How to Watch Captain America: Brave New World - Showtimes and Streaming Release Date

Captain America: Brave New World – A New Era Begins

Over five years since Steve Rogers's passing of the shield, Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, takes center stage as Captain America. This new chapter introduces both familiar and fresh faces, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers, poised to tackle the looming threat of Doomsday next year. While IGN critic Tom Jorgenson acknowledges some reliance on familiar MCU plot devices, he praises Mackie's performance, highlighting his ability to convincingly portray Sam's multifaceted personality alongside veteran actors like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances are enough to elevate the film is ultimately up to the viewer.
