Marvel Teases “Captain America: Brave New World”

The film is touted to be a more “grounded” addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Interestingly, part of the released footage featured Harrison Ford’s character, Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, the President, urging Mackie’s Captain America to step up and help in rebuilding the Avengers for a brave new world. He thanks Captain America for his past efforts, setting a poignant and anticipative tone for the forthcoming movie.
