Captain America Soars In New ‘Brave New World’ Trailer

He’s the captain now!

 

Things are getting very real (and very red) in the MCU where Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) finds himself caught up in a Government conspiracy after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford).

 

Armed with thee shield and vibranium wings courtesy of the Wakandans, Wilson must uncover the reason behind a diabolical global plot before the true mastermind Hulk smashes the world to smithereens.

Check out the pulse-pounding new trailer (that premiered at the first-ever Brazil D23 fan event) below:

Without the help of the Avengers, Sam is thrusted into the dark underbelly of political corruption that begins and ends with President Ross who gets very big, very red, and very dangerous when he’s angry.

 

Directed by Julius Onah, the highly anticipated blockbuster also stars Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, and Carl Lumbly with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson.

Hinged on an intriguing dynamic between Captain America and the seemingly evil President, it’s no surprise that Mackey and his legendary co-star got along so well on set.

“What was really interesting and it shows the nature and the beauty of Harrison Ford—when he got to set, he pulled me aside, and he was like ‘Hey kid,’—and I’m 46 years old. “He goes, ‘Hey kid, this is your movie. I’m here to support you. And I’m here to make sure after this movie comes out, everyone knows your name.’ And there are a lot of people on his level that would not do that. There are a lot of people at his scale of work who would not do that,” recalled Mackey on The Playlist podcast, per Collider

“But from the first day he was on set til the last day when we wrapped, he literally treated me like I was number one. He literally let me have the set and literally walked beside me every day and showed me the respect that people would. You know, it’s still Harrison Ford.

Nobody’s like ‘Hey Harrison, get out of the way. We need Anthony,’ but he made it very clear that I was number one on the call sheet. And because of that, everybody else fell in line. So I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for him — for the way he handled himself and the way he handled the set.”
