How to Watch Captain America: Brave New World - Showtimes and Streaming Release Date

More than five years after Steve Rogers entrusted his iconic vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, Anthony Mackie's Captain America is finally stepping into the spotlight. In "Captain America: Brave New World," the hero returns, joined by a mix of new and familiar faces, setting the stage for the next generation of Avengers, who are poised to lead in the upcoming "Doomsday" film next year. While critic Tom Jorgenson from IGN expressed some disappointment with the film's reliance on "recycled MCU plotlines," he also praised Mackie's performance, noting how he "brings each side of Sam’s personality to life well against seasoned scene partners like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson." Whether these solid performances can overcome the familiar narrative is a question left for audiences to answer.

Captain America: Brave New World Streaming Release Date

"Brave New World" will eventually be available to stream on Disney+, rather than on Netflix or Hulu. Recent MCU films like "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" were available in theaters for just over three months before streaming on Disney+. If "Brave New World" follows a similar pattern, you can expect it to be streamable around May or June.

"Brave New World" continues to draw from Marvel Comics for inspiration. Set within the MCU's Phase 5, it follows "The Marvels" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," but its most significant narrative threads are connected to the previous Captain America films, "The Avengers" series, and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." Here’s the official synopsis of the movie:

Sam finds himself at the center of an international incident after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. He must soon uncover the reason behind a sinister global plot before the true mastermind causes chaos worldwide.
