Captain America 4 Gets Director To Helm Sam Wilson's First Solo Movie
The gears are starting to turn at Marvel Studios for Captain America 4 as Julius Onah has signed on to direct. The upcoming chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is expected to continue the story of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, in which Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson grappled with his internal conflict over whether to carry on the Captain America mantle, as Steve Rogers asked him to in Avengers: Endgame. The final episode of the Disney+ series would see Sam combine his Falcon suit with that of a Captain America design and wielded Steve's iconic vibranium shield.
Development on Captain America 4 was first announced in early 2021, the same day as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's finale, as the show's head writer Malcolm Spellman and another series writer Dalan Musson were brought on to pen the script for the film. Word would remain largely quiet on the MCU sequel in the year that followed, with Mackie teasing that he was getting back into superhero shape in the hopes of beginning production on the film soon. After a few months of preparation, it looks like Mackie may be back to work for Captain America 4 in the near future.
