Fans of Sam Wilson’s original Captain America suit can rejoice, as the upcoming Captain America 4 is bringing back the classic costume after all.
The latest shots of actor Anthony Mackie in the costume were shared to theMarvelStudiosSpoilerssubreddit, and show the actor back in the classic blue and white suit duringreshootsforCaptain America: Brave New World.
Fans are naturally excited to see the suit, with many in the comments pointing out that while they like the look ofSam’s newest costume, it doesn’t hold a candle to the original.
“The white on it really pops and somehow it feels more ‘Captain America’ to me than just copying one of Steve’s old suits,” one user said in the comments. “It’s a fresh breath of air and I’m happy we get to see Sam fight in it again.”
“This suit is clean af, happy to see it’s not those awkward 3/4 length sleeves too,” another said, pointing to the much-derided rolled-up sleeves on Sam’s newest costume.
Unfortunately, many also assume we won’t be seeing too much of it. Speculation is the Captain America 4 reshoots are from early in the film, meaning we’ll likely briefly see this costume before Sam gets his new one.

The newest look is closer to the iconic Stealth Suit from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which many considered Steve Rogers’ best. But some fans don’t believe it makes sense for Sam to wear it, considering how different he is to Steve.
