The countdown has begun! Captain America: Brave New World is almost here, set to hit theaters on February 14, 2025.
As the excitement builds, we can’t help but wonder: What’s next for Sam Wilson as the new Captain America? What new allies and enemies will he face? Will this film redefine the legacy of the iconic shield? Let’s dive into the key facts you need to know before the movie hits the big screen.
1. Sam Wilson’s Journey in Captain America: Brave New World
Since Steve Rogers passed on the shield to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame, fans have been waiting to see how he would rise to the challenge.

Do you think Sam will rise to the occasion, or will the weight of the shield be too much?
2. How Captain America: Brave New World Makes Sam Wilson a Hero Without Superpowers
Unlike Steve Rogers, Sam doesn’t have the super-soldier serum enhancing his abilities. But what he does have is pure determination and grit.
