This article contains spoilers for Captain America: Brave New World.
“Captain America: Brave New World” is not Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) the first rodeo as Captain America. He began using the title of Malcolm Spellman’s 2021 Disney+ show, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and established his place primarily as a new cap when the film began. Sam has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since “Captain America: Winter Soldier” (2014) and his Captain America origin story has already been told, so the film uses some of the saved time. You can afford to set up more than one different MCU hero team.
The first team-themed news is a long-awaited confirmation that a new Avengers Pack is coming. All People’s Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” President Ross (Harrison Ford) is the man who suggests that Captain America should bring together new incarnations of the MCU’s major super team. Sam initially hesitates to accept the task, but he comes too. By the end of the film, he accepted that he deserved the Captain America title and soon recruited the current Falcon, his first avenger, Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez).
“Brave New World” isn’t too clear about bullying other major teams, but it doesn’t bother to hide X-Men references either. Adamantium – The Bone of Metal-Coated Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) – plays an important role in this film. By the time a reporter can hear him talking about “The Brave New World of Adamantium,” it is easy to suspect that the subtitles of the film “The Brave New World” are at stake in the rise of MCU mutants. There are also other despicable X-Men nods. Particularly, some of Isaiah Bradley’s (Carl Rumble)’s brainwashing White House Rampage appears suspiciously similar to Night Crawler’s (Alan Comeming) attack at the beginning of “X2: X-Men United.”
The Avengers are here…and so are the X-Men (at some point)
Of course, we know well that the Avengers are about to reassemble, but we know that “who,” “when,” and especially “how” are in the air. Marvel Can actor Jonathan Majer was found guilty of harassment and assault in 2023, and the MCU had already dropped him at that point. Eventually, Robert Downey Jr. was cast as Doctor Doom, and 2026’s “Avengers: Can Dynasty” was remade into “Avengers: Dome Day,” setting up a prosperity course near the Avengers, and opening the doors I opened the door (for several versions). Back together an old band.
Meanwhile, since the Disney-Fox acquisition was completed in 2019, the X-Men has been closer to the MCU. The mutants were gradually beginning to advance into franchises, and their appearance became more and more prominent. Until now, Namor (Tenok Fuerta) and Marvel (Iman Verani) are probably the most prominent trait mutants in the major MCU universe, but from Wolverine to Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Beast (Kelsey Grammer) The legendary X-Men has been hiding in various timelines for a while. The new X-Men for “Captain America: Brave New World” only further strengthens the notion that the official Mutant Super-Team debut could be closer than we think.
The brave new world post-credit scene could also affect the third super team
If you pay attention to the post-credit scenes of “Captain America: Brave New World” and are up to date with both Marvel lore and upcoming MCU projects, then you’ll find ominous about the superheroes of Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) Words may notice that the various worlds that need to fight for their presence tease the arrival of another superscade into the main MCU universe. The upcoming events described by Sterns are almost certainly adaptations of Marvel Comics’ 2015 “Secret Wars” crossover event, where people with different Earth superpowers will sacrifice enemy timelines to save the universe We have to face off to do so.
In Sterns’ words, there’s a proper title for 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars” (and possibly “Avengers: Doomsday”), but it’s interesting as the MCU is about to introduce a third major super team. : Fantastic Four. “Fantastic Four: First Step” (2025) is explicitly made in an alternative timeline. So, the “secret war” event seems like the MCU’s best bet to contact Marvel’s first family with other heroes, but also that the franchise is completely invited to do so. is.
Captain America: Brave New World is currently in theaters.
