Captain America 4 Producer Confirms Why “New World Order” Title Was Changed

As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast and someone who has followed the saga of Captain America since the days of Steve Rogers on the silver screen, I must say that the title change from “New World Order” to “Captain America: Brave New World” is a bittersweet development. On one hand, it’s always disheartening to see a title with such intrigue and mystery being replaced due to potential controversy. However, as someone who has witnessed the evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I understand the necessity of avoiding any associations that might alienate or upset fans.

Nate Moore, a long-time producer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has shared the reason behind the title change of the fourth Captain America movie. In an interview with Empire Magazine (through ComingSoon), he explained that the initial choice, “New World Order,” was intriguing and somewhat ominous. However, feedback received both internally and externally suggested that this phrase had unfortunately become associated with controversial conspiracy theories, causing discomfort among some people. Given the political themes in Captain America films and the sensitive nature of the term “new world order,” it’s understandable why Marvel Studios would opt for a less contentious title, particularly in our current divisive society.

In the upcoming movie titled “Captain America: Brave New World”, Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson steps into the star-spangled role previously held by Steve Rogers. As for the specifics, they’re being kept under wraps, but we do know that this film will present a new danger with far-reaching consequences following a significant international event. Harrison Ford takes over from the late William Hurt as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who is now serving as President of the United States and eventually transitions into the Red Hulk character.

In a highly anticipated comeback, Tim Blake Nelson re-emerges in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portraying Samuel Sterns – a character familiar to comic book enthusiasts as the notorious villain, The Leader. Additionally, fans will see the return of Joaquin Torres, who takes on the Falcon suit, and Carl Lumbly as the venerable super soldier Isaiah Bradley.

The standalone film “Captain America: Brave New World” may influence upcoming movies starring Earth’s Strongest Heroes. According to Moore, “I believe that the best Avengers teams are led by Captain America. This movie offers us a chance to discuss questions like ‘Where are the Avengers? What does it mean to be an Avenger? And is Sam the right person to lead them?’

In “Captain America: Brave New World,” we can expect further exploration of the storyline concerning Tiamut, the immense Celestial carcass submerged in the sea, hinted at in Marvel’s “Eternals.” Additionally, it has been disclosed that this artifact will serve as the origin of adamantium within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For those not acquainted with this indestructible material, it is primarily linked to Wolverine, given his skeleton and claws are reinforced with it. Could the upcoming “Captain America” movie lay even more groundwork for the emergence of Marvel’s X-Men? Might we witness a covert group (such as Weapon X) purloin some adamantium to conduct their top-secret mutant research? All the pieces are in place!

Captain America: Brave New World will be released on February 14, 2025.
