Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson is officially the next Captain America and his next appearance on the big screen will be in the fourth movie in the franchise evocatively titled “New World Order.” This will undoubtedly set off all sorts of bells in the minds of countless comic fans, but it also doubles as a clarion call to having an African American accept the mantle of one of the pillars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to this point.
“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” left Sam Wilson on a fascinating point in his journey as a Black man taking on the symbol of the most all-American superhero this side of Superman himself. Thanks to Feige’s incredibly well-received announcement, there can be no doubt that the future of Marvel looks much, much more inclusive.
