Captain America: Brave New World

Captain America: Brave New World is a pretty fun sequel to The Incredible Hulk (2008) that also gains heavily from having watched the more obviously relevant The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, once I stopped cringing at the fictional presidential message of togetherness.

The first appearance heavily shown in trailers and on the main poster takes a long time to arrive.

Another character was reworked pretty heavily from the comics version, likely for other real-life political reasons, and possibly adjusted during filming based on one appearance in a costume we never see without a coat covering it.

Nice work making the new Falcon a likable goof in-character instead of just a comic relief.

The phrase “even more indestructible.” Ouch.

Underwhelming end credits tease. But I also liked the kids in the audience rocking out to Kendrick Lamar over the end credits - he’s having a good 2025 so far.
