Captain America: Brave New World - Streaming Release and Theater Showtimes

Over five years after Steve Rogers handed over his iconic vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's portrayal of Captain America takes the spotlight in "Captain America: Brave New World." The film sees the hero collaborating with both new and returning characters, paving the way for the next generation of Avengers set to lead in "Doomsday" next year. While IGN critic Tom Jorgenson expressed some frustration with "recycled MCU plotlines," he praised Mackie for bringing "each side of Sam's personality to life well" alongside seasoned actors like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. The question remains: can these strong performances overcome familiar storylines? That's for you to decide.
