What’s Going On With Captain America: Brave New World?

Captain America: Brave New World has undergone some big changes throughout its production, understanding why reveals Marvel’s goals for the film.

What Captain America: Brave New World Set Photos Suggest About The Movie’s Suit Story

The latestCaptain America: Brave New Worldset photosdo raise questions regarding how Sam’s old suit is factoring into the overall story. While it is unclear what the context is of the blue-and-black costume, the appearance of the outfit fromThe Falcon & The Winter Soldiercould either reveal that Sam begins the movie in his original costume, or that he returns to it later inCaptain America: Brave New World.

It is possible that it is meant to be seen as a symbolic move of Sam going on his own path, especially as he and U.S. President Ross seem to be at odd ends. It’s also possible that the reason Sam’s suit fromThe Falcon & The Winter Soldieris back is the result of some of the negative reception to the new costume that is getting introduced inCaptain America: Brave New World.

The reveal of the new suit saw complaints that it felt like the uniform fromThe Falcon & The Winter Soldierwas quickly discarded, exacerbating the view that the MCU does too many costume changes rapidly between projects. Because of that, Marvel Studios may have found an organic story reason to bring the old costume back after taking in some of the public reception.

Whatever the context will end up being, it is great to seeThe Falcon & The Winter Soldier’sCaptain America costume back in action. With it being incredibly comic book accurate, it deserves to be seen on the big-screen, especially as it has been a couple of years now since the audience last saw Sam in it. Hopefully, onceCaptain America: Brave New Worldis done with its reshoots, a trailer will finally be released by Marvel Studios.
