Anthony Mackie, who was previously The Falcon, steps up to the plate and takes over as Captain America in this standalone movie.
After accepting the title of Captain America in the 2021 TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson finally leads his first Captain America movie.
Wilson, who was previously Captain America’s sidekick The Falcon, is still wrestling with the responsibility of his new role and wonders if he deserves it, particularly as he’s not a super soldier like his predecessor Steve Rogers.
He gets the opportunity to test his worthiness when he and the now-U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford, replacing the late William Hurt) become involved in an international incident that could potentially start a new war over the powerful metal adamantium.
Marvel’s fatal flaw here was expecting fans to remember every character and plot point that’s ever happened in the MCU in the previous 34 films (not to the mention the TV shows).
It’s hard enough to remember what happened in The Falcon and the Winter...
