Brave New World’ Draws Mixed Reactions

]

Is Captain America: Brave New World in trouble? The first reviews for Anthony Mackie’s return to the MCU suggest reception may not be as clear cut as expected.

There’s been a lot of worry in recent months over Captain America: Brave New World. While the drama stems back to the film’s initial announcement as Captain America: New World Order, almost every piece of news since then has had fans convinced Anthony Mackie’s first outing as the Sentinel of Liberty will be the MCU’s next flop. From reshoots, to poor test screenings, and even the inclusion of some controversial heroes.

Some initial reviews certainly seem to prove that these fears were warranted. A number of critics who got to see early screenings of Captain America: Brave New World empty, with the only bright spots being provided by Anthony Mackie’s performance as the titular hero. The film has also been criticized by serving more as a vehicle to push the MCU’s story forward than a standalone story about Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America.

Is Captain America: Brave New World All Bad?

However, there is another side of the coin to these early reviews. While many critics have large issues with Captain America: Brave New World, just as many consider the project a return to form for the MCU. While Anthony Mackie continues to be a standout in the film, the action takes front-and-center prominence in these reviews, along with highlighting the cohesion of the film with many of the studios’ past projects.

While there’s no accounting for taste with these reviews, it seems Captain America: Brave New World is shaping up to be a rather inoffensive movie with good action that fails to reach the heights of prior installments in the series. The only consistent note is that Anthony Mackie gives his all with the film, proving himself as one of the best leading men in the industry.

Captain America: Brave New World is currently slated to hit theaters on February 14, 2025. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
