With Captain America 4 continuing its slow and steady development process, Anthony Mackie’s Brave New World Suit has found its way online. Here’s a look at Sam Wilson’s new suit.
What does Anthony Mackie’s suit look like in Captain America: Brave New World?
Anthony Mackie’s suit in Captain America 4 is a mix of Steve Roger’s stealth suit from The Winter Soldier, his first Avengers, suit, and Sam Wilson’s first Captain America suit.
Sam Wilson’s Vibranium-infused Captain America suit is going to get an upgrade in Brave New World. The suit is much sleeker this time around. It has a new wing design. Furthermore, it has toned down on the white that highlighted his previous comic-accurate suit.
In the past, Anthony Mackie shared a side-on image of his new suit from the set. Before that, a front-on look had already leaked in mid-2023.
With its royal blue color, the suit design seems to be an amalgamation of Sam Wilson’s first Captain America suit, Steve Rogers’ stealth suit, and his Avengers suit. But most importantly, it doesn’t feature the white cowl that it did in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Why has Anthony Mackie’s suit changed so much?
Sam Wilson’s suit has been changed to sell more toys and fix the cowl problem that added to the CGI budget of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
The white cowl on Sam Wilson’s Captain America suit in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looked great. But it came with a slight problem as it folded whenever Anthony Mackie bent his neck down while talking. It looked imperfect and needed to be fixed in post-production using CGI.
Anthony Mackie was always going to get a new suit moving from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to Captain America: Brave New World as it helps sell more toys and merchandise. But the latest one removed the cowl to primarily reduce the CGI cost.
