So far, there is just one trailer for Captain America: Brave New World. The footage, which you can watch above, shows Sam Wilson meeting with President Thunderbolt Ross. Ross tasks him with forming the new Avengers, and Ross is also attacked by Isaiah Bradley. We get only a glimpse of him in Red Hulk mode, though, some additional footage was screened during D23 that gave a better look at Harrison Ford's transformation.

Captain America: Brave New World picks up after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which ended with Sam Wilson finally accepting the mantle of Captain America – setting us up for Captain America 4. His friendship with Joaquin Torres, the future Falcon, was also established in the Disney Plus show. 

Specifics on Cap 4 are scarce at the moment, but it's clear that it's going to have some significant crossover with the world of the Hulk. For one thing, we're going to see Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk, and there are multiple characters returning from The Incredible Hulk. How that's going to work remains to be seen, though. 

Then, Giancarlo Esposito is one of the villains, appearing as Sidewinder – King of the Serpent Society. How that will factor into the fourquel is also a mystery for now.
