Anthony Mackie and hte stars of Captain America: New World Order got a warm welcome at D23, with a number of new and old MCU actors officially announced to return to the fold.

Carl Lumbly is back as original super soldier Isaiah Bradley after playing him in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Danny Ramirez returns as Joaquin Torres, while MCU newcomer Shira Haas will play Israeli hero Sabra.
Mackie has played Sam Wilson since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, spending much of that time as the hero The Falcon in films such as Captain America: Civil War (2016).

Mackie’s Wilson finally accepted the mantle of Captain America by the end of his Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), which also starred Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and dealt with questions of legacy.
