By A new report getting traction on social media outlets and Reddit appears to have leaked some of the plot line for Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: Brave New World” months ahead of the film’s release.
The posting seems to have originated from Reddit and a now deleted account. In the wake of this, several scoopers claim the rundown is legitimate but just how accurate their sources are is not clear so take this all with a LOT of salt.
POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
The report claims the only real big ‘cameos’ in the film are Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and Amadeus Cho (believed to be Logan Kim) who is working at Stark Industries.
The overall plot line deals with mind control which is triggered via mobile phones, including one order in which an attempted assassination of U.S. President Ross takes place.
Tim Blake Nelson’s The Leader is unsurprisingly responsible for the whole scheme, including Ross’ Red Hulk abilities. The Serpent Society, and Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder, figures into the film’s opening sequence and have been stealing adamantium, but are said to be quite limited in terms of screen time.
Harrison Ford’s President Ross becoming Red Hulk is apparently triggered by his blood pressure levels, and he uses lollipops to keep it under control (no more cigars). Big set pieces are said to include a naval battle off the coast of Tiamut Island, and a Sam/Red Hulk fight by the White House which gets torn up.
The report is also partly a review – it says there weren’t enough scenes between Sam and Joaquin to establish that relationship, that “The Leader’s goals were vague and his methods of doing what he was doing even vaguer,” and that Mackie and Harrison “are good” at playing off each other.
They also say Ford hulking out is “definitely the highlight of the entire movie,” and warn that the cut they saw had unfinished scenes and likely some missing ones.
As for the mid-credits scene, The Leader warns something “big and bad” is coming, and it is strongly hinted that Amadeus Cho has also been given that Hulk serum.
A separate report by Daniel Richtman adds to those details, saying the scene is meant to set the stage for ‘World War Hulks’ with The Leader having created several Hulks like Ross that he can control.
END SPOILERS
The story remains relatively vague, the leaker not really going into any motivations and omitting some major plot points.
The project marks the fourth film in the “Captain America” series, and the first to see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson taking over the mantle from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. It also serves as a continuation of the television miniseries “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”.
Directed by Julius Onah, who co-wrote the script with Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, the film also stars Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Shira Haas, Giancarlo Esposito and Harrison Ford. It is scheduled to be released in cinemas Valentine’s Day 2025.
