A brave new Captain America has entered the MCU battlefield as Marvel Studios kicks off 2025 with their latest chapter, where the new generation of Captain America confronts a different kind of "red scare."
Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World |
With Anthony Mackie taking over the shield as the new Captain America, Brave New World stars Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson.
In the first of the 2025 installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new Captain America's meeting with President Ross turned deadly. As tensions escalate to the brink of an all-out war, Captain America races against time to unmask the mastermind behind the attack.
Mackie's new purpose from the Black Falcon to the new Captain America is one of the shockers MCU fans are expecting in this exciting new chapter of the saga, a sign of things to come where familiar faces are repurposed with new roles. Although controversial, it works with huge dividends.
Regarding the movie, it is about as suspenseful as current US politics. Bringing Ford from the George Lucas universe into the Marvel universe as the President entangled in a deadly conspiracy is not much different from his experiences in the Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. It's as if the Marvel and Tom Clancy fandoms collide with thrilling results but still, it's one of the must-watch movies of the season right until the epilogue that signals what's next in the MCU.
It truly is a "brave new world" for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Conspiracy-driven politics, intense action, unexpected twists, and hints of what’s to come in the MCU are bravely encapsulated in this movie.
