Over five years after Steve Rogers handed his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's Captain America is finally stepping into the spotlight. In *Captain America: Brave New World*, the hero teams up with both new and familiar faces, paving the way for the next generation of Avengers set to lead in *Doomsday* next year. Despite critic Tom Jorgenson's concerns about "recycled MCU plotlines" in his IGN review, he praises 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." Whether these strong performances can overcome narrative familiarity is a question we'll leave for you to ponder.
