When Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige announced the lineup for Phases 4, 5, and 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a fourth Captain America film wasn’t the biggest headline of the day for most fans. While many fans have enjoyed seeing Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson take on the mantle of the Captain America, the departure of Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers from the MCU has been a loss that many feel the franchise has yet to recover from.
As the months have passed since that big announcement, little by little we’ve learned more about Marvel’s plans for a fourth Cap movie and with each new tidbit, the excitement around the film has grown. For many Marvel fans, Captain America: New World Order (as we now know the title to be) is quickly becoming the most anticipated MCU project outside of the upcoming Avengers movies.
So what exactly do we know about this movie so far? We’re here to give you the rundown and get you caught up on why many fans are now expecting Captain America: New World Order to be as big an event as Captain America: Civil War was back in 2016.
