Steve Rogers had his super serum that made Captain America's heroic feats possible, but for his successor, Sam Wilson, the situation is quite different. After all, he's just a well-trained, albeit fairly ordinary guy. This has led fans to question how he could possibly stand a chance against the enraged Red Hulk, who seems to be Wilson's primary adversary in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World.
This is a question that Anthony Mackie, the actor behind the high-flying Sam Wilson, has now answered. Here's what he had to say on the matter:
"It's very different with the serum - you can fight anybody. When you don't have the serum, you have to be smart and engineer different ways of defeating enemies. With Sam, him being a counselor, he uses more of his brains than brawn. He uses more of his wit than his fist. He's more of a friend to everyone."
Mackie then went on to describe his new suit in greater detail and what it does for Wilson:
"It's a high-tech suit. I went to Wakanda, met with everybody in Wakanda, we had dinner. It was a great time. They threw me a welcome party. It was dope. But when I was leaving, they gave me a suit, right? I put it on. I can kick harder, I can fly faster, and it gives me the ability to be more agile in my skills, so it's taking all my skills to a completely different level."
What do you think about Wilson as the new Captain America, and are you excited for the new movie?
