New Captain America: New World Order set photos from the highly anticipated sequel have been dropped. The photos show Anthony Mackie filming the new movie, as well as a recreation of a place from the world of Marvel Comics.
The latest set photos come as filming on the project commences and feature Mackie dressed casually as he films a scene without his new Captain America costume. Another photo shows the inside of a place called Smyth’s Diner. Fans of Marvel Comics might recognize this as the same place that appeared in Adventures of Captain America #2, which released in 1991.
In the comics, Col. James Fletcher called General Phillips from the diner after escaping from the Das Vernichtungs-Kommandos/The Killing Squad — a group of supervillains that existed in the comics during World War II. While it’s unlikely this exact storyline will happen in the upcoming film, it is a nice nod to the comics nonetheless.
Captain America: New World Order will be directed by Julius Onah from a screenplay written by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson. The film features Mackie reprising his role as Sam Wilson, who has now officially taken on the mantle of the MCU’s new Captain America. He will be joined by returning Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Danny Ramirez and Carl Lumbly, who are once again playing the roles of Joaquin Torres and Isaiah Bradley, respectively.
Additionally, The Incredible Hulk actor Tim Blake Nelson will also be reprising his role as Marvel villain Samuel Sterns/Leader nearly 15 years after the Edward Norton-led film’s theatrical debut. New World Order will also include the introduction of MCU newcomer Shira Haas as Sabra.
