Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson is set to be the MCU Avengers’ new leader in Avengers: Doomsday, as confirmed by Captain America: Brave New World writer. After giving up and recovering the Captain America shield in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson faced his first full-fledged supervillain threat in Captain America: Brave New World, where he defeated two of Hulk’s most powerful enemies. Along the way, Thaddeus Ross reminded the MCU’s new Captain America how necessary it is for him to assemble a new Avengers team, and of course, to lead it himself.
In an interview with Comic Book Movie, Captain America: Brave New World writer Rob Edwards teases Sam Wilson’s role as the Avengers’ new leader in Avengers: Doomsday, where Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson is confirmed to return. Edwards confirms his writing work is limited to Captain America: Brave New World, but the events of Sam Wilson’s first MCU movie certainly laid the foundations for a team leader role in the MCU’s next Avengers movie. Read Rob Edwards’ comments below:
“He’s Captain America now, so arguably, he’s running the show. I think that’s the next step. I’m just guessing as a fan, but I think that’s where you go with Doomsday. You recreate the Avengers as was suggested in the movie. I’m on for the ride now. I can’t wait for the next one.”
