![]() ![]() ![]() You have to hand it to them: They've made it through 31 movies and countless TV episodes without any reboots, remakes or re-castings (with one notable exception).Īccording to the Marvel Studios executives at this year's San Diego Comic Con, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will wrap up "phase four" of the franchise, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will begin " phase five" (whatever that means). ![]() But whatever you do, you can't keep the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) down. You can put it through the wringers of the multiverse. You can snap half of it out of existence. It's a much better way of honoring Evans' character than bringing him back, allowing Captain America: New World Order to focus on Sam Wilson as he continues Steve Rogers' legacy with nothing to distract from Sam's story.You can send it extra-terrestrial threats. However, since Sam is getting a new Captain America costume in New World Order, it makes sense to use it as a way to honor Steve Rogers' legacy while still putting a new spin on it. Whatever the reason for Sam to ditch the white costume, it's a shame considering it was much closer to the character's costume in the comics - and was tied to his journey in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Since it's unknown why Sam gets this new Captain America costume, it's impossible to know how intentional that is, but the suit change will no doubt be addressed in New World Order. That said, the costume's design does appear to be an homage to the many suits worn by Steve Rogers as it much more closely resembles the stealth suit and the Avengers: Age of Ultron suit. Aside from the color scheme, it also has shoulder plates and spots for his wings, so it's clearly a new suit. Sam Wilson's blue Captain America suit isn't an exact replica of one worn by Steve Rogers - it's neither the stealth suit nor the red, white and blue suits worn by Steve in any of the Avengers movies. Even if it were to be a surprise cameo, the post-release hype might focus too much on Evans' return rather than Sam Wilson's first Captain America adventure. If it were to be revealed prior to the movie's release, it would entice viewers to see New World Order, but risks detracting from selling Sam Wilson as the new Captain America. Evans' Captain America held the title for more than a decade, and he's beloved by many - both in the MCU and in the real world - so any kind of return would be extremely exciting. If Evans' Steve Rogers were to return, even in a small cameo, it might distract too much from Sam Wilson, who is meant to be the focus of New World Order. As such, it's incredibly important for Marvel, the writers and the director on Captain America: New World Order to establish Sam Wilson's Captain America as a leading hero in his own right. He's set to be the first of the legacy characters to headline his own movie without an appearance from the character whose mantle he's taking over. Sam Wilson is the first true test of how well the MCU can pull off using its legacy characters as replacements for original members of the Avengers. This works as a way of visually passing the torch from Steve to Sam in Captain America 4. Sam Wilson's new Captain America costume still has certain red accents, on his boots and wrist guards, but the design is much closer to the suits Steve Rogers wore than the one that debuted in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That suit dropped red entirely from its design, instead featuring a blue tactical suit with white accents, like the star and stripes on his chest. In particular, it looks like the stealth suit Steve Rogers wore while working for SHIELD in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Sam still has shoulder pieces that look like attachments for his wings, but the new Captain America costume for New World Order looks a lot more like those worn by Steve Rogers. flag's red and white stripes on the abdomen, but the chest and shoulder area appear to be slimmer and more blue than white. There are still red accents resembling the U.S. Sam Wilson's new Captain America costume as revealed in Captain America 4 set photos has a much different design, with navy blue being the dominant color rather than white. ![]()
