"All I'll say is, right now my heart and soul is in this film, but I think this is a movie that cements Captain America and Sam Wilson as our new Captain America, as a leader of the Avengers going forward. So I'm just really excited about getting this out in the world," Onah said.
Brave New World
Sam Wilson was entrusted with Captain America’s mantle at the end of Avengers: Endgame but only fully accepted the role during the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
In Brave New World, Captain America must uncover the conspiracy behind the attempted assassination of newly elected US President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford. Trailers suggest that Ross will transform into Red Hulk at some point, setting up a high-stakes showdown with Captain America.
