Marvel's latest Captain America: Brave New World trailer, unveiled at Brazil's D23 fan event, showcases an epic showdown between Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross-turned-Red Hulk.
The gripping footage opens with Wilson visiting Isaiah Bradley in prison before revealing Ford's President Ross preparing for war.
There is no background music in this stripped-down trailer, and that makes the intense combat scenes more powerful, with Mackie's vibranium suit and shield "working overtime," as one fan put it.
The gritty political thriller tone marks a departure from typical Marvel fare, with fans praising its stripped-down, serious approach.
Fans particularly praised the raw dialogue, with lines like "Captain America caught without his wings" drawing widespread appreciation.
Highlights include Mackie in the full Captain America suit, Danny Ramirez's new Falcon in action, and the much-anticipated Red Hulk transformation. The trailer hints at deeper political intrigue beyond the surface-level conflict.
The release sparked playful references to Tom Holland's past teasing of Mackie about never getting his own Marvel movie. "Tom Holland can't say Anthony never got his own movie now," one fan quipped.
Set for a February 14 release, it seems to be generating the kind of buzz Marvel hasn't seen in ages, with viewers particularly excited about the climactic showdown between Captain America and Red Hulk.
