00:00It was just revealed in Hall H that your fellow Avenger Robert Downey Jr. is back in the MCU as Dr. Doom.
00:06They just shared it. How does it feel to be welcoming him back into the MCU?
00:10I better kill him first. He better not... I give first dibs to knock him off. That's it.
00:17Can we see that matchup? Captain America versus Dr. Doom?
00:20Hell yeah. He gonna pull a hamstring or something. I'm gonna take him down.
00:23I am not going lightly into this dark night.
00:27That's amazing. Why is Brave New World the perfect title for this movie?
00:31Because it shows a new generation of Marvel, a new foundation that we're starting on.
00:39Sam Wilson is entering into a brave new forecast of the world that Marvel is becoming,
00:46that our situation, our universe is becoming.
00:49So I think it's a great title for everything that's happening with the characters and the movie.
00:53What was it like being up on that Hall H stage as the leader of this film here today?
00:57It was great. It was exciting, I think, is the only word I can use.
01:03It's funny having been here four or five times now and now showing up and being the lead of a film.
01:10Because, you know, I've done 90-something movies.
01:15So it's not too much that's like, you know, but having the appreciation.
01:21We live so much of our lives being judged, ridiculed, looked down upon and shit on.
01:28To be able to walk in a room that expresses appreciation and excitement, we don't get that often.
01:38So it's not overlooked or taken lightly.
