Sit Down Haters, Sam Wilson Is The Perfect New Avengers Leader After Captain America 4’s Trailer

The first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has already proven that Sam Wilson is the perfect candidate to lead the new Avengers team in the MCU. Since the Avengers first formed in Phase 1, they have been led by Steve Rogers’ Captain America, but his departure from the MCU in Avengers: Endgame means that a replacement needs to be found. The Avengers haven’t yet come together in the Multiverse Saga, but they are expected to reform for Phase 6’s highly anticipated Avengers 5 and Secret Wars.

With the Avengers likely coming back together very soon, the hunt should be on for a leader, and since Steve Rogers’ star-spangled man-with-a-plan helmed the last team, perhaps Sam Wilson’s Captain America could take on this role in the new. Some have expressed doubt that Sam Wilson is capable enough to lead the Avengers, but the first teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World swiftly puts these concerns to rest. There may be more powerful heroes than Sam Wilson in the MCU, but he is the most perfect candidate to lead the Avengers.

There Has Been Doubt About Sam Wilson’s Captain America Leading The New Avengers Team

After being passed the Captain America shield and mantle by an elderly Steve Rogers in Endgame, Sam Wilson officially embraced his new position in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, despite taking over the moniker, Wilson is wildly different from Rogers, most notably because Sam Wilson hasn’t taken any super-soldier serum. He has no innate superhuman gifts and isn’t physically enhanced in any way, which has prompted some to note that he may not be strong enough to lead the MCU’s upcoming Avengers team.

There are considerably more powerful heroes in the MCU who perhaps might be better suited to be the leader of the Avengers. Doctor Strange is a key figure in the Multiverse Saga, Captain Marvel is one of the MCU’s most overpowered heroes, and Thor has seniority over most of the MCU’s other characters. However, while Sam Wilson might not have physical superpowers, he is still a remarkable skilled and experienced hero, so he shouldn’t be overlooked. This has only been proven even further in Captain America: Brave New World’s first trailer.

Captain America: Brave New World’s Trailer Shows Off Sam Wilson’s Remarkable Skills

Even though he isn’t a super-soldier, Sam Wilson has still proven his strengths time and again, and proven that he is not only the perfect Captain America, but also the perfect candidate to lead the Avengers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier saw Sam Wilson suit up in a vibranium Captain America costume, made in Wakanda, which he will presumably continue to sport in Captain America: Brave New WorldAs well as his outer protection, Sam Wilson is also a highly-skilled fighter with a supreme tactical mind.

His time in the Air Force and work with the Avengers have finely tuned these skills, particularly when carrying out investigative work, recon, and infiltration. On top of this, Sam Wilson has a decade of experience working alongside the world’s strongest superheroes, and these skills are put on display in Captain America: Brave New World’s teaser trailer. Captain America fights back many attacks, pulls off flips, tricks, and kicks, flies through a jet with his vibranium armor, breaks the sound barrier, and even takes on Red Hulk in Brave New World, proving he would make a formidable Avengers leader.

Why Sam Wilson Would Be The Perfect Leader Of The Avengers

Early footage from 2024’s CinemaCon revealed that Harrison Ford’s President Ross will ask Sam Wilson to rebuild the Avengers in Captain America: Brave New World. It’s unclear whether he actually will, but the fact that even the United States government want the Avengers to be led by Sam Wilson’s Captain America should mean something. Sam Wilson’s conviction, dedication, and skill are second-to-none, so there’s no doubt that he would do well as the leader of the Avengers, but there’s another important reason he should be chosen for the role.

The Avengers are expected to embark on some pretty fantastical multiversal adventures in the MCU’s Phase 6, which means the team could very easily become cosmically-focused or otherworldly. Having Sam Wilson lead the team will ensure that the Avengers stay grounded in humanity – they are an Earth-based team, so they should be led by a very human character. There may be nobody more human in the MCU than Sam Wilson, who will return to fight in Captain America: Brave New World not because his powers force him to, but because it’s the right thing to do.
