With the launch of the next Marvel Studios movie, “Captain America: Brave New World” just over a week away, Disney held a special press day event at the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada on Monday, attended by stars Anthony Mackie and Danny Ramirez, director Julius Onah and producer Nate Moore. 

One of the major highlights of the event was when Anthony Mackie, who plays Captain America, took to the skies aboard a HC-130J Combat King II aircraft and tandem jumped with a group of pararescuemen from the 58th Rescue Squadron from almost 13000 ft. The character of Sam Wilson, played by Mackie in the film, served in the Air Force’s 58th Rescue Squadron, making this moment all the more special. 

Check out the video of the skydive below:

In “Captain America: Brave New World,” Sam Wilson finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: Brave New World” stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. 

The film is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers. The screenplay is by Rob Edwards and Malcolm Spellman & Dalan Musson and Julius Onah & Peter Glanz with story by Rob Edwards and Malcolm Spellman & Dalan Musson.

“Captain America: Brave New World” opens in cinemas on February 14th, 2025 and will be coming to Disney+ a few months later.  You can also catch “Falcon And The Winter Soldier” on Disney+ now.

Roger’s Take:  This is a unique promotional opportunity for the film, and it will no doubt go viral.   Having previously done a Skydive myself, I take my hat off to Anthony for stepping up to do it and giving us a “Tom Cruise” type stunt.
