Captain America: Brave New World - Streaming Release and Showtimes Revealed

Over five years after Steve Rogers passed his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's Captain America is finally taking center stage. In Captain America: Brave New World, Sam Wilson, now fully embracing his role as Captain America, teams up with both new and familiar faces, potentially setting the stage for the new generation of Avengers who will lead in the upcoming Doomsday next year. Critic Tom Jorgenson, in his review for IGN, expressed some frustration with "recycled MCU plotlines," yet he also praised Mackie's performance, noting how he "brings each side of Sam’s personality to life well against seasoned scene partners like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson." While solid performances can elevate a film, whether they're enough to overcome familiar plotlines is up for debate.

Captain America: Brave New World Streaming Release Date

Brave New World will eventually be available to stream on Disney+, rather than Netflix or Hulu. In 2024, both Deadpool & Wolverine and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 were available in theaters for about three months before becoming available on Disney+. If Brave New World follows a similar pattern, you can expect it to be streamable around May or June.

Brave New World continues to draw inspiration from Marvel Comics. Within the MCU timeline (currently in Phase 5), it follows The Marvels and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. However, the most pertinent plotlines stem from the Captain America films, The Avengers films, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Here's the official synopsis:

Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.
