"Captain America: Brave New World - Release Dates and Streaming Options"

Over five years after Steve Rogers passed his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's Captain America finally takes center stage in "Captain America: Brave New World." The film introduces both new and familiar heroes, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers that will lead in "Doomsday" next year. While critic Tom Jorgenson of IGN expressed some frustration with "recycled MCU plotlines," he praised Mackie for bringing "each side of Sam’s personality to life well against seasoned scene partners like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson." The question remains: Are these strong performances enough to save the day? That's for you to decide.

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

"Captain America: Brave New World" continues to draw inspiration from Marvel Comics. Set within Phase 5 of the MCU, it follows "The Marvels" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," but its most relevant plotlines are carried over from the Captain America movies, The Avengers movies, and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." Here’s the movie’s official synopsis:

Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.
