The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 - and this Captain America adventure sees Anthony Mackie's character Sam Wilson, formerly known as Falcon, carrying the shield now that his pal Steve Rogers is retired.
