Captain America: Brave New World – A New Era Begins

Five years after inheriting the shield, Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, takes center stage as Captain America. This new chapter introduces both familiar and fresh faces, hinting at the next generation of Avengers who will likely face Doomsday next year. While IGN critic Tom Jorgenson points out some recycled MCU plot elements, 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 a matter of personal preference.
