Captain America: Brave New World – What You Need to Know!
By Your Favorite Comedy Avengers: Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans
Well, strap in, folks! Or, you know, fasten your seatbelts—unless you’re already a superhero, of course. We’re diving headfirst into the vibrant world of Captain America: Brave New World, where our titular hero is no longer that grumpy bloke named Steve Rogers. Instead, we’ve got Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, flapping his way into the role. Who knew that after flapping around in a fancy bird costume, he’d be trading in his wings for a shiny new star-spangled shield? Honestly, if I were him, I’d make a run to John Lewis for a nice watch first, just to remind everyone he’s still got time to save the world.
Meet the New Wingman!
But wait, who’s this? Enter Joaquin Torres, played by none other than Danny Ramirez! This guy better not just be an alternate suit-holder; I mean, we are still trying to figure out how many sidekicks a single Captain can have! Is there a limit, or are we throwing conformity out the window along with the last few Marvel plot lines? Who knows, maybe we’ll see a bustling superhero commune next!
In a delightful image shared by Empire, we see Torres running alongside Wilson, sporting a green and gray jumpsuit reminiscent of… well, let’s just say it’s different! No red and gray for our wingman? Oh no, he’s elevating the superhero fashion game—because when you’re running around saving the world, looking sharp can make all the difference. Just ask any hipster!
The Dynamic Duo
Director Julius Onah weighed in on the action, promising a “big brother/little brother” dynamic between the two characters. Now, that’s a premise ripe for comedic gold! Seriously, if they don’t break into a sibling-style argument at least once, it will be a missed opportunity. Can you imagine Captain America declaring a pasta night just to keep things ‘team-building’? Talk about superhero therapy!
For those keeping score, Joaquin is not just some random dude; he’s an ex-Air Force buddy of Sam’s, having made his debut in the thrillingly intense series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. You know, the one where they tried to explain that America has a lot of heroes but an equally massive amount of paperwork!
Star-Studded Ensemble
This film promises more than just wings and spandex! Get ready to see some faces you might recognize: Harrison Ford is reprising his role as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross—because, as we know, the line “Show me the money!” still holds up, even if there’s a giant green guy in the way! Liv Tyler returns as Betty, giving us some serious nostalgia vibes. And if you thought the world of Marvel was only getting bigger, brace yourself for Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns, aka the Leader. That’s right, kids, he’s been having a rather enlightening time since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk! I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a good comeback story?
But wait, it doesn’t end there! We’ve also got Giancarlo Esposito stepping in to put a villainous twist on things with his portrayal of Sidewinder. You know things are serious when every villain has an intriguing backstory that almost sounds like they’d make great dinner guests… if they weren’t trying to take over the world!
When Is It Coming?
Mark your calendars, folks! Captain America: Brave New World is set to grace our screens on February 12, 2025. That gives you all plenty of time to work on your superhero poses and perhaps munch on kale while pondering the deeper meaning of life and capes!
Now, while we await the release, let’s kick back with the most recent trailer in Italian. Because who wouldn’t want to see Captain America with a side of pasta and charm? Just think of it as cultural immersion—while we wait to discover if they can truly save the world… and the script!
