Our fingers are crossed hoping Marvel stops their drift into Woke stupidity. They have a chance at redemption once again after Deadpool’s success.
With the overwhelming success of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine,” there’s a palpable anticipation surrounding the next big Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) release, “Captain America: Brave New World,” set to debut in February 2025. However, there seems to be a cautious approach from Disney, as they are revealing more details about the film than usual, perhaps to drum up excitement and confidence among fans. This strategy was evident during San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), where new footage and critical information were shared.

The upcoming film, starring Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, promises a return to the more “grounded” narrative style reminiscent of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which was released in 2014. This approach marks a shift from the recent cosmic and multiversal storylines, focusing instead on more earthbound and tangible threats.
One of the most intriguing revelations involves Harrison Ford’s character, President Ross, who addresses the existence of the giant Celestial left in the ocean since “Eternals.” This Celestial, it turns out, is composed of Adamantium, a significant element in the Marvel universe, particularly associated with Wolverine. The discovery of this rare metal sets off an “arms race,” with various factions vying to control its powerful potential beyond just its use in Wolverine’s skeleton. This narrative thread is expected to tie into broader MCU storylines, potentially hinting at the future introduction of the X-Men.
Another exciting update is the casting of Giancarlo Esposito, known for his compelling performances in series like “Breaking Bad.” Esposito will portray Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society. This villainous group has deep roots in Marvel comics, often serving as mercenaries for hire to other villains like HYDRA and Kingpin. In “Brave New World,” they appear to be aligned with The Leader, another notorious character from the Marvel universe. The Serpent Society is known for its members’ snake-themed abilities, and it will be interesting to see how these powers are adapted for the big screen.

Esposito’s Sidewinder character brings an additional layer of mystery, as the actor has mentioned he is playing an “original” character. This statement leaves fans curious about whether he will portray Seth Voelker, the original Sidewinder with teleportation powers, or a new iteration created for the MCU. This blend of established lore and fresh takes keeps the storyline unpredictable and engaging.
Key Points:
i. Disney is cautiously optimistic about “Captain America: Brave New World,” revealing more details to boost interest.
ii. The film revisits the grounded style of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” focusing on earthbound threats.
iii. Harrison Ford’s President Ross reveals the giant Celestial from “Eternals” is made of Adamantium, sparking an arms race.
iv. Giancarlo Esposito plays Sidewinder, leader of the Serpent Society, a villain group with snake-themed powers.
v. The inclusion of Adamantium and the Serpent Society hints at future MCU developments, including potential X-Men connections.
