Captain America: Brave New World - Watch Now: Showtimes and Streaming Release

Over five years after Steve Rogers entrusted his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's Captain America finally steps into the spotlight in "Brave New World." This new chapter sees Sam Wilson's Captain America teaming up with both new and familiar heroes, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers poised to lead in the upcoming "Doomsday." While critic Tom Jorgenson from IGN expressed some disappointment with the film's "recycled MCU plotlines," he praised Mackie's performance, noting how he skillfully brings out the multifaceted nature of Sam Wilson's character alongside seasoned co-stars like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances can redeem the film's familiar narrative is a question we leave for you to answer.

Captain America: Brave New World Streaming Release Date

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

"Brave New World" continues to draw from the rich tapestry of Marvel Comics. Positioned in the MCU's Phase 5 timeline, it follows "The Marvels" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," but its core narrative threads are woven from the Captain America films, The Avengers series, and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." Here's the official synopsis:

Sam finds himself at the heart of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon uncover the reason behind a sinister global plot before the true mastermind plunges the world into chaos.
