Marvel Studios is gearing up for the release of ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, which will see Anthony Mackie take center stage as Sam Wilson, the new Captain America.
However, unlike Steve Rogers, Sam won’t be enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, making his journey even more compelling. The film promises to showcase intense action sequences with a touch of realism.
Sam Wilson Will Be A Different Kind Of Captain America
One of the most interesting aspects of Sam Wilson’s Captain America is his humanity. Unlike Steve, he isn’t a super soldier. He’s just a man with exceptional skills, intelligence, and an unwavering sense of duty. This sets him apart and makes his version of Captain America a unique and inspiring figure.

Anthony Mackie himself has expressed excitement about the challenges of portraying a Captain America who fights purely on skill. “Sam is every man’s Captain America. The idea of him just being a regular guy that’s been thrust into this position of leadership is something that we all can identify with,” he told Comicbook.
Marvel’s decision to keep Sam Wilson without the Super Soldier Serum reinforces that heroism isn’t just about physical power. Throughout his journey in the MCU, Sam has proven that he doesn’t need enhancements to be a leader. Moreover, this choice also opens the door for more grounded and intense fight sequences.
Anthony Mackie Wants Captain America To Fight Juggernaut
As ‘Brave New World’ sets the stage for Sam Wilson’s Captain America, Anthony Mackie already has ideas for future battles. One name at the top of his list is Juggernaut. In a recent interview, the actor revealed his desire to see Captain America take on the unstoppable X-Men villain in a future project.

“I would really like to get some of those X-Men villains, I want the whole Juggernaut crew,” he said. “Not because they’re the best villains, but because their powers, head-to-head with my power, would make for an interesting fight.” With the X-Men slowly being introduced into the MCU, this matchup isn’t outside the realm of possibility.
Additionally, fans of the comics know that Juggernaut’s sheer size and brute force make him one of the toughest opponents any hero can face. Seeing a non-enhanced Captain America go up against an unstoppable force like Juggernaut would be interesting, to say the least.
