    In the Thunderbolts Trailer, it shows US Agent (who has a costume similar to Captain America) using a round shield to block gunfire. If that trailer played before the movie he was watching, it’s understandable someone that didn’t watch Falcon and Winter Soldier would think “oh that guy is Captain America now, I guess? Thought Sam Wilson was going to be Captain America… but ok, I guess.” Then the move starts and it actually is Sam Wilson as Captain America.

    This is the problem with there being so many entries into the franchise and filmmakers assuming everyone has watched them all. Most people aren’t going to know who US Agent is and from the Thunderbolts trailer, they might assume it’s a new Captain America.

      I agree with Thunderbolts confusion. Brave New World and Thunderbolts should not be coming out back to back.

      Brave New World was originally due out a year ago, but things happen.

      Now the idea that John Walker caused the confusion actually makes a lot more sense. If you’ve never seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the last trailer you saw was for Thunderbolts you could be confused why some dude who looks like Cap shows up. THEN you watch Brave New World, it’s Sam, like you always thought. Now it seems like you missed something, because you did, but that thing now feels noticable.

      That all actually makes more sense.
