Five years after Steve Rogers entrusted Sam Wilson with his vibranium shield, Anthony Mackie's Captain America finally steps into the spotlight. The hero returns alongside both new allies and familiar faces, likely paving the way for the next-generation Avengers who'll confront Doomsday next year. IGN's Tom Jorgenson notes in his Brave New World review that while the film sometimes recycles MCU tropes, "Mackie expertly portrays Sam's multifaceted personality alongside veterans like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson." Will compelling performances alone save the day? That's for audiences to decide.
