Brave New World. Captain America: Brave New World marks a new beginning for the titular hero, as Anthony Mackie officially takes over the role for his first big screen mission carrying the shield. But he better get comfortable with the vibranium accessory fast because the post-credits scene teases his biggest battle(world) yet — and it's coming sooner than he realizes.

The screenplay of the latest movie in the MCU tries to be too many things to too many prior adventures, but at its core is a resonant story about Black heroism.
