The new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, will meet the audience in the movie ‘Captain America: Brave New World’. As anticipation for the new Captain America grows, the director and actor explained the movie‘s points of interest to Korean audiences.

On the morning of the 5th, a video press conference for the movie ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ was held. Actor Anthony Mackie and director Julius Onah attended the press conference that day.

Anthony Mackie was the first to say, “I brought a movie that I’m so proud of, so I hope you all enjoy it.”

Director Julius Onah then added, “I‘m honored and happy, just like actor Anthony Mackie said. I’m looking forward to the press conference with the new Captain America.”

Anthony Mackie said about his role as the new Captain America, “I can‘t hide my excitement because I never thought I’d be playing Captain America. I never dreamed of rising to such a high position, so it‘s an honor to be with you. What kind of role does he have, what direction do you want to take with the MCU? Sam Wilson is the perfect character. He’s more than capable of being Captain America when you look at his human warmth and passion. That‘s why I think Steve Rogers gave him the shield.”

Anthony Mackie also said about the differences between him and previous Captain Americas, “The difference between Sam Wilson’s Captain America is that he didn‘t get the super soldier serum. The biggest difference is that Sam Wilson has to overcome difficulties armed with humanity and understanding. Sam Wilson can’t just solve problems with his fists. When I first met Sam Wilson, he was like a counselor. He was also a strong supporter. From Steve Rogers‘ perspective, he was a friend he could always go to when needed. He is a character united by such humanity and camaraderie.”

Director Julius Ona said, “I can’t hide my excitement at the opportunity to introduce the new Captain America and tell his story. The audience will be able to fully experience Sam Wilson’s journey and experiences. You will be with Sam Wilson, who has no superhuman powers, on every journey he goes through. Everyone will be able to experience whether the new Captain America will be a great inspiration to us. The most important theme is that everyone has a good heart. I always tried to direct so that it would be well-represented. I think Korean audiences will also enjoy it.”



Anthony Mackie said about the differences in this film, “I think the new Captain America’s suit should show its capabilities to the fullest. All of its functions have been upgraded. It has functions that surpass those of other superheroes. The fight sequences seem dramatic and exaggerated. The best defense is offense, so you’ll be able to see all defenses turned into offense. Everyone agreed that the new Captain America should be an attacker, not a defender,” he explained.

Director Julius Ona drew attention by revealing that the film includes an homage to the Korean film “A Bittersweet Life.” Director Julius Ona said, “I was inspired by the action in ‘A Bittersweet Life.’ As a fan of Korean films, I‘m so happy to be able to express my affection for it.”

Ahn So-mi Maki said, “The process of establishing Captain America’s identity in her own way is the core of the film. Steve Rogers passing the shield is not a simple succession, but it will open an era of Captain America that only Sam Wilson can do,” he said, raising expectations for the future series.



He also added, “Sam Wilson is a character who shows us the best aspects of ourselves. He expresses all the good things, and when we see that, he is a character who makes us think about how we can express the good things within us to the world. That’s why we respect and look up to them. I think he is a good example of what we should aim to become.”

Lastly, Anthony Mackie added, “Remember that Sam was chosen by Steve Rogers. He is defining his own Captain America. As a Marvel movie, I can confidently say this. It will be the best movie. He emphasized, “I am so happy about that part.”

Director Julius Onah also added, “I think Sam Wilson’s righteousness, honesty, and uprightness will resonate with and inspire many people. You will be able to take away joy and impressions with the new Captain America.”

Meanwhile, “Captain America: Brave New World” is an action blockbuster that depicts Sam, who becomes the center of an international incident after reuniting with President Thaddeus Ross, uncovering the existence and reason behind the evil plot to turn the world red. It will be released on the 12th.
