Over five years after Steve Rogers entrusted his iconic vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's portrayal of Captain America finally takes the spotlight in "Brave New World." This film sees Sam Wilson, now Captain America, teaming up with both new and returning heroes, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers poised to lead in "Doomsday" next year. IGN's critic, Tom Jorgenson, expressed some disappointment with the film's "recycled MCU plotlines," yet he praised Mackie for skillfully bringing Sam Wilson's multifaceted personality to life alongside seasoned co-stars like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances can elevate the movie above its narrative shortcomings is a question for audiences to answer.
