How Captain America 4 Will Follow The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
This article contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Talk about timing! With the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+, Marvel wasted no time in revealing the next project that will spotlight Anthony Mackieā€™s newly minted Captain America. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman is co-writing a currently-untitled Captain America 4 with another FWS alum, Dalan Musson. Thereā€™s no director attached, and no other details available just yet, but it does raise some interesting possibilities right out of the gate.
For starters, this probably puts the kibosh on our hopes for a traditional The Falcon and the Winter Soldier season 2 (or, more accurately, Captain America and the Winter Soldier). On the one hand, thatā€™s kind of a shame, because the Disney+ TV format allows more freedom and nuance than a traditional big screen outing does. On the other, itā€™s great that Disney and Marvel Studios want to give Anthony Mackie the headlining slot on a blockbuster like Captain America 4, especially after seeing him suit up in that truly awesome new Captain America suit at the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

But considering how The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ended, as well as some of the other information thatā€™s out there in the world right now about Marvelā€™s plans, there are a few possibilities about what form Captain America 4 could end up taking.
The Rise of Sam Wilson as Captain America
The final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showed not just how Sam finally accepted the mantle and responsibilities of the red, white, and blue, but also how his first public outing was perfectly suited to getting the public to accept him as the new Captain America. Samā€™s first full adventure as Cap came in the pages of All-New Captain America by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen, which saw him face off against Baron Zemo, Baron Blood, Batroc (thatā€™s a whole lot of Bs), and a resurgent Hydra. Thatā€™s certainly a colorful enough roster to populate a blockbuster movie.
The MCUā€™s Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) is, of course, destined to return to bedevil our heroes in thought-provoking ways soon enough. Might he be one of the villains of Captain America 4? Wellā€¦that dependsā€¦
Captain America vs. the Thunderbolts (or the Dark Avengers)
Between the ongoing machinations of Contessa Valentine Allegra de la Fontaine (and seriously, can you believe that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is now part of the MCU?) and whatever Sharon Carter was up to in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale end credits scene, thereā€™s plenty of reason to believe that some folks have an interest in putting together a team of ā€œDark Avengersā€ or something like the Marvel Comics team the Thunderbolts. In other words, antiheroes and villains who reform to do some good, despite still being really shady.
Itā€™s likely that weā€™re going to see this play out in upcoming MCU releases like Loki, Black Widow (that filmā€™s villain, Taskmaster, is a prime candidate for a team like this, and itā€™s already been confirmed that Val will appear there), and others. Perhaps by the time we get to Captain America 4 itā€™ll be time for a reckoning between someone who truly understands what it means to be a hero and these pretenders who have stepped in to fill the Avengers void.
Secret Empire
No, noā€¦not the recent Marvel Comics event with that infamous panel of Steve Rogers saying ā€œHail Hydra,ā€ I mean the ORIGINAL Secret Empire from the 1970s. The one where Steve, Sam, and Tā€™Challa teamed up after discovering that the U.S. government had been taken over by bad guys andā€¦waitasec, this sounds an awful lot like Captain America: The Winter Soldier when I put it that way, but trust me, itā€™s not the same.
But wait, arenā€™t we ALSO getting Secret Invasion on Disney+, the story about how the government has been infiltrated by Skrull agents. Wellā€¦yes, and I guess that sorta sounds a little similar here, too.
So then maybe it IS the more recent Secret Empire event, where the Red Skull altered reality to make it so that Steve Rogers believed he was a HYDRA agent all along. What does this have to do with anything, you ask? Wellā€¦
The Return of Steve Rogers
Earlier this year, word got out that Marvel was planning on bringing Chris Evans back to the Steve Rogers role in some form in the MCU (Evans, for his part, denied any knowledge of this). It seemed odd at the time, considering we all knew that Mackieā€™s Sam Wilson was getting ready to wield the shield at the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Deadline reported that any potential Steve Rogers project ā€œwould be separateā€ from the Cap movie being developed by Spellman, which is good because it would be pretty dopey to undermine Sam as Cap by bringing back one of the most beloved big screen superheroes of all time, especially this early in the game.
But what if the Steve Rogers who returns to the MCU isnā€™t quite the one we remember? What if heā€™s somehow part of a larger plot against America and the world, and it sets up a heartbreaking showdown with Sam?
And if thatā€™s gonna happen, thereā€™s only one baddie villainous enough to make it worthwhile, one whoā€™s long overdue to make a proper MCU returnā€¦
The Red Skull
Itā€™s incredible that weā€™ve only seen the Red Skull twice in the MCU. This is one of the greatest villains in comics history, and thereā€™s no greater challenge for a Captain America. Sam would 100% have his Cap bonafides locked up once he makes this Nazi asshat eat his own teeth.
How could the Red Skull return? Well, we have a theory that the person Sharon was talking to in that post-credits scene was Alexander (or Alexa) Lukin, a Russian spy who ended up kind of ā€œpossessedā€ by the spirit of the Red Skull, which set off a whole messy chain of events (in some of the best Cap comics of all time, Ed Brubaker and Steve Eptingā€™s Captain America run).
Captain America 4 Release Date
Of course, thereā€™s no release date for Captain America 4 just yet. There isnā€™t even a director! That being said, there are a number of dates on Marvelā€™s upcoming release calendar that donā€™t yet have films attached to them: Feb. 17, May 5, July 28, and Nov. 3 all in 2023. Those May or July dates would certainly be good fits for a summer blockbuster Cap flick.
Butā€¦while Marvel doesnā€™t have this date locked up yet, itā€™s worth noting that July 4th falls on a Thursday in 2024, so a long Patriotic holiday weekend release date sure would fit Captain America 4, too, wouldnā€™t it? Just having some fun speculating for now, but weā€™ll update you once thereā€™s more news out there.
