In Captain America: Brave New World, Danny Ramirez offered his thoughts on the similarities and differences between the two versions of Captain America and Falcon that have been shown in the MCU. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Joaquin Torres was presented as the new Falcon, while Sam Wilson struggled to accept the role that Steve Rogers had left him. Following Sam Wilson’s acceptance of his new job and Torres’s taking over of the Falcon mantle, Captain America: Brave New World will go more into their connection after they have already worked together as warriors and against the Flag Smashers. Danny Ramirez implied in an exclusive interview with Liam Crowley of ScreenRant that the relationship between his Falcon and the new Captain America is not as equal as that between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. When asked what distinguishes each partnership, Ramirez says that Wilson and Rogers’ relationship was more equal, while Torres saw Wilson as a hero. He also talks about how, in Captain America: Brave New World, he tried to capture Torres’ characteristically impetuous adolescence. You may read his entire remark below:
Liam Crowley: I’m glad you brought up the relationship between Sam and Joaquin. A lot of parallels between that relationship and Steven Bucky, I’d love for you to tell me what makes that pairing different.
Danny Ramirez: Steve and Sam see each other I think more of that Sam was a counselor and Steve was frozen in time. And so there’s inherently a different dynamic within their maturity and the things they’ve done in their individual paths, whereas there’s a more of a mentor-mentee element within Sam and Joaquin. I think that there’s a clear difference of just what they bring to the table in that regard. And I think Joaquin has more of this eager energy to prove himself. And that inherently, I think makes that dynamic a little bit more like, ‘Let me prove it to you that I’m worthy.’ Whereas there’s more, it felt like Steve and Sam were a little bit more with their feet on the ground, eye to eye. Whereas here, I think there is a little brother, big brother dynamic. And so I was kind of just leaning into that because in the comics you get to feel that you feel Joaquin’s youthfulness and how much of a little hot shot he thinks he is and how badass he thinks he is. I was like, all right, lemme capture that and put it into this character. I think that’ll put us in some really interesting predicaments. He’s going to be overly eager in moments where who knows maybe you shouldn’t be. I think that dynamic is where I think it adds the burden of responsibility to Sam where he ends up caring for this guy and has to also take care of him. And so it builds this different dynamic for sure.”
“Liam Crowley: And he’s not just learning from Sam in this movie. You get a little bit of a moment from what I’ve seen so far with Isaiah, you get to learn from the OG. Who’s a better OG mentor: Isaiah or Maverick?
Danny Ramirez: I think it’d go Sam, because Joaquin’s looked up to Sam from the jump, and so although Joaquin knows his history and knows who the OG Cap is and kind of who Isaiah was from the onset and there’s this respect that’s there, I think I’d go compare Joaquin and his love for Sam Wilson to Fanboy and Maverick, I think Fanboy also being someone that knows the history of the Navy would definitely have heard of and has heard of Mav and all the accolades he’s done. So it’s comparable. I think outright, Joaquin has said that Sam is his hero, and so instantly I think I’d go that way.
It appears that Danny Ramirez is implying that Joaquin Torres views Sam Wilson in a manner akin to Kamala Khan’s perception of Carol Danvers. Like Ms. Marvel in The Marvels, Torres may go above and beyond to make sure he is upholding his hero’s heritage, even if they will both find themselves in difficult situations. It may also result in Sam Wilson taking further chances to protect Torres, particularly if Torres puts himself in danger on purpose to accomplish the above described objectives. This is different from the relationship between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, as Ramirez says. Wilson doesn’t necessarily worship Steve Rogers; rather, he fights with him as an equal despite their clear power disparity, even though he treats Rogers with the highest regard during their time together in the MCU, which makes him reluctant to take Cap’s place. By demonstrating humility in the face of Torres’ reverence, Sam should be able to further establish his suitability for the character of Steve Rogers in Captain America: Brave New World.
