Sam Wilson is back in action this week in Atlanta, where Captain America: Brave New World has begun a series of additional photographs, with a new actor now in the cast.

Giancarlo Esposito, who had hinted for several weeks about his involvement in a Marvel Studios project, is officially on the call list in an undisclosed role, but according to sources, villainous.

Filming will last 22 days, according to internal sources. Among the added elements will be new action sequences. Julius Onah remains the director.

Brave New World has been operating under a murky veil since principal photography wrapped in spring 2023. The film, which stars Anthony Mackie as hero Sam Wilson who takes on the mantle of Captain America, has barely escaped the direct impacts of the writers’ strikes and actors. Other Marvel productions – Love at first sight*, Deadpool and Wolverine And Blade – were forced to stop or delay production, with the latter still not arriving for filming.

Even though he managed to complete principal photography before the strikes, Brave New WorldPost-production was hampered and delayed. As the actors’ strike ended in November, Marvel moved Brave New World‘s release date spans from July 26, 2024 to February 14, 2025, which gave executives time to focus on what they needed to get out of the revivals and take into account feedback from film screenings. tests. Matthew Orton, who previously worked on Marvel’s Moon Knightwas hired to work on the new pages in December, writing through the winter.

Despite reports of multiple reshoots of the film, so far this is the only one. It doesn’t appear to be as extensive as the new shots faced Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswhich lasted six weeks, nor the costly and extensive reworks endured by Wonders. In fact, one insider says Brave New World will cost significantly less than Wonders generally.

The film is a political action thriller that, at least sonically, is akin to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the 2014 film starring Chris Evans and introducing Mackie to the MCU. At this year’s Cinemacon, Marvel head Kevin Feige promised “no aliens, no alien invasions, no time travel,” before showing some footage. He also called it a “relatively solid action film.”

Also in the cast are Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez and Rosa Salazar.

Marvel, as usual, is riding a lot on the success of the film, but there is another important aspect at play. Brave New World. The film centers around a black hero donning the costume. of an iconic and well-known character, who wears and bears the symbol of the American flag. Some believe that, in terms of its power and relevance, it could have an impact similar to that of Black Panther, the Best Picture nominee in 2018 which was the first major superhero feature film led by a black cast.

Brave New World is from Disney+ 2021 The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, headlined by Mackie and which culminated with Sam Wilson taking over as Captain America.
