Captain America: Brave New World

Sam Wilson, an established Black character from the comics, takes over the Captain America mantle previously held by Steve Rogers — a legacy transfer rather than a race-swap of one character.

• Sam Wilson assumes the Captain America identity/shield formerly carried by Steve Rogers

No notable 'men are the problem' messaging; the film is male-led with Sam and antagonist Ross at the center.

No prominent LGBTQ+, trans, or non-binary characters or storylines.

A diverse cast including Sam, Joaquin Torres as the new Falcon, and Isaiah Bradley, consistent with the modern MCU setting rather than a lore-contradicting checkbox.

• Joaquin Torres becomes the new Falcon
• Isaiah Bradley as a wronged super-soldier figure

Touches on themes of trust, race, and a Black man carrying the shield, with the Isaiah Bradley subplot referencing historical injustice, but these are folded into the plot rather than delivered as sermons.

• Isaiah Bradley's history as an experimented-on, imprisoned super-soldier
• Sam grappling with whether America will accept him as Captain America

No sustained framing of masculinity or the West as inherently toxic; it's a fairly conventional political thriller.

Sam Wilson becoming Captain America follows the comics; deviations are mostly standard MCU adaptation choices rather than agenda-driven rewrites.
