Liv Tyler will reprise her Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Betty Ross in Captain America: New World Order.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Tyler will return to the MCU in the new Captain America film. Tyler played Betty Ross, a cellular biologist and love interest to Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), in the second-ever MCU film, 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Other Hulk characters already confirmed to appear in New World Order include Betty's father General Thaddeus Ross, now President of the United States and played by Harrison Ford after the death of William Hurt, and Dr. Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), who will embrace his supervillain identity as the Leader and be the main antagonist of the film.
New World Order is set to continue the story begun in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America while Air Force lieutenant Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) will take on Sam's former alias as the new Falcon. Also returning will be Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, a Korean War veteran who was experimented on by the government, giving him super-soldier abilities. Shira Haas will join the cast as the Israeli superhero Sabra, while Xosha Roquemore has been cast in an undisclosed role. Julius Onah will direct the film from a script by Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman and writer Dalan Muson.
The Fourth Captain America Film
While Mackie has refused to divulge spoilers for New World Order, he has discussed how Sam's tenure as the star-spangled hero differs from that of his predecessor. "I think with my Cap, he's not a superhero," he explained. "He doesn't have a super serum, so his superpower is his humanity. So, I think with him, he has to come to the stage with a very different understanding of what it is to be a good guy or be a bad guy and what are the decisions that make you toe that line in the way that you did. So, I just see him as more of a humane Cap as opposed to a distinctive judge Cap -- [a] Cap of judgment, where this is right and this is wrong. There are decisions that make you choose right or wrong."
The story of Falcon and the Winter Soldier will also continue in Thunderbolts, which will star Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) as the de facto leader of a team of morally questionable superhumans, including his rival John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell). The film has been described as the official sequel to 2021's Black Widow and will spotlight the return of Yelena Belova/Black Widow II (Florence Pugh), Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). Ford's President Ross is also set to appear in the film.
