After officially taking over the mantle of Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson will make another appearance in the 2025 film Captain America 4: New World Order.
** from the set of "Captain America 4" has previously given people a glimpse of Mackay's new suit, which is clearly different in design from the red, white and blue suit he wore in the finale of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier".

The best look for Sam Wilson's upgraded Captain America suit has been featured in an Instagram post that showcased the marketing materials for the Marvel Collector's Gift Box.

The new suit is structurally similar to Wilson's previous one, which combines vibranium wings with Captain America's classic shield. However, the colors and designs of the uniforms are quite different, which confirms the designs shown on the set**.
This iteration removed a large number of white highlights on the shoulders and torso of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier uniform, and replaced them with blue. Wilson's goggles and white hood around his neck have also been completely removed in the new uniform.
Captain America 4: Why the new suit?
Although Sam Wilson may have only appeared in one episode of his new Captain America suit**, it's not uncommon for Marvel heroes to wear new suits in each of their projects.
It's unclear whether Wilson will wear his new suit at the start of Captain America 4: New World Order, or if there is a story reason in the film that explains this design shift.
Sometimes, new superhero suits are the result of time jumps, such as Steve Rogers' costume change between Captain America 3: Civil War and Avengers 3: Infinity War, which may indicate that some time has passed in the MCU's timeline since Wilson was last seen.
It's worth noting that this Marvel collector's gift box shown in ** will ship in March, which is almost a year ahead of Captain America 4's 2025 release date. Given that the film is currently undergoing large-scale reshoots, it's unclear if this will be the final jersey design.
