Captain America: Brave New World 2025

After a brief break and a catch up of Falcon and the Winter Soldier I’m ready to get back to my MCU catch-up with the new Captain America. I know I didn’t hear a whole lot of positivity about this movie when it first came out, mainly negative to middling reviews but I thought it was a fun movie that struggled a bit with identity issues. And yet, that in and of itself fits right into the character development of Sam’s Cap. I will also say that it was absolutely the right move for me to watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier before watching this movie. I’m not sure if I would have been a little lost, but the context of that show goes a long way towards understanding where this movie fits into the timeline which still feels a like a weird concept to a certain extent to have a movie be a sequel to a TV series. The show introduces two important characters: Joaquin and Isaiah Bradley and I’m not sure how well they were introduced in this film to someone who hadn’t watched that show. The other interesting connection is how it goes all the way back to the Incredible Hulk movie, bringing back three characters and plot points from that movie.
