Falcons MCU Replacement Gets First Costume Reveal For Captain America: Brave New World 10 Months Before Movie Release
Captain America: Brave New World is not scheduled for release until February 2025, yet the first look at the film’s Falcon replacement has been provided. Originally set to be a Marvel movie released in 2024, Captain America: Brave New World was pushed back to 2025. This caused Captain America: Brave New World‘s story to be even more anticipated, as Anthony Mackie gets his first solo outing as Captain America in the MCU. With little else revealed aside from Captain America 4‘s cast of characters, a trailer is expected in the 10 months between now and the film’s release.
With less than a year until Captain America 4‘s release date remaining, an article from The Direct has provided the first look at the MCU’s Falcon replacement. The image comes from a series of promotional materials produced by fast food chain McDonald’s, highlighting Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres after his debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Now that Sam Wilson has taken up the mantle of Captain America, Torres has followed in his footsteps by becoming the Falcon, clad in a gray, green, and beige flight suit complete with updated wings.
Within the context of the MCU, Joaquin Torres’ Falcon looks very similar to the suit worn by Sam Wilson. The design is almost identical, with the only major differences being the color scheme and helmet. Sam Wilson’s Falcon was often shown wearing only a visor, while Torres’ new look has a full helmet. The color scheme change takes inspiration from Marvel Comics, as Torres’ Falcon was primarily clad in green and brown.
In Marvel Comics, Torres’ Falcon wears a green suit that looks more akin to spandex than the militarized version of the MCU’s hero. The green suit dips in a v-neck with no sleeves, only green gloves that offset against the character’s brown wings. The MCU version of Falcon from Captain America: Brave New World forgoes this more comic-book look for a similar suit to Sam Wilson’s old outfit, one that will be seen in action when the film hits theaters on February 14, 2025.
