On August 17, 2011, Chris Evans made his Captain America debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And with very relative success, suggesting the character had no potential on this side of the Atlantic. But Steve Rogers later managed to fool us by becoming one of the MCU’s most interesting heroes, with Endgame offering a compelling conclusion.

And then ? In the comics, the title and shield of Captain America passed through many hands, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe did the same in the series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, at the end of which Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) officially became Steve’s successor. Rogers. And he’ll soon be headlining his fourth solo film, titled New World Order.

when is it published?

As announced at San Diego Comic-Con last July, the French release of Captain America: New World Order is scheduled for May 1, 2024 in our cinemas. Accordingly, it will be part of Phase V, which Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has just begun. And the chosen slot suggests that this is a film in which Marvel Studios has high expectations, since it is in these waters that all the Avengers, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness or even Civil War have come out. .

who realizes

Enter Joe Johnston, director of the first Opus, which TMC will be rebroadcasting this Monday, February 20. The same goes for Joe and Anthony Russo, who made The Winter Soldier and Civil War before The Avengers were there and then wanted to take a breather.

If it was long believed that Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman would continue the story he oversaw for six episodes, he would end up writing only with Dalan Musson, who worked with him on the show. And it was Julius Ona (The Cloverfield Paradox) who was offered the post of director.

Who will play in it?

Of course, Anthony Mackie, who will use his shield on the big screen. But a priori, Bucky without “Winter Soldier” Barnes (Sebastian Stan) was required on the side of Thunder, to which the New World Order must send some bridges (but we’ll get to that later). Isaiah Bradley, the first African-American super soldier featured in the Disney+ series, will also be there as Carl Lumble. Just like Danny Ramirez, in Joaquin Torres, called to become the new Falcon.

Still in the comeback category, but much more unexpected: Tim Blake Nelson’s. In an absence from the MCU following his role in The Incredible Hulk, the O’Brother actor finds his character Samuel Stearns, a cell biologist called upon to become a super-villain leader, after being exposed to gamma rays that affect another character who returns as well , but a new face.

After the death of William Hart, who played him after The Incredible Hulk, it was Harrison Ford who took over the role of Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross. who transforms into his giant and angry alter ego: the Red Hulk. In this movie or in Thunderbolts, we don’t know yet, but the idea intrigues many people, including his future partners, who laugh at the idea of ​​him wearing a performance capture suit with sensors like table tennis balls.

Finally, note that on the newcomer side, the unorthodox mini-series revealed Shira Hass will play Israeli superheroine Sabra (who could be a Mossad agent in the story). and that Xosha Roquemore (The Mindy Project) will play a yet-to-be-revealed role.

what will it be

As is often the case, the synopsis of a Marvel movie remains unclear for some time. And Captain America: The New World Order is no exception. But it’s already confirmed that the script will be a continuation of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and will revolve around a transfer of power between Steve and Sam, in a world that has changed in more ways than one. .

THE “New World Order” which serves as the subtitle of this adventure, then may indicate several things. The fact that Captain America is now black is a recurring theme in the series, and Sam is dealing with his new status and the state of African-Americans in his country. The new world will also be a post-game world as the Avengers search for their new leaders and Kang’s threat looms large in the universe.

And it may, after all, be about the fact that the United States is now ruled by a man who can transform into a red monster. If he’s just the Secretary of State in the comics, Thaddeus Ross will be the President here, and having Harrison Ford in the role would be a nice compliment to the role he played on Air Force One.

He might be the one to found the Thunderbolts, with the help of Valentina de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who was discovered at the head of the CIA in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. A group of anti-heroes sent on secret missions and who will have their own movie a few months later on July 24th.

And there’s no doubt that Captain America: New World Order , taking place on the more down-to-earth side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, away from multiverse stories, could be important to this feature film. What about the rest of Phase V?
