Captain America: Brave New World coming in two months, and we've seen enough to get our adrenaline-loving, superhero-obsessed, conspiracy-theory hearts racing for the next installment in the Captain America cannons. We've seen Harrison Ford transform from President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross to Red Hulk, Giancarlo Esposito into a gun-toting lunatic like Seth Voelker/Sidewinder, and Anthony Mackie on the coolest Captain America costume in years. Now, with the latest trailer, we finally see more of one of the least talked about characters: Joaquin Torres / Falcon (Danny Ramirez).
In Marvel's “exclusive look” at the film, we see Ramirez working in Sam Wilson's old Falcon gear. It's great to see him leaping through the sky, dodging bomber jets and generally annoying Wilson with his assertions that he looks better in the Falcon suit than the new Captain America did. There's also a moment showing the pair out of their super suits, apparently sneaking around to find out what villain Samuel Sterns is up to (Tim Blake Nelson), who we still haven't seen beyond the shadows.
Torres, a former star Top Gun: Maverick, first appeared in the Captain America world as Joaquin Torres in the Disney + 2021 series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. At San Diego Comic Con 2024, Ramirez explained to him Level Zero that he didn't even know what the Falcon suit would look like until they started shooting. “It took months to develop. While we were doing pre-production for the film, he was like, 'Alright, Danny, give this a go. Okay, try this on.' At the same time, I was training. So the costume kept changing and changing. By the time it was ready for me to wear it on set, I remember looking at it and being like, 'Oh, that's it. Holy shit!'”
I think we all got the same reaction as Ramirez after watching the latest trailer. Now, we'll have to wait until February 14 to see the Falcon in full action.
