According to Mackie, Sam Wilson won’t be getting the Super Soldier Serum in the picture, choosing to stay his human, non-powered self.
Wilson choosing not to have the Super Soldier Serum is a major point to his character, something Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore has said is paramount to character’s development.
“I think, he’s not Steve Rogers and I think that’s a good thing,” Moore said on ComicBook Phase Zero podcast in 2021. “Because to me, this new Cap is Rocky. He’s going to be the underdog in any situation. He’s not a super soldier. He’s not a hundred years old. He doesn’t have the Avengers. What happens with this guy who announces publicly kind of, without the support, ‘I’m new Captain America.’ What happens next? I think is fascinating because he’s a guy. He’s a guy with wings and a shield, but he is a guy. So, we’re going to put him through the wringer and make him earn it, and see what happens when he is outweighed, outclassed, out-everything. What makes somebody Captain America? I’m going to argue it’s not being a super soldier. And I think we’re going to prove that with Mackie and Sam Wilson.”
