Marvel showcases Sam Wilson’s new suit in the latest image from “Captain America: Brave New World.” This Marvel Studios film marks Anthony Mackie’s debut as the titular hero, following Chris Evans’ tenure as Steve Rogers. After inheriting Captain America’s shield in “Avengers: Endgame,” fans witnessed Sam’s journey in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” as he grappled with the decision of becoming the Sentinel of Liberty. While previous glimpses of the suit have emerged through set photos and merchandise, this official image unveils a fresh perspective.
The image from *Captain America: Brave New World*, courtesy of Empire Magazine, depicts Sam Wilson in a crouch, wielding his Adamantium shield. His costume features an increased amount of blue on the shirt, departing from the red-white-and-blue stripes seen in *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier*. Furthermore, the headpiece from the Disney+ series has been removed, which Anthony Mackie previously criticized for its cumbersome design and reliance on special effects for adjustments.
