in time is hidden away from the outside world and protected by this impenetrable jungle,” she explains. “They are non-interventionist, but events transpire that pull them into the conflict. They have to protect their interests. The world is getting smaller. No satellites yet, but there will be soon. You can shoot down planes that maybe want to fly over Wakanda, but how long can you stay in the shadows?”

Hennig goes on to explain the conflict between Black Panther and Captain America, who seem to be teaming up to face a common enemy. She says they are “confronting the same enemies and they’re concerned about the same events that are transpiring, but they’re initially almost working against each other. Good people have to work together to overcome evil. If you separate, then you’re not going to succeed.”

Hennig had directed the first three Uncharted games, so it can be easy to guess that Rise of Hydra is going to be a cinematic action-platformer. Of course, she could go a different direction with this game, but the Marvel brand does promise spectacle, and why else would they hire Hennig if they weren’t expecting that from this game?

No release date has been set for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but it is expected to launch sometime next year.

We know that the movie has been getting constant rewrites and reshoots, but one rumored plot point for the film is the discovery of the invulnerable metal Adamantium which is said to be located in the island of Tiamut.

Just in, a new look at the movie has been dropped, and it confirms that Adamantium has become a highly coveted resource—almost the same as how the MCU treats Vibranium. Check this out:

Admittedly, this is more generically action-heavy compared to previous versions of the film, but it also does give a tease for Staniel Stern a.k.a. The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) who seems to have half of his head enlarged thanks to his encounter with Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk.

He’s been missing in the universe since 2008, but a lot of people think that his emergence as the secret puppetmaster of the government could be an interesting take on Hulk villain The Leader. Who knows, maybe President Ross is just a victim in all of this when he ends up being turned into the Red Hulk.

Like a lot of fans, I’m admittedly very worried about Brave New World. Though I believe they started with a solid story, the constant reshoots and rewrites after poor test screenings may have resulted in a by-the-numbers film that barely represents the story they originally wanted to tell.

I’m still hoping Sam Wilson’s Captain America debut is a success, but as of now, fans are worried that Marvel is going to mess this one up—especially with all the hype surrounding the project.

Catch Captain America: Brave New World when it comes to cinemas on Feb. 14.

Marvel is currently pushing forward with their next Avengers movie Doomsday with returning directors the Russo Brothers, and it looks like they’ve found another MCU vet to make a return.

According to The Wrap, former Captain America Chris Evans has been cast in Doomsday. It’s not clear who Evans is playing yet, but with RDJ expected to play a completely different character, maybe the same thing could go for someone like Evans.

My speculation would be that Evans could also be playing a villain, and might be a variant of the Red Skull that works with Doom. If that was the case, maybe the main villains of Doomsday could be variants of the Avengers in the first movie, except they’re all villains.

It’s an admittedly wacky idea, but it could ‘raise the stakes’ for this new Avengers team as they take on a twisted version of their predecessors.

Then again, it’s very possible that Evans could just be playing Steve Rogers again. It would be pretty boring if he was just the same character (and kind of spoils his arc), but it would be fantastic if he was a Cap variant like the HYDRA agent Cap or the old man Steve Rogers that runs SHIELD.

Until Marvel Studios reveals anything more, all fans can really do is guess. I’ll admit, I was bummed they didn’t just recast Kang after all that build-up, but this is where the story is now, and we have no choice but to let Feige and his team cook.

Avengers: Doomsday is expected to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.

Just in, the launch date has been announced, and it comes with the gameplay reveal for buddy duo Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Check this out:

The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda is in danger! Captain America leaps into action against his age-old rival: The Winter Soldier. Assemble and answer the call, players!

As per the announcement, the game is officially going to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on December 06, 2024—just in time for the Christmas season where kids will hopefully have some money to cash in on some DLC.

Captain America had actually leaked months earlier, and her we see his official look and gameplay. While the shield being a projectile was a given, it does look like he has the Charging Star move from Marvel vs. Capcom where he just rushes the enemy with his shield.

Speaking of his shield, it looks like it can generate a force field which expands its area of effect.

As for Bucky/Winter Soldier, the game has decided to get more creative with his robot arm, allowing him to have robot tentacles—which pretty much hits his HYDRA theme. Besides the arm, it looks like he comes with a standard pistol; too bad he isn’t as armed as the Punisher when it comes to his arsenal.

Fans are only expecting this roster to keep growing down the line. Hopefully NetEase manages to keep the ball rolling for long enough. Marvel Rivals is set to launch on Dec. 6 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

As of now, people are still guessing what kind of kit Steve Rogers will have in the game, but it does look like the shield is going to function as a projectile that comes back pretty quickly. No doubt he’ll probably have moves where he rushes into people with the shield. They would also want to do something with his superhuman strength.

And though Steve may have used a gun during WWII, it’s unlikely that they’re going to give him something as a simple as a handgun for this game. Most likely he’ll have a lot of melee attacks like Thor does.

Just like Overwatch, fans are expecting the game to just keep adding characters. While there are some fan-favorites that are at the top of everyone’s list, Rivals has managed to surprise fans by adding some more obscure characters like Magik and Jeff the Land Shark.

Fingers crossed they bring in Gwenpool because she needs more mainstream love.

Marvel Rivals still has no release date, but the game is expected to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime this year.

In a recent talk with Inverse, Marvel head Kevin Feige was asked about a possible sequel, to which he replies, “There are no immediate plans for Eternals 2.” Despite this, Feige does confirm that an upcoming movie—most likely Captain America: Brave New World—is going to be addressing some events that happened in Eternals. Feige continues, “There are, and I think you’ve seen maybe in a trailer we’ve released recently, an acknowledgment of some of those events. Certain giant things came out of the ocean.”

Just in case you haven’t checked out Eternals, the movie essentially reveals that Earth is a sort of ‘egg’ for a Celestial being. The Celestial starts to break through the surface, and the Eternals manage to stop it, but there is the case of a giant celestia body left popping out of the ocean.

Rumors suggest that Brave New World will consist of the governments fighting over the dead celestial as a territory, seeing that it has a new valuable metal on it known as ‘Adamantium’—the same indestructible metal that Wolverine’s skeleton is covered in.

Admittedly, Eternals isn’t my favorite film either, but you have to commend Marvel for trying out something more experimental. If you ask me, the movie wasn’t experimental enough, and director Chloe Zhao should have really gone all out. Just look at DC’s success with their more experimental titles like Joker.

Eternals 2 won’t be coming out soon, but Captain America: Brave New World comes to cinemas on Feb. 14, 2025.

Holland: “You haven’t seen Spider-Man: Homecoming?”

Mackie: No.

*Crowd Boos*

Holland: “… I haven’t seen the Falcon movie—Oh, there isn’t one, sorry.”

*Crowd Cheers*

Now Mackie is set to be the lead of Captain America: Brave New World, and everyone still remembers the exchange with Holland back in 2021. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Mackie says about Holland,  “No. He did that on a very public stage, so I’m going to hold that till the premiere…  I’m going to make sure that Marvel makes him come to the premiere, and then I’m going to sit him next to me, and I’m going to watch him watch the movie.”

Judging by how protective Sony is to the Spider-Man character, there’s probably a very slim chance that Holland will be appearing in the movie; but with Holland himself slowing down from movies a bit, maybe he’ll have the free time to go to Mackie’s premiere next year.

With Mackie being the first hero in the MCU to have a mantle passed to him, there’s a lot of pressure for Brave New World to deliver when it hits the box office. If anything, Mackie did prove he was pretty charismatic in Falcon and the Winter Soldier; he’ll just have to channel the same charisma for the big screen.

Captain America: Brave New World is set to release in theaters on Feb. 14, 2025.

As per @cosmic_marvel, the rewrite of the character Ruth Bat-Seraph/Sabra (Shira Haas) has revealed that she is going to be a former Black Widow. The official description reads:

“A former Black Widow, Ruth is now a high-ranking U.S. government official who has the trust of President Ross.“

In the comics, Sabra was a mutant who was hired by the Israeli government to be a super soldier and intelligence agent. Besides the usual invulnerability/strength powers, Sabra was also said to have the ability to transfer her life essence to other people; but doing so, she gets weaker. She’ll have to take the powers back personally to get back to her full potential.

Admittedly, the movie is getting some ire from fans online because of the character of Sabra being a Zionist and the actress being Israeli. It’s no secret that Israel/Palestine conflict has become a very huge issue online, and the inclusion of an Israeli hero has is leading others to boycott the movie until the character is removed.

Hey guys. This account is about showing love and support to Sam Wilson & his projects. But Captain America: Brave New World includes a very problematic & controversial character in Sabra, a Zionist “hero”. She should be nowhere near this film. Boycott Marvel until she’s removed.

— Sam Wilson’s PR Manager (@capsamflyhigh) November 28, 2023

On the other hand, it’s been said that the Sabra character won’t even be called that, and with the origin change, she could very well just be another secret agent type—a Black Widow, but one that’s loyal to Ross.

https://twitter.com/BELLA_SNOWDEN/status/1811787296355811498

With Falcon and the Winter Soldier not being shy about addressing real-world politics though, everyone is sure that the inclusion of a character like Sabra is not something Marvel is taking lightly.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see till the film comes out to find out how Sabra is dealt with.

The synopsis of the film reads:

“After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.”

Though his face isn’t revealed in the trailer it does look like Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader/Samuel Sterns is the one doing the voiceover toward the end of the teaser (i.e., “global power is shifting, you’re just a pawn.”). It’s not clear, but it does look like his skin is going to be green.

There’s also a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance from the new Falcon played by Joaquin Torres. He does make an appearance in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier though, but he doesn’t sport the flight gear like he does here.

It has also been heavily rumored that the celestial body from Eternals is going to make an appearance in this movie, and it does seem that Sam is flying through the missiles, and behind him are parts of the celestial. The rumor suggests that Adamantium has been found in the contintent, and with the Red Hulk implied to have bent Captain America’s shield, it’s possible that we could get the reforged version with Adamantium by the end of the film.

Then again, that’s just a guess.

One interesting tidbit about the character of Captain America is that Steve Rogers was also born on July 4. Sam Wilson may be born around September, but he’s literally an ‘Uncle Sam’ as we discovered in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

It’s unclear why Brave New World had to undergo extensive reshoots, but word was going around that the film wasn’t considered to be action-packed enough.

Rumor has it that the movie will have something to do with Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) trying to get Sam to play ball with the government unlike Steve Rogers did, and on a bigger scope, America is going to be fighting among other countries for the territory of the dead Celestial that burst out of the ocean back in Eternals. It’s said that it contains Adamantium—and seeing as how Vibranium was able to advance the cities of Wakanda and Talocan, the world superpowers will now be fighting over another new precious resource.

Also some merchandise has leaked that the Red Hulk will also be showing up in this series, but we don’t know exactly how he’s going to factor into the story. Most likely it would have something to do with the returning Hulk villain, The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson), but we’ll just have to wait and see what the film has in store.

Captain America: Brave New World releases Feb. 14, 2025.

CanWeGetSomeToast on IG has been providing some leaks here and there, but a recent story post about Captain America: Brave New World was apparently the last straw for Marvel Studios.

According to TorrentFreak, Marvel has filed for a DMCA subpoena to sniff out who is behind the CanWeGetSomeToast account. Essentially, they want Instagram to reveal information on the user so they will be able to find out who has been behind these leaks.

https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/status/1789367324509901278

Marvel wants Instagram to reveal the name, physical address, IP address, e-mail, etc. of the person/people behind the CanWeGetSomeToast account in the hopes to finally stop these big leaks from happening. The catch though, is that it’s possible that IG could object to the demand.

Admittedly, there have been a number of leakers when it comes to Marvel and Star Wars, and CanWeGetSomeToast is just one of a few. I guess with the latest post, Marvel realized that it could be someone within the organization leaking these files without authorization; and they’ve obviously been profiting off of privileged information that they’ve been given access to.

Seeing as how huge the Marvel corporation is, everyone is thinking it’s only going to be a matter of time before CWGST gets unmasked; but admittedly Marvel is doing a slow job at promoting Cap America 4, and I don’t think these recent leak was that big a deal.

Catch Captain America: Brave New World when it hits theatres on Feb. 14, 2025.

With Marvel doing a recast before with characters like Rhodey a.k.a. War Machine, it’s said that Brave New World is also going to explain the change in Ross’ look from previous films. According to @CanWeGetToast, the exchange between Sam Wilson and Ross is going to go as follows:

‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’ will address Harrison Ford taking over as Thunderbolt Ross with a cheeky line inspired by Iron Man 2:

Sam: “I have to admit, I’m still not used to the new look.”

Ross: “Me either. They said lose the mustache or lose the election.” https://t.co/9KN2KiHOfL pic.twitter.com/jZdaavJbNd

— CanWeGetSomeToast (@CanWeGetToast) April 12, 2024

Just for a refresher, here’s the scene from Iron Man 2 which addresses the recast of Rhodey with Don Cheadle:

TONY: “Hey buddy. Didn’t expect to see you here.”
RHODEY: “Look, it’s me. I’m here. Deal with it. Let’s move on.”

If anything, I think the lines between Sam and Ross are cheekier, especially with them giving Ross a completely different look; not even attempting to give Ford the moustache or the same kind of hair. That being said, I am eager to watch infamous grump Ford try to fit in with the MCU as a character who isn’t too pleased with superheroes to begin with.

We don’t know when Marvel is going to drop the first teaser for Captain America 4, but with the release set for early 2025, it’s likely we could get something around the latter end of the year—maybe after the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.

For now, Captain America: Brave New World is set to release in theaters on Feb. 14, 2025. You can catch Sam’s journery to becoming Captain America in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier now streaming on Disney+.

We know that there was a Black Panther/Captain America game in the works for a while, but now Skydance New Media has given us our first look at the upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Check out the story trailer:

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra – In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Skydance New Media and Marvel Games share an original story where an ensemble of four heroes must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy.

The four playable characters of the game include Steve Rogers/Captain America, the Black Panther Azzuri (T’Challa’s grandfather), US soldier/Howling Commando  Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan spy Nanali.

Besides the IP, probably the biggest hook of this game is that it’s being directed by Amy Hennig, the creative director behind the first three Uncharted games. We don’t have a look at the gameplay yet, but we should expect Rise of Hydra to be a platformer/shooter with just a little bit of puzzle solving.

Hopefully we get the gameplay reveal soon, but for now, I’m just excited to enter a different era of the Marvel franchise. After the modern settings of Spider-Man and the Avengers game, I want to explore more of the IPs alternate reality.

No specific release date has been announced for Rise of Hydra, but we should expect the game to launch sometime in 2025.
