Five years after inheriting the shield, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America takes center stage in Brave New World. He’s joined by both familiar faces and exciting new heroes, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers, poised to face Doomsday next year. While critic Tom Jorgenson at IGN notes some recycled MCU plotlines, he praises Mackie’s performance, highlighting his ability to portray Sam’s multifaceted personality alongside seasoned actors like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances are enough to elevate the film is ultimately up to you.
