According to a recent report, Sam Wilson‘s potential love interest for Captain America: New World Order is someone who comic book readers are undoubtedly familiar with.
The 2024 chapter of the MCU‘s Captain America 4 franchise is largely unknown outside of its lead and main antagonist (The Leader), but a casting call for Diamondback was made public in January and included the phrase “perhaps a love interest.”
Fans now know, however, that a comic book comrade of Sam’s is apparently planned to not only show up in the movie, but also serve as Captain America’s 4 love interest for the duration of it.
a dependable romantic interest for Sam Wilson
The Cosmic Circus reports that Leila Taylor, a fictional love interest of Sam Wilson will make an appearance in Captain America : New World Order in 2024.
Having learned his secret identity while operating as the Falcon, the character has been Sam’s long-running love interest. She would frequently participate in the butt-kicking her boyfriend got into while he was a superhero.
Leila will reportedly be played by Xosha Roquemore, despite speculations that she would be portraying the aforementioned Diamondback, according to The Cosmic Circus.
two potential partners for Cap?
As prospective love interests in Captain America: New World Order, Leila and Diamondback raise the possibility of a romance or love triangle plot (even as the B or C plot of the movie).
It is always possible, though, that Leila and Diamondback will get to demonstrate their strength in the major action of the plot as opposed to just being “damsels in distress,” a description neither women would approve of.
A romance B-plot would fit with The Cosmic Circus’ prediction that “we’re sure to learn even more about Sam’s private life” will be revealed in the upcoming movie. The movie is still more than a year away, so there won’t be much information for a while.
On May 3, 2024, Captain America: New World Order will hit theatres.
