The primary official have a look at the fourth Captain America film, Captain America: Courageous New World, is right here. A teaser trailer dropped Friday morning and, in typical Marvel style, it’s full of hints and clues as to what audiences can anticipate when the movie hits theaters February 14, 2025. With Steve Rogers off… someplace, Anthony Mackie formally takes on the mantle of Cap; he stars alongside Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson, nearly all of whom we see within the trailer.
Listed below are the 13 most fascinating issues we observed within the trailer.
Thaddeus Ross recast
Not solely is Harrison Ford making his MCU debut within the movie, he’s taking on the position of Thaddeus Ross. Ross has been round his 2008’s The Unbelievable Hulk however was performed by William Damage till his passing in 2022. That’s why Sam makes the joke about his “new look” and Ross explains why he doesn’t have a mustache anymore.
A brand new Black Widow
The trailer provides us just a few fast glimpses of a brand new character performed by Shira Haas. Named Ruth, she’s believed to be the Marvel character Sabra. On this world, she’s a former member of the Black Widow program who now works with Ross for the U.S. authorities.
A brand new baddie
Legendary actor Giancarlo Esposito seems just a few occasions within the trailer as what seems to be a villain. The rumor is he’s taking part in a personality named George Washington Bridge, however that’s unconfirmed in the meanwhile.
Eternals island
One of many greatest rumors this trailer confirms is that the island left on the finish of Eternals (bear in mind when the large celestial Tiamut mainly freezes on Earth?) will play a task right here. You see it just a few occasions within the background of pictures, just like the missiles firing early within the trailer, then once more later.
Isaiah triggered
You solely get a glimpse of it right here however within the movie, Isaiah (Carl Lumbly)—who we first met in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier—has some deep-seated code triggered which causes him to unwillingly go on a rampage attempting to kill the president. This, in fact, is paying homage to what Sam and Steve’s buddy Bucky had occur to him.
Lab experiments
In all probability leaping off that Isaiah stuff, we see Sam investigating some type of lab. Our guess is that this hyperlinks to whoever was in a position to set off Isaiah. Plus, labs on this planet of Captain America are all the time essential.
A number of Captain America fits
The trailer options a minimum of two, and perhaps extra, Captain America fits. We see the one above, which seems to be the one Sam had on the finish of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, in addition to the bluer one in different scenes. Our guess is which means this scene is from early within the film.
The Chief returns
One of many extra fascinating issues about Courageous New World is the way it’s tying again to the second MCU movie: The Unbelievable Hulk. Thaddeus Ross is on this, in fact, as are Liv Tyler (who doesn’t seem on this trailer) and Tim Blake Nelson; he performs Samuel Sterns, aka the Chief. He seems briefly, as seen above, and can also be the one talking about how “international energy is shifting.” Talking of which…
World Unity Summit
Because the Chief talks about how “international energy is shifting” we see that Sam, Ross, and others are at an occasion referred to as the World Unity Summit. Looks like a superb place to shift that unity, does it not?
Xosha Roquemore
One other new character seems briefly within the trailer. It seems to be a Secret Service agent who we see alongside Haas’ Ruth character. This girl is performed by actress Xosha Roquemore in her MCU debut.
DC destruction
The MCU has leveled many, many cities earlier than, however Captain America: Courageous New World would be the first to stage Washington DC. We are able to see this by, clearly, the pictures of the White Home being destroyed (probably by a personality talked about beneath) and the destruction amongst one of many metropolis’s signature photos: the cherry blossoms.
A brand new Falcon
It’s solely in there tremendous briefly, however there’s a shot of Sam’s Captain America flying alongside one other character. That is the brand new Falcon, Joaquín Torres performed by Danny Ramirez, making his large debut because the hero.
Pink Hulk, duh
The most important, and most evident, reveal within the trailer is that Courageous New World does, in actual fact, have the Pink Hulk in it—a personality we assume is definitely Thaddeus Ross. However is he a buddy to Sam Wilson? Or a foe? We simply don’t know but.
Captain America: Courageous New World opens February 14.
