The second Captain America is arriving in theaters, promising audiences exhilarating action with enhanced combat skills. The press conference for the movie 'Captain America: Brave New World' (hereafter 'Captain America 4') was held virtually on the 5th. Anthony Mackie and director Julius Onah attended, announcing the dawn of a new Captain America.

'Captain America 4' is an action blockbuster film. Sam finds himself at the heart of an international incident, uncovering a conspiracy to dominate the world.

Anthony Mackie stars as the protagonist and the second Captain America. In the Avengers universe, he played the role of 'Falcon' (Sam Wilson). In 'Endgame', he was bequeathed the shield by Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans).

Everything has been upgraded compared to the first Captain America. Anthony Mackie commented, "I thought the new Captain America should demonstrate enhanced capabilities."

He further explained, "The wings have functions that surpass those of other superheroes," and "the shield is used as an active weapon, not just a defensive tool."

The movie promises refreshing and powerful action. "The fight sequences are dramatic and feature exaggerated movements. It's attack, attack, attack. The best defense is offense," he emphasized, "and you will see how every defense has been turned into an attack."

Anthony Mackie explained, "When the new Captain America decides it's 'time to fight', he becomes an attacker, not a defender. Everyone agreed with this premise."

Director Julius Onah added, "It's significant that Captain America becomes an attacker," and "the film will show how a Captain America without serum eliminates enemies right from the beginning. It will be fascinating."

Quick adaptability is also a strength of the second Captain America. The director mentioned, "Things like bricks and chairs will be utilized spontaneously," and "we've created moments where the action itself becomes the character."

What did Anthony Mackie discuss with his predecessor, Chris Evans? He recalled, "It was when I read the script containing the plot of becoming the new Captain America. Evans was there."

Anthony Mackie smiled and said, "He gave me a big hug and said, 'You're going to do great.' That was enough. Nothing more needed to be said."

Regarding being a more advanced successor, he confidently stated, "Rogers saw the value in Sam. He gave the shield to Sam first of all," adding, "Sam Wilson is ready."

The identity of Captain America remains unchanged, as the most virtuous and righteous hero. Anthony Mackie interpreted his character, saying, "Sam Wilson exemplifies our best qualities."

He remarked, "Watching Captain America and Sam Wilson will make us think about how we can express our inner good in the world," and "Captain America is a worthy goal to aspire to."

Finally, Anthony Mackie added, "Sam was chosen by Steve Rogers. He inherited the shield and will define his own Captain America," and "it will be the best Marvel movie ever."

Director Onah also said, "I made an entertaining film. It's a big, fun spectacle that Marvel excels at," hoping, "many will be inspired by the values (justice) that Captain America represents."

'Captain America 4' will be released on the 12th.
