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." This film marks a pivotal moment as Sam Wilson, now fully embracing his role as Captain America, teams up with both new and familiar faces, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers, anticipated to lead in the upcoming "Doomsday" movie next year. Critic Tom Jorgenson, in his IGN review, expressed some frustration with "recycled MCU plotlines," yet praised Mackie for his nuanced portrayal of Sam Wilson, bringing depth to the character alongside seasoned actors like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances can overcome any narrative shortcomings is a question left for the audience to answer.
