New footage from ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ has Marvel fans buzzing thanks to an Easter egg tying directly to the technology seen in Black Panther. The latest sneak peek promises intense action in the film.
It highlights Sam Wilson’s enhanced abilities as he steps fully into the role of Captain America. Moreover, it also provides an explanation for how Sam is able to withstand Red Hulk’s blow.
Purple Light Spotted In ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Linked To Black Panther’s Suit
In a recently revealed TV spot for ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, fans caught a glimpse of Sam Wilson’s upgraded wings harnessing a familiar purple hue during a battle with the Red Hulk. In the scene, Sam is hurled into a line of cars by Thunderbolt Ross’s rampaging alter ego.
However, unlike ever seen before, his wings emit a glowing purple energy that intensifies with every blow. This energy appears to be a direct callback to the kinetic energy absorption technology seen in T’Challa’s suit from ‘Black Panther’. Developed by Shuri, the suit had the remarkable ability to absorb impacts and channel them into powerful counterattacks.
The similarities between T’Challa’s suit and Sam’s wings strongly suggest that the Wakandan scientists have incorporated this technology into Sam’s new gear. Additionally, this gives Sam a much-needed crucial edge in his battles.
Wakandan Tech Explains How Sam Wilson Stands Up To The Red Hulk
The inclusion of Wakandan tech in Sam Wilson’s wings offers a plausible explanation for how he can hold his own against the sheer force of the Red Hulk. Thunderbolt Ross, after undergoing his gamma-fueled transformation, is depicted as an unstoppable powerhouse.

So, a character like Sam, who lacks superhuman strength or durability, would traditionally be outmatched. However, the kinetic energy absorption ability changes the dynamic entirely. Just as T’Challa’s suit could withstand powerful blows, Sam’s wings now appear capable of doing the same.
Now, each time the Red Hulk hurls him into cars or the ground, the energy of the impact would be stored within the wings. Moreover, this would allow Sam to unleash a devastating counterattack and level the playing field.
