Captain America: Brave New World Review – This Winter Soldier-Like Entry Fails To Push The MCU Forward
For those who’ve felt that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has drifted too far from its roots and become hard to appreciate, “Brave New World” promises to be a welcome change, offering a refreshing sense of simplicity. It shares some similarities with the Russo brothers’ work on “Winter Soldier,” creating a deliberate echo in style. However, for those expecting more than just nostalgic references — a 2025 film that pays homage to a 2014 film, which itself was a tribute to the 1970s — “Brave New World” might not meet expectations. The same criticisms of post-“Avengers: Endgame” films persist, but they might have been more tolerable if this were a self-contained movie rather than a patchwork of past elements.
