The artwork features a stylized flying suit in military green, with yellow accents on the goggles and wings.
Shared by industry insider CanWeGetSomeToast on Instagram, the image suggests that Danny Ramirez, known for his role as Joaquín Torres, the second Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will wear the new suit in the upcoming film.
This depiction closely resembles the character’s comic book appearance, exciting fans for what’s to come.
In the comics, Falcon’s super-suit hides more than his identity.
In “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” the MCU introduces Joaquín Torres, who encounters his predecessor as Sam Wilson transitions to Captain America.
The series hints at Torres’ future as the new Falcon, confirmed by the recent costume leak. While comic lore depicts Torres as a falcon-human hybrid, it’s uncertain if the MCU will follow suit.
With potential villains like The Leader and the Red Hulk, “Brave New World” could explore body horror themes.
Nevertheless, actor Danny Ramirez believes Torres embodies youthful energy and determination.
“He’s young, excited, and eager to learn,” Ramirez said. “He knows how important this opportunity is and won’t squander it. He’ll go the extra mile—and then some.”
