Captain America: Brave New World - Release Date and Streaming Options

Over five years after Steve Rogers passed his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's portrayal of Captain America finally takes center stage in "Captain America: Brave New World." This film sees the hero teaming up with both new and familiar faces, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers, poised to lead in "Doomsday" next year. Critic Tom Jorgenson, in his review for IGN, expressed some disappointment with "recycled MCU plotlines." However, he praised Mackie's performance, noting that "Mackie brings each side of Sam’s personality to life well against seasoned scene partners like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson." Are these strong performances enough to save the day? That's for you to decide.
