  • Captain America: Brave New World, directed by Julius Onah, premiered in theaters on February 14, 2025, featuring Danny Ramirez as Falcon.
  • The film’s plot, influenced by The Manchurian Candidate, explores political manipulation but suffers from unclear storylines and weak character development.
  • Critics described it as a muddled mix of ideas that form a cautionary tale on American politics while resembling a television-level production.
  • The installment introduces a notable actor in a powerful role but offers limited time for protagonist development, resulting in one of the series’ weaker episodes.
  • Brave New World’s reception suggests the series is declining and could benefit from a fresh creative approach rather than relying on past formulas.
