There was Thanos, whose Avengers ended up triumphant and invited every hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Iron Man came out. Since then, the characters have faced two more unexpected enemies: Covid, which stopped the world (cinema, but not only) in 2020, then the strike of screenwriters and actors, which slowed down a large number of productions in Hollywood. .

including those from Marvel Studios. And in particular, Blade, which collects false starts, Thunderbolts, Deadpool 3 and even Captain America 4. The first feature film in the franchise, directed by Anthony Mackie, the film has also been delayed. But here’s what we know about it while we wait for pictures of it.

Release date: When is Captain America 4 coming out? where can i see

In the fall of 2022, Disney actually issued a threat: Black Panther 2 would miss French cinemas unless the media timeline was changed to allow them to add their films to the platform more quickly from the studio. A blow of pressure and bluff, which fortunately came to nothing, and Marvel’s opus are still destined for French cinemas.

Directed by Julius Ona (The Cloverfield Paradox) and titled “Brave New World” after calling “New World Order”Captain America 4 should not be an exception. And its release, previously scheduled for May 2024, will now take place on July 24 of the same year. Subject to further calendar change.

Starring: Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford… Who is playing in Captain America 4?

Anthony Mackie, of course. Possessing the Star Shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, he will be using it on the big screen for the first time since appearing in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But Apriori, without his friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), was also requisitioned. Thunderstorm to which Brave New World must build some bridges.

Isaiah Bradley, the first African-American super soldier to appear in the Disney+ series in 2021, will also be there as Carl Lumble. Just like Danny Ramirez, aka Joaquin Torres, called to become the new Falcon.

Another return, much more unexpected: the return of Tim Blake Nelson. In an absence from the MCU following his role in The Incredible Hulk, the O’Brother actor will return to his character Samuel Stearns, a cell biologist dubbed the super-villain leader after being exposed to gamma rays. Which will affect another character that also returns. But a new face.

After the death of William Hart, who played him after The Incredible Hulk, Harrison Ford took on 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 when they imagine him wearing a performance-capture suit with sensors that look like ping-pong balls.

And finally, note that on the new side, the mini-series reveals that extraordinaire Shira Haas will play Israeli superheroine Sabra (who may be a Mossad agent in the story). and that Xosha Roquemore (The Mindy Project) will play a yet-to-be-revealed role.

Plot: What will Captain America 4 be about?

As is often the case, the synopsis of a Marvel movie has remained unclear for some time. And Captain America: Brave New World is no exception. But it is already confirmed that the script will be a continuation of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and revolves around the transfer of power between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Sam, in a world that has changed more than one title.

Speaking of the title: “New World Order” Could refer to a number of things, including the fact that Captain America is now black. A theme already seen in the series as Sam struggled with his new status and the condition of African Americans in his country.

Or the status of the United States, 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 the fact that he’s in the role of Harrison Ford makes it possible for him to kiss the one who played Air Force One pretty well.

But the new title of Captain America 4, “Brave New World”directs it to a more literary terrain, since it refers to “Brave New World” By Aldous Huxley. One of the most famous science fiction novels (dystopian variant).

A story that focuses on a futuristic and eugenic society, highly hierarchical, divided into various castes, whose individuals, artificially conceived, are conditioned biologically and psychologically to ensure the stability and continuity of the system.

Or what Steve Rogers should have been like in the eyes of his superiors, like in The Winter Soldier or Civil War. That’s why Brave New World has to take on the main themes, with Sam Wilson in the hero suit. And this idea of ​​biological change to preserve the established order is probably what leads Thaddeus Ross to become the Red Hulk.

In this feature film or Thunderbolts, DC’s equivalent of Suicide Squad for Marvel, its release has been pushed back to December 2024 as production has been halted due to a writers and actors strike. It remains only to wait for the first pictures to find out what it will actually be about.
