Like Thor: Love and Thunder before it, the Captain America franchise is the latest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get a fourth installment with the just announced Captain America: New World Order. Unlike the aforementioned God of Thunder, this fourquel will pass the shield to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, who officially took on the stars and stripes at the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Shortly following that show’s finale, reports circulated that Mackie’s next Captain America appearance would come on the big screen in Captain America 4, with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer and creator Malcolm Spellman tapped to scribe the project. While Mackie inked a deal to star in the film last summer, Marvel Studios had remained quiet on the movie’s status.
