A new MCU video sees Anthony Mackie's Captain America meet Brie Larson's Captain Marvel. Fans were first introduced to the live-action Captain America in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, where the beloved character was played by Chris Evans. After two additional solo films and a number of Avengers team-up movies, Evans bid farewell to the role in 2019 with Avengers: Endgame. Since then, Mackie, who was first introduced to audiences as Sam Wilson/Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, has taken up the mantle of Captain America.
Larson first appeared as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in 2019, ultimately playing a large role in defeating Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Avengers: Endgame. The character has since not been a prominent figure in the MCU in Phase 4 but is mentioned frequently in Disney+'s Ms. Marvel, a show that establishes Captain Marvel super-fan Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) ahead of that character's appearance in next year's The Marvels. The MCU sequel movie is set to unite Danvers, Khan, and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), although little else is known about the upcoming film. So far, the MCU's Phase 4 has yet to feature an Avengers-style team-up film, with most entries working to establish new heroes.
In a new video posted by a user named emu on YouTube, Larson's Captain Marvel greets Mackie's Captain America. The short video was shown as part of Avengers: Quantum Encounter, a section of the new Disney Wish cruise ship. Although Mackie has previously interacted with Larson as Falcon, the video notably features Captain Marvel referring to him as "Cap," further solidifying Mackie's new role after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

With the Infinity Saga now firmly in the past, it remains to be seen how the MCU will handle Mackie's new role as Captain America. It has been confirmed that Captain America 4 is in the works, but details regarding the film are scarce at this point. The latest video for the Disney Wish cruise ship might signal some of what is to come in the MCU in the future, with another Avengers-style team-up likely coming at some point down the line with both Mackie and Larson. Notably, the video also features Vellani's Ms. Marvel, giving audiences a potential sneak-peek at the dynamic that may exist between the characters in The Marvels.
With the MCU seemingly focused on establishing a new cast of characters right now, it may be a while before audiences finally get to see the next incarnation of the Avengers on screen. For now, however, the video from Disney Wish gives audiences another look at Mackie's version of Captain America, a welcome sight considering another season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has not been confirmed, and Captain America 4 is still a while away. While only a short video, it is certainly satisfying to finally see Captain Marvel officially recognize the new Captain America, solidifying this new era of the MCU.
