A new Captain America: Brave New World trailer teased a political thriller and superhero action/adventure movie akin to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the latest footage continues that tone.

At D23 Brazil this weekend, Marvel Studios released the official trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, which features a proper, extended look at Harrison Ford's Red Hulk as he faces off against Sam Wilson's Captain America. The footage also reveals even more of Mackie's new Captain America costume, which features a retractable helmet much like the Avengers' Quantum suits in Endgame. Check out the trailer below.

What The Captain America: Brave New World Trailer Reveals

Harrison Ford Becomes Red Hulk And Faces Off Against Captain America

The new trailer reveals a little bit more about the ending of Eternals.

As confirmed at SDCC over the summer, the Celestial will be made of adamantium. After Black Panther: Wakanda Forever saw Wakanda fighting back against foreign powers that sought to steal their vibranium, it seems likely that the U.S. has turned its sights to the adamantium that could give them an edge of power over the rest of the world. This, of course, leads to the fighting seen near the Celestial hand in the trailer.

However, it remains to be seen how Ford's Red Hulk persona fits into the storyline. It's possible that he's made into a Hulk to protect him following the assassination attempt, though it's also been speculated to have something to do with the returning Marvel character, The Leader. There's also Giancarlo Esposito's Sidewinder to contend with, as he features in the trailer seemingly taunting Captain America. Although the trailer reveals more footage, there's clearly plenty more about the movie left to be uncovered.

Our Take On The Captain America: Brave New World Trailer

It Looks Like Something Completely New

When the first trailer released, Captain America: Brave New World was compared to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, seemingly because of its political thriller themes. However, there's a lot more epic superhero action in Brave New World, as we see in this full trailer. Between the flying fight scenes near the Celestial hand and Sam Wilson cutting an exploding car in half with his suit's wings, the action scenes aren't quite as grounded as they were in The Winter Soldier, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It might be tricky to pull off the balance, but if Captain America: Brave New World can manage it, it could be another hugely successful MCU movie.
