The internet never disappoints regarding Marvel reactions, and Sam Wilson’s Captain America: Brave New World just gave fans another wild moment to obsess over. Sam Wilson, our new Cap, is doing stunts that even Steve Rogers might have second-guessed. The latest footage shows Sam surfing a missile mid-air. And as if that wasn’t enough, his trusty drone, Redwing, is casually using his shield for cover.

Naturally, the internet exploded. Fans are either hyped beyond belief or side-eyeing Marvel for turning Sam into the MCU’s newest action figure. But one thing’s for sure, this scene has people talking. And laughing. And debating whether Steve Rogers would’ve shed a single patriotic tear watching his successor pull off a stunt straight out of an arcade game.


Sam Wilson Missile Surfing Scene Goes Viral

When Marvel fans say something is “cold,” they mean it in the best way possible. And Sam Wilson riding a missile while dodging explosions? The clip has been making the rounds online, and while the reactions are mixed, the one thing everyone agrees on is that this moment is pure blockbuster madness.

The original post that set Twitter (or X, but let’s be honest, it’s still Twitter) on fire called the scene “one of the COLDEST moments in the MCU.” Some fans completely agreed. Others? Not so much. The sheer ridiculousness of it all had people cracking jokes and questioning physics like they were suddenly rocket scientists.

Marvel’s been pushing boundaries with action sequences for years, but this one takes it to another level. Sam Wilson doesn’t have the super-soldier serum like Steve did, but who needs that when you’ve got impeccable timing, insane flying skills, and the confidence to ride a missile like it’s a surfboard?

The comment section was a goldmine of reactions. One fan summed it up perfectly: “Steve Rogers would’ve cried if he had seen this lmao. Sam doesn’t need that serum at all.” And honestly? They’re not wrong. If Steve ever thought about passing down the shield to someone with restraint, well… Sam just proved he had other plans.

Another fan, clearly seeing the bigger picture, said,

“And that’s exactly why he chose him as his successor.”

It’s a fair point. Steve knew Sam would carry the shield in his way, apparently, that includes missile surfing.

But not everyone was sold on the hype. One skeptic commented,

“This almost sold me but I know better… I’ll wait for Disney+.”

A level-headed response, considering Marvel’s recent track record. Big action scenes are cool, but are they enough to bring fans back to theaters? That remains to be seen.

And of course, no viral moment is complete without a little shade. Someone else chimed in with, “You need to learn what cold means.” Ouch. Guess not everyone was feeling the chills from Sam Wilson’s latest stunt.

Whether you love it, hate it, or are just here for the memes, Sam Wilson’s missile-surfing moment is already cemented as one of the wildest things we’ve seen in the MCU. It’s ridiculous. It’s over the top. And honestly? It’s kind of perfect.

Marvel fans will keep debating whether this scene is iconic or just plain excessive, but one thing’s for sure, Steve Rogers may not be around to see it, but his legacy is not in safe hands. And maybe that’s exactly what makes it fun.
