Sam Wilson as Captain America
As if teasing us with news about the new Thor was not enough, Marvel dropped another bombshell on its fans today by revealing a new version of Captain America.
Taking over the reins of Steve Rogers as Captain America is Sam Wilson, formerly known as the Falcon.
Wilson’s suit will be specially designed to reflect his Falcon persona, amidst the iconic stars and stripes of Captain America.
He will also assume his new role as Captain America in ‘All-New Captain America #1’, which will be written by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen.
Remender wrote on the Marvel website, “I’ve been having a lot of fun writing Sam. It’s a completely different attitude. The fact that he’s not a soldier shifts things up a bit. Sam’s not going to be Steve. Steve can be rigid. That can be joyless at times, whereas Sam is absolutely not that.”
