by

Disney+ honored the nine appearances of the new Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) by making an update on their streaming platform. Following Steve Rogers’ retirement, the shield and title of Captain America were handed over to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame. Now, Anthony Mackie’s character is poised to lead for a significant period as one of the Avengers’ key figures, steering both the team and the MCU towards the future.

Marvel Studios highlights Sam Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) as Captain America with a dedicated section on their Marvel homepage on Disney+. With over a decade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe under his belt, starting from his debut in 2014, Mackie has become one of the longest-running stars within the franchise. As he carries on playing a key role among the Avengers, Disney is making significant promotional efforts to emphasize Sam Wilson’s significance as one of the team’s crucial members.

On Disney+’s Marvel section, viewers will find a collection titled “Sam Wilson as Captain America.” This compilation features all nine instances of Anthony Mackie portraying the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), both live-action and voiceover roles. The journey begins with the 2014 film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and continues, allowing fans to watch each of his movies and TV series. The collection concludes with the first MCU movie released in 2025, “Captain America: Brave New World“, which marks Mackie’s debut as a solo Marvel hero.

The full list of movies included can be seen below:

  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron
  • Ant-Man
  • Captain America: Civil War
  • Avengers: Infinity War
  • Avengers: Endgame
  • The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
  • What If…?
  • Captain America: Brave New World

Initially known as Falcon, Sam Wilson rose to significant importance within the Avengers throughout the Infinity Saga. After Steve Rogers traveled back in time, choosing to live with Peggy Carter instead, he passed on the mantle to Sam, gifting him the shield and providing an opportunity for him to lead the Avengers.

Sam Wilson’s Future in the MCU

Following “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Brave New World,” Sam Wilson has solidified his position as Captain America and one of the central Avengers characters. Towards the end of his debut film, he even began forming a new team of heroes. In the final stages of the Multiverse Saga, expect him to be involved in some thrilling action sequences.

Mackie is among the initial 27 actors announced to star in “Avengers: Doomsday“, a fact that doesn’t astonish fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was anticipated that Sam Wilson would have a significant part in the battle against Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Victor Von Doom, despite his lack of experience with the multiverse. This expectation grew even stronger after the post-credits scene of “Brave New World” hinted at further developments regarding this plot point.

It’s been hinted that Sam Wilson’s Avengers lineup may feature some familiar figures such as Joaquin Torres (Falcon), Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Bruce Banner (Hulk), Shang-Chi, and Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). This means he’ll be working with a few fresh team members, and they’ll need to unite swiftly to stand a chance against Doom, who threatens to shatter the multiverse.

Regardless of how the plot unfolds, fans anticipate that Sam will likely become one of the pivotal Avengers in future stories, given his significant role in concluding the Infinity Saga by accepting such a substantial responsibility.
