At a time when many planned productions are getting postponed due to the ongoing writers strike, the fourth Captain America movie has just wrapped filming. The news was announced by Kramer Morgenthau, who serves as cinematographer on Captain America: Brave New World. Taking to Instagram, Morgenthau shared an image of the slate used for the project bearing the movie’s logo along with his name and that of director Julius Onah. The cinematographer also noted how the project had wrapped filming by simply writing the word, “Wrap.”
This will be the fourth Captain America movie, but it’s the first that won’t be following Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. The Captain America title has been passed on to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), as seen in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. After that show concluded in 2021, it was announced that Mackie would be leading a Captain America film. Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, who’d worked on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, penned the screenplay for Captain America: Brave New World. Onah was announced as director in 2022.
Initially, the movie was announced with the title of Captain America: New World Order. Along with the natural comparisons to the pro wrestling faction of the 1990s, the name was considered controversial in some ways due to how it’s been used in politics and conspiracy theories. Possibly for these reasons, the title of the film was later changed to Captain America: Brave New World during production.
Anthony Mackie Now Wields the Shield
While Mackie’s Sam Wilson is not your average human, he’s still human, and not someone with superpowers. That makes him different from most of the other Marvel superheroes in the MCU. Mackie has teased how Wilson’s humanity is, in a way, his superpower.
“I think with my Cap, he’s not a superhero,” Mackie said in a Yahoo interview. “He doesn’t have a super serum, so his superpower is his humanity…[He] has to come to the stage with a very different understanding of what it is to be a good guy, or be a bad guy, and what are the decisions that make you toe that line in the way that you do? I just see him as more of a humane Cap, as opposed to a Cap of judgment, where ‘this is right, and this is wrong.’ There are decisions that make you choose right or wrong.”
The movie will also notably bring Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Harrison Ford into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he’s taking over the role of Thunderbolt Ross following the passing of William Hurt, who previously played the role in the MCU. Along with Mackie and Ford, Captain America: Brave New World also stars Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, Liv Tyler, and WWE Superstar Seth Rollins.
Filming has been completed, but it will take a while longer for the post-production process to be finished. Captain America: Brave New World is scheduled to be released in movie theaters on July 26, 2024.
