Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) ascension to the mantle of Captain America has been a long road. It’s been five years since Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) handed him the shield during the events ofAvengers: Endgamefollowed by a whole moral tussle in Sam’s mind duringFalcon and the Winter Soldier, we will finally see him serving as the new Cap in the next year’sCaptain America: Brave New World. The movie is packed not only with nostalgia thanks to the presence of various characters from the different corners of the MCU but a lot of action as well.
While we are a year away from the film, all the details are kept tightly under wraps but the makers are teasing bits of the movie. A new image revealed byEmpire Magazinegives us a good look at Sam as Captain America and his suit which is decked up with red, white, and blue complete with the shield and eye gears. He seems to be kneeling on the ground during a fight, while the image does not give away any plot details, it seems like Sam Wilson, will be tested to his extremes.
