Captain America 4 Lands Cloverfield Paradox Director

Captain America 4 will be directed by Nigerian-American filmmaker Julius Onah, who previously directed The Cloverfield Paradox.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Onah will serve as the director on the next Captain America movie, marking his MCU debut.

The next Captain America movie will star Anthony Mackie, picking up from his transformation into the next Captain at the end of Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Mackie's character Sam Wilson originally took the mantle of Falcon before inheriting Captain America's shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier creator Malcom Spellman is currently writing the script for the next Captain America movie alongside staff writer Dalan Musson.

No word on whether Sebastian Stan will reprise his role as Bucky (aka Winter Soldier) or even if Chris Evans might return as well.

Onah is best known for his work on the third Cloverfield movie which was surprise-released after the 2018 Super Bowl. He also directed the drama Luce starring Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, and MCU alumn Tim Roth.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier was one of Disney's first original Marvel series for its streaming service and reunited Sam Wilson with Bucky and the villain Baron Zemo. While the characters shone brightly the storylines were a bit thin. Read our full Falcon and the Winter soldier review here.
