Captain America: Brave New World is taking us on a fresh adventure with Sam Wilson taking up the mantle and donning that infamous red, white, and blue suit. We saw Anthony Mackie and others like Giancarlo Esposito in action in a previous trailer for the MCU’s fourth standalone Captain America film. But San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) gave fans some new Captain America: Brave New World insight into the film, including Giancarlo Esposito’s role in it as Sidewinder, the King of the Serpent Society.

In the panel, Marvel leader Kevin Feige said that this film would be a return to the grounded aspects of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Sam will carry his counselor background with him into the narrative. It will remain to be seen how that plays out onscreen.

The audience got to look at a new clip featuring Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross directly talking about the Celestials coming out of Earth. And, Adamantium gets a MCU introduction. It was discovered in the ruins of where a dead Celestial appeared in the ocean and is now the most valuable element on the planet. Fans also saw Ross become Red Hulk in the clip, which has yet to be widely available.
