Betty Ross is a scientist in the MCU, and Tyler’s return to the franchise comes at a time when the universe is expanding, with new characters and storylines being introduced in each new film.
The Captain America franchise has been a cornerstone of the MCU, and Tyler will be joining Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson/Captain America, in the new film.
The plot of Captain America: New World Order is still under wraps, but it has been revealed that Harrison Ford will take on the role of Thaddeus Ross, now President of the United States. This comes after William Hurt’s passing in March 2022.

Captain America: New World Order will be directed by Julius Onah, with a screenplay by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson. Kevin Feige and Nate Moore are producing the film, which also stars Carl Lumbly, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, and Tim Blake Nelson.
