With Anthony Mackie headlining a “Captain America” flick and Sebastian Stan set to lead “Thunderbolts” to glory, it seems like the era of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is over. But seeing as this is the MCU, it’s incredibly likely that Sam and Bucky will cross paths in upcoming projects, especially since “Brave New World” and “Thunderbolts” are interconnected, both notably featuring Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross, now the president of the United States.
What’s next for Zemo is unclear, but Daniel Brühl has expressed interest in returning to the role, telling Screen Rant in 2023, “If the right opportunity would come, I wouldn’t say no, obviously.” While the character would hypothetically be perfect for an appearance in “Thunderbolts,” he hasn’t been confirmed for the feature, nor any other. For now, audiences can look forward to seeing Sam Wilson as Captain America in “Captain America: Brave New World.”
