63: Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
"Captain America: Brave New World" is a 2025 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film featuring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, who has officially taken up the mantle of Captain America.
The film is set five months after Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford) is elected President of the United States. President Ross assigns Sam Wilson and Joaquin Torres—the new Falcon—to intervene in Oaxaca, Mexico, to prevent the illegal sale of classified items stolen by the mercenary group Serpent, led by Sidewinder. While Wilson and Torres successfully recover the items, Sidewinder escapes.
Subsequently, Sam meets with President Ross and becomes entangled in an international incident. He must uncover the reasons behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind causes worldwide chaos.
Following the events of "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) and the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" (2021), Steve Rogers retires as Captain America, passing his shield to Sam Wilson. Initially hesitant, Sam ultimately embraces the role, setting the stage for "Captain America: Brave New World."
Directed by Julius Onah, the film features a cast including Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Tim Blake Nelson as Dr. Samuel Sterns/The Leader, Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres/Falcon, and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. The movie was released on February 14, 2025, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
The film received mixed reviews. While Anthony Mackie's performance was praised, some critics felt the movie adhered too closely to Marvel's established formula without introducing fresh elements. But what did your three hosts think of this film? Well sit back, relax under a vibrant cherry blossom, grab some popcorn and a drink because today we’re deep diving into the newest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe cash-cow: Captain America: Brave New World.
