The director for Captain America 4 has been announced. Julius Onah will direct the film starring Anthony Mackie reprising his role as Sam Wilson/Captain America. Malcolm Spellman, the creator of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, will write the script along with another staff writer. Some fans still debate who the rightful Captain America is despite the passing of the mantle to Sam Wilson being the focus of the Disney+ show, but Chris Evans has stated that Sam Wilson is Captain America, shutting down speculation of his return.

1. Captain America 4 director announced
We’re deep into Marvel’s Phase 4, but there are always more shows and movies on the
horizon. One of the earliest entries in the post-Infinity War Marvel landscape was the
Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson
and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, the television show explored the complicated legacy
of Captain America as Sam finally accepted the mantle of becoming the next Cap.
When the dust settled, Sam Wilson was no longer the Falcon; he was a new Captain
America. Unlike Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Sam’s Cap has no super powers, instead
relying on a new high tech suit given to him by the Wakandans as well as his instinct to
always do the right thing whenever he can. Say what you will about Marvel’s scattershot
Phase 4, but Sam Wilson’s transition to Captain America was handled beautifully.
Shortly after the show concluded its first season, it was announced that Mackie would be
getting his own Captain America film. Captain America 4, as it is known until an official title is
revealed, has flown pretty low under the radar since then, with very few details surfacing.
But now we’re getting a big one: the movie officially has a director attached. The Hollywood
Reporter broke the news that Nigerian American filmmaker Julius Onah will helm Captain
America 4. Onah’s largest credit to date is The Cloverfield Paradox, one of the installments
in J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield series that premiered on Netflix in 2018. Falcon and the Winter
Soldier creator and head writer Malcolm Spellman will be penning the script, alongside
Falcon staff writer Dalan Musson.

Chris Evans gently pushes back on holdouts: “Sam Wilson is Captain America”
While The Falcon and the Winter Soldier covered Sam Wilson’s journey to becoming
Captain America pretty thoroughly, there are still segments of the fandom that have trouble
accepting anyone other than Chris Evans in the role. This was evident even in that
Hollywood Reporter announcement, which kind of awkwardly stated that Anthony Mackie
would be “reprising his longtime Marvel character of Sam Wilson, but not, however, Wilson’s
longtime alter ego and Captain America sidekick, Falcon.”
THR also mused over whether Evans would appear in the movie. “It is unclear whether Chris
Evans will reprise his role of Steve Rogers, aka the first Captain America (although if the
question of who is entitled to carry the shield continues to be posed, all bets are off. Plus,
having stacked casts in solo movie outings is a main Marvel ingredient at this point.)”
Let’s first off start by saying, the question of who is entitled to carry the shield was literally
the entire point of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. At this point, it should not be up for
debate, unless Captain America 4 revisits that thread in some very purposeful way. But
some fans are taking those lines from the article and holding them up as a rallying cry for
Evans to come back as Cap.
Evans, for his part, is having none of it. “Sam Wilson is Captain America,” he responded
directly in the THR tweet thread that mused over his return.

2. Old Cap has spoken. Let the man enjoy his retirement, and let Sam Wilson and Mackie have
their moment.
Captain America 4 does not currently have a release date, but is expected sometime in 2024
or later.
