As filming progresses onCaptain America 4, all eyes from superhero fans are turning to Atlanta, Georgia to discover whatever they can about the new installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a batch of new set photos unveiled today, part ofAnthony Mackie’s new suit got revealed while the actor shot on location. The movie will represent Mackie’s character Sam Wilson’s first outing as Captain America after the events of Disney+ seriesThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier.Of course, we’re yet to get a full look and a finalized version of the outfit when the production team starts to release official content for thehighly anticipated blockbuster, but for now we can see that the new cap suit is slightly darker than the previous one and has a familiar star on the chest, while the stripes seem to have been modified. Mackie also keeps the Falcon goggles, which suggests that features from hisprevious alter egowill still be incorporated into the new suit.
One World, Several Captain Americas
The look is a departure from the mostly white outfit that was revealed inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It also differs wildly from the suit of the other Captain America, which was introduced in the series as well, and is played byWyatt Russell. As far as we know, Russell will not participate in the upcoming movie, which suggests that the conflict between the two Captain Americas will not be the focus of the sequel. Russell is, however, in the cast of the upcomingThunderboltsseries, so this plot point will be followed up in some way across 2024. And, of course, Marvel could be hiding Wyatt’s participation inCaptain America 4or putting him in a post-credits scene, all is fair game at this point.

True to Marvel fashion, the plot ofCaptain America 4is still being kept under wraps. A fair speculation is that the next installment will keep the espionage aspects of the sub-franchise going, since we’ll see the return of now-President Thaddeus Ross (now played byHarrison Ford) and Sam Wilson’s (Mackie) background is also military. In addition,Liv Tylerismaking a comebackas Betty Ross, a role she’s playing for the first time since 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk. The connections don’t stop there:Tim Blake Nelsonis also reprising hisIncredible Hulkrole as Samuel Sterns – whose transformation into a villain was teased by the end of the 2008 movie.
The expansion of the Hulk “universe” seems to be a priority of the new phases from Marvel Studios. Aside from bringing those characters back,She-Hulk: Attorney At Lawalso featured Emil Blonsky/Abomination (Tim Roth) as a major player, which sends a clear message to Marvel fans that, even thoughthe Hulkpart of the MCU is one of the least explored, the early MCU title featuring the green superhero is still very much canon.
Captain America 4is set to premiere in theaters on July 21, 2025. Check out the new look below:
