Disney's D23 Brazil just dropped the official trailer for Captain America: Brave New World.

The 2:37-long piece includes some shots that were already part of the teaser trailer that dropped last summer and builds upon them by focusing both on the massive action scenes that are typical for an MCU movie and on the behind-the-scene mechanisms that suggest that both the new President Thunderbolt Roll (Harrison Ford) and the new Captain America (Anthony Mackie) are just paws in a much bigger play. Still, the trailer doesn't give away too much of the MCU's 35th film's plot.

There were rumors about last-minute reshoots after test screenings of the 4th Captain America film didn't go as Marvel and Disney intended, and much of these reshoots are said to be focused on the role of the mysterious Samuel Sterns/Leader (played by Tim Blake Nelson), the main villain of the movie, who seemingly not only tries to seed distrust between Ross (who might ultimately turn out to be a kind of Manchurian candidate) and Sam Wilson but also to steer the United States directly into a war against other nations to obtain the mineral Adamantium from the dead Celestial that rises from the ocean since the end of The Eternals.

Also in the mix is Giancarlo Esposito's Sidewinder, another villain and leader of the Serpent Society, and Shira Haas' Ruth Bat-Seraph, a former Black Widow who seems like an ally to Ross but might have her own agenda.

The trailer also features Isaiah Bradly (Carl Lumbly), who was introduced in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as one of the first Super Soldiers and who is seemingly still under the control of a higher power.

But the probably most exciting element is Ross's seemingly first transformation into the Red Hulk (much to his own shock) and his first (of probably several) stand-offs with the new Captain Ameria, who uses his enhanced wings to cut a car in two that the Red Hulk throws at him.

The trailer makes some interesting aesthetic choices: Some of the footage is artificially grained to make it look like an old analog film, and on several occasions, horizontal and vertical white lines appear that evoke both the look of comic book panels and a sense of concurrentness of events.

Judging from the footage, it seems that screenwriters Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, Matthew Orton, and director Julius Onah are trying to keep a lot of plates spinning at the same time storywise, and the audience will learn on February 14 if Brace New World is able to continue the tradition of well regarded Captain America films.
