Assuming the movie isn't delayed again, Marvel fans will see Sam Wilson's theatrical debut as Captain America next year. After Steve Rogers got his happily ever after in the finale End gamethe Russo Brothers set up Anthony Mackie's Wilson to take up the mantle, presumably starting a new era for the character.
Unfortunately, it's now abundantly clear that Marvel has no confidence in the new Captian America character. You can tell based on how long it took to develop his solo film and recent reports of Chris Evans returning to the MCU.
Clear signs that Marvel doesn't trust Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson
Why are we so confident that Marvel has no real faith in Sam Wilson to replace Steve Rogers as Captain America? First, it's simple math: As of this writing, it has now been five and a half years since this new figure took over the role of America's most famous defender. We still haven't seen it Captain America 4 (Current address Captain America: Brave New World), but at the same time, marvel Fully released Triple From Steve Rogers movies.
Sure, we got a TV show focusing on Sam Wilson, but he didn't appear in it as Captain America. The show felt like an extended introduction to Captain America 4. However, this film has been postponed several times, and there are reports that the latest delay was due to poor test screenings and the need for reshoots. If these reports are true, they serve as proof (not that we need more) that Marvel doesn't know what to do with its most popular character.
Marvel isn't sure it wants Sam Wilson to become Captain America
Speaking of famous faces, Marvel seems unsure if they want audiences to associate Sam Wilson and Captain America. It is said, Chris Evans He will return to the MCU in the next film Avengers: Doomsday. Although we are pretty confident that he will be playing the role of the Beyonder (a main character from the comics) instead of Captain America, he… Wild To think that Marvel would bring back the original Cap actor so soon after the theatrical premiere of Wilson's Cap.
The strangest thing about Marvel's lack of confidence is that it's unfounded: Anthony Mackie is a great actor and is likely to dazzle as much as Captain America as he did as the Falcon. Good acting doesn't always mean good writing, but with the right script, Captain America 4 He could single-handedly end the modern phenomenon of superhero fatigue.
Disney Executives seem reluctant to let him fly. Instead of an entire trilogy of Wilson Cap films, the studio is taking a long time to get a movie made One movie They head out while actively making plans to sabotage Maki by bringing back the famous actor who originated the role.
As for us, we're crossing our fingers for Captain America 4. Multiple delays and reported reshoots could result in a better movie, and it's somewhat reassuring that Disney doesn't want to rush a bad movie. But the longer it takes Sam Wilson to make his theatrical debut as Captain America, the more his character seems to be disrespected and rejected by one of the biggest studios in the world.
Forget villains like Zemo. It turns out that the biggest enemy holding our heroes back is the studio responsible for their cinematic creativity. Until someone is defeated theySuperhero fatigue is here to stay.
