Captain America #2 [Exclusive Preview]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe took a slight break in 2024; the one entries have been the loosely-connected movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the “Hawkeye” spinoff present “Echo,” and the witchy Disney+ series “Agatha All Along” (together with the third and remaining season of the animated multiverse anthology “What If…?”).

However now in 2025, the MCU is hovering again in full power, beginning with “Captain America: Courageous New World.” Following on from the “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” Disney+ collection, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) has formally stepped into the position of Captain America for the franchise’s fourth movie. Sam is about to seek out himself in a global conspiracy of Hulk supporting characters, from President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (Harrison Ford), aka the Red Hulk, to the long-unseen twisted scientist Samuel Sterns/The Chief (Tim Blake Nelson).

So, in fact, it is time for film synergy. Sam is the Captain America in Jed MacKay’s “Avengers” right now (which just recruited a surprise member from Spider-Man’s corner of the world). In January 2025, the continuing “Captain America” comedian relaunched, following the departure of author J. Michael Straczynski, as “Sam Wilson: Captain America,” shifting focus from Steve Rogers over to Sam.

Co-written by Greg Pak and Evan Narcisse with Eder Messias on artwork responsibility, “Sam Wilson: Captain America” is transparently inviting comparisons to “Courageous New World” — particularly because the Crimson Hulk is guest-starring.
