SDCC 2024: ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Takes the Stage at Marvel’s Hall H Panel

Sam Wilson flew into San Diego Comic-Con 2024 to unveil a new look at Captain America: Brave New World.

As part of Marvel Studios’ blockbuster Hall H presentation, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige took the stage with stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Giancarlo Esposito, and Tim Blake Nelson. After debuting an exclusive look at footage from the film, the cast then welcomed Harrison Ford, who makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as U.S. President Thaddeus Ross.

Mackie returns in the film as Sam Wilson, who has officially taken up the mantle of Captain America. Brave New World finds him clashing with the newly elected Ross as he races to uncover the truth behind a nefarious global plot.

“I am delighted and I am proud to become a member of the Marvel universe,” Ford told the cheering crowd. “I have been watching fantastic actors — some of which are here tonight — have a really good time working in the Marvel universe, and I wanted a piece of the action.”

Mackie also teased the film’s epic action scenes, comparing them to 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He noted that unlike Sam’s predecessor Steve Rogers, Sam lacks super powers, describing him as less of a “musclebound guy” and more of a “cerebral, thoughtful character.”

For the first time, Esposito also revealed his character in the film. The actor told the crowd that he’ll be playing Seth Voelker, aka Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society.

Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World is in theaters February 14, 2025.
