Much like many upcoming films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the plot of "Captain America: New World Order" is still strictly under wraps. However, according to Bleacher Report, it will be a continuation of the events from "The Falcon and Winter Soldier" series on Disney+ where Sam Wilson officially became the new Captain America.

The film will also star Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, who will be taking up the mantle of The Falcon from Wilson. Meanwhile, Harrison Ford will be making his MCU debut as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who was previously portrayed by the late William Hurt until the actor's death in 2002. Finally, Liv Tyler will also be returning to the MCU as Betty Ross, Bruce Banner's love interest in "The Incredible Hulk" and General Ross's daughter.
