![]() ![]() Star Wars, for example, isn't telling an ongoing narrative using movies and TV shows at the same time – all its stories are told separately, but exist in the same single continuity. That doesn't mean one is necessarily better than the other, of course, but Marvel is exploring new territory with all of this. If you compare the consequences of the final episode of Loki to those in big screen movie Black Widow, it's clear that unleashing the Multiverse in the former means more in the grand scheme of the MCU than anything that happened in the latter. The line between Marvel's TV and movie projects is increasingly blurry, in the sense that massive, world-shifting events can now happen in either – Loki showed us that. What makes sense on TV, and what makes sense on the big screen? Hopefully we'll see the first Black Captain America, Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), make a reappearance as well. What's most likely is that Spellman and Musson will take an approach we see so often in the Marvel movies and TV shows – grab pieces of Marvel lore for inspiration, and build something new out of them. The reveal of Sharon as a villain could also be very effective in this movie, if that's where they decide to go. The idea of Captain America trying to take out an unnamed, man behind the curtain-type figure with immense power would give this a little of the espionage style of Captain America: The Winter Soldier that made that movie so riveting. ![]() We'd like to see Sam Wilson's Cap wage war against the Power Broker – who we now know is Sharon Carter, an ally. What would be more interesting is if Captain America 4 uses some of the pieces that are already on the table in the movies and TV shows. Those all seem like remote possibilities to us. Nick Spencer's later Captain America run featuring Sam also reintroduced the Sons of the Serpent, essentially a hate-mongering, anti-American group who make great punching bags in the pages of Marvel's books. That book also introduced a villain called Baron Blood, and brought back Sinthea Schmidt, daughter of the Red Skull, as part of this new Hydra. He could always break out again, we suppose, but that would be the second time he's done that. That run dealt with the rise of a new Hydra led by Baron Zemo – who seems less likely to be the focus of the new Cap movie, since the MCU's Zemo is now safely incarcerated on the Raft. A good starting point for the writers might be the All-New Captain America run by writer Rick Remender, which introduced Sam as Cap. Really, this new Captain America needs his own villains. So what could a Captain America movie starring Anthony Mackie actually look like?Ī lot of classic Captain America villains have been covered off by the movies, now: Baron Zemo, Wolfgang von Strucker, Crossbones, Red Skull, Batroc and Arnim Zola have all made fairly extensive appearances in the MCU, with some reappearing in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Clearly, this wasn't to be the case, but a movie is the better scenario to me than more TV episodes. ![]()
