Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World is now streaming on Disney+, giving those who decided to skip the movie in theaters - or who might want to give it another shot - the chance to watch Sam Wilson's first big-screen outing as the Sentinel of Liberty from the comfort of their couch.

Deadpool and Wolverine proved to be a much-needed box office jolt for Marvel/Disney, and also went over pretty well with fans and critics. Unfortunately, Brave New World wasn't quite able to keep the momentum going.

To be fair, the movie did end up passing $400 million worldwide (which didn't always seem likely), but with a budget that reportedly ballooned to over $200 million after extensive reshoots (not counting marketing costs), this must still be considered as a disappointing result. The critical reception was also mixed-negative, and the fourth Captain America movie is currently sitting at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 342 reviews.

Anthony Mackie steps into the title role for the fourth movie in the MCU’s Captain America series, following the events of TV’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, somewhat unexpectedly, the film also turns out to be a direct sequel to The Incredible Hulk, albeit one without Bruce Banner in it. The result, unfortunately, is something of a mixed bag.

Captain America: Brave New World opens with Sam Wilson (Mackie), the new Captain America, on a mission for the US government, led by newly elected President (and former Hulk hunter) Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford). When he finds himself slap bang in the middle of an international incident in which his friend Isiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) was apparently brainwashed,...

Marvel fans, mark your calendars! “Captain America: Brave New World” is set to stream exclusively on Disney+ starting May 28, bringing the thrilling action of the latest MCU blockbuster straight to your screens.

Anthony Mackie returns as Sam Wilson, now fully stepping into the iconic role of Captain America. Wilson is pulled into a high-stakes international crisis following a tense meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, portrayed by legendary actor Harrison Ford. As a dangerous global conspiracy unfolds, Wilson must uncover the truth and confront the formidable Red Hulk before chaos overtakes the world.

Joining Mackie and Ford is an impressive ensemble cast, including Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson, adding depth and star power to the exciting narrative.

Directed by Julius Onah, “Captain America: Brave New World” is produced by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige alongside Nate Moore.

Get ready to enter a new world in the MCU — at home. Disney and Marvel Studios have announced that Captain America: Brave New Worldwill begin airing on their flagship streaming service, Disney+, beginning on May 28. The film, starring Anthony Mackieas the titular Captain America, delves into the new Cap ahead of upcoming MCU films, and now audiences can view the Avenger's story at home.

The announcement, made by Disney+ on its social media channels, confirms that Brave New World will finally be available in an alternate format for at-home viewers; the reveal of the streaming date comes the same day that Brave New World will become available to purchase on 4K Blu-ray and DVD release. The film was also made available for digital purchase last month, but putting it on streaming gives people another way to view the film without an additional cost.

It is unsurprising that the film...

Another Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is making its way onto Disney+. Marvel Studios has just announced when Captain America: Brave New World will arrive on the Disney-owned streaming service.

Despite reports stating that the fourth Captain America movie would land on Disney+ today, the MCU blockbuster will actually premiere on the platform on May 28, roughly three and a half months after it debuted in theaters around the world. The movie's arrival on Disney+ comes just over a month after it hit Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Amazon, and other VOD platforms, and a mere two weeks after it was released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. Check out the Disney+ teaser trailer for Brave New World below.

The King of Kings has been playing in theaters for just over three weeks. After falling a stunning 9% during its second weekend, the animated biblical epic dropped a whopping 76% during its third weekend. Still, the Oscar Isaac-led film has collected $54.7 million at the domestic box office and $4.4 million internationally for a worldwide total of $59.1 million. This domestic total is enough to push The King of Kings past Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite to become the highest-grossing Korean film ever in the U.S. The King of Kings was written and directed by Seong-ho Jang, with Rob Edwards and Jamie Thomason also contributing to the script along with Hoseok Sung. It is also the second-highest-grossing movie ever for its distributor, Angel Studios.

The King of Kings kicked off its box office run with a strong $19.3 million debut, which was enough to earn it the #2 spot at the box office over...

In the latest animated tale from the directing team of Rob Edwards and Christopher Jenkins, a familiar yet fun world is revealed. The all-star Sneaks features the vocal talents of Anthony Mackie, Laurence Fishburne, Keith David, Macy Gray, Martin Lawrence, Rico Rodriguez, and many more. It tells the story of two designer sneakers that get separated after a creepy collector (Fishburne) steals them from a young man who won them. It’s a sweet and humorous look at friendship, separation, and sneakers.

We recently spoke to several of the cast members, and it was quite the treat. First up, I spoke with Anthony Mackie, and he really is one of the nicest guys around. He opened up about his first pair of sneakers. As well as taking a break from superheroes for this animated adventure. After that, I spoke with Rico Rodriquez, who took a liking to my Funko Pops collection.

“Sneaks” is a new animated comedy feature, directed by Rob Edwards and Chris Jenkins, starring Anthony Mackie, Martin Lawrence, Swae Lee, Chloe Bailey, Macy Gray, Ella Mai, Mustard, Roddy Ricch, Quavo, Young Miko, Amirah Hall, Kiana Ledé, Bobbito Garcia, Sam Jay, Sky Brown, Rayssa Leal, Rico Rodriguez, Keith David, Chris Paul and Laurence Fishburne, releasing now playing in theaters:

“…’Sneaks’ follows the adventures of ‘Ty’, a misguided designer running shoe, who doesn’t know life outside the comforts of his velvet-lined shoe box.

“But after his sister is stolen by a shady collector, Ty must venture into NYC to find and rescue her….

“…meeting a rag-tag group of footwear friends from all walks of life who help him find the courage to step outside of his shoe box and find his ‘sole-mate’…”

Update April 20, 2025: There’s a new box-office champion for the April 18-20 weekend. Ryan Coogler's Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, dominated the competition with a $45.6 million debut, securing the top spot. The vampire film not only exceeded projections but achieved something no other horror film has done before. As noted by Deadline, Sinners received an A grade from CinemaScore, the first time in the tracking firm's nearly 50-year history that a horror film has earned that rating from exit audiences. Lauded film and genre classics like A Quiet Place, The Lost Boys, and The Conjuring all managed A-minus scores. Not even the Oscar-winning Get Out could get higher than that. But Sinners, one of the best-reviewed films of the year and already drawing Oscar buzz, managed to make the grade, notching a new milestone.

Meanwhile, A Minecraft Movie — widely expected to win its third consecutive weekend — settled for second place with $41.3 million.

Sneaks, directed by Rob Edwards and Christopher Jenkins, opens with the sonic sprawl of New York City—subway rattles, street corner chatter, the ambient pulse of a city that rarely sleeps. Within this stylized urban sprawl, the film introduces a world where sneakers possess consciousness, emotion, and a fractured sense of purpose.

The conceit is knowingly absurd, and yet the movie treats it with earnest visual commitment, inviting its audience to follow a pair of gold-and-white Alchemy 24s, separated by theft and circumstance, across a city drawn with exaggerated lines and kinetic motion.

The central figures—Ty (Anthony Mackie), a self-serious sneaker convinced his destiny lies in permanent display; Maxine (Chloe Bailey), the spirited counterpart who insists on being used—carry the thematic weight of the film. Their voices are not merely animated; they echo the tension between preservation and purpose, between being admired and being worn. Supporting them are the slick-talking J.

The animated anthropomorphic shoe movie “Sneaks” reminds me a lot of Werner Herzog, and not just because one time he ate a freakin’ shoe.

The director of “Fitzcarraldo” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” also claimed that humanity was “starving for new images,” a challenge many filmmakers have taken to heart. I cannot say with absolute certainty that Herzog will think highly of a film in which a phalanx of living footwear marches through Central Park in the middle of the night as giant murder rats dart at them from the shadows, slaughtering each shoe one by one. But I’m pretty sure he’d have to concede that yes, this really is a new image. Well played, “Sneaks.”

“Sneaks” is the latest in a long line of films that wonder whether the little things we take for granted in life have feelings. “The Brave Little Toaster” argued that we...

The strangest thing about Sneaks, a new animated movie co-directed by Rob Edwards and Christopher Jenkins and written by Edwards (Captain America: Brave New World, The Princess and the Frog), isn’t that shoes become sentient beings, but that a stacked cast is squandered on such a plodding and predictable story.

Anthony Mackie, Martin Lawrence, Swae Lee, Laurence Fishburne, Chloe Bailey and Macy Gray, among many others, lend their voices to the footwear and people that populate this fictionalized New York City. And while their performances are solid, they lack the energy one might reasonably expect from such a talented ensemble.

The issues largely stem from a narrative reliant on, instead of merely riddled with, clichés. A story of a kid trying to achieve his dreams or a reunion between a shoe and his other half need not be deep, but it should feel inspired, whether through the animation or...

The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie has arrived on digital platforms. Beginning today (Apr. 15), fans can rent or purchase Captain America: Brave New World on Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Amazon, and other VOD platforms.

Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World marks Anthony Mackie's first time leading an MCU movie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, who in the movie finds himself at the center of an international incident following the election of Thaddeus Ross as the President of the United States and must work to stop the true masterminds behind it.Brave New World's arrival on digital platforms comes after an underwhelming run in theaters, where, after two months, the movie has grossed only $414 million worldwide. This is reportedly just under the $425 million needed for Marvel Studios to break even on the superhero blockbuster.

Three films centered on the life of Jesus Christ appeared in the domestic top ten over the weekend, led by the animated feature The King of Kings, which debuted with an estimated $19.3 million across 3,200 theaters. The release from Angel Studios ranks as the top opening ever for an animated faith-based film.

The film features Oscar Isaac as the voice of Jesus and was adapted from Charles Dickens’ The Life of Our Lord. Directed by Seong-ho Jang and co-written with Rob Edwards, The King of Kings follows a young boy who, through bedtime storytelling, imagines himself walking alongside Jesus and witnessing the key events of his life.

The voice cast includes Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Ben Kingsley as Caiaphas, Forest Whitaker as Peter, Mark Hamill as Herod, and Roman Griffith Davis as Walter Dickens. James Arnold Taylor provides additional voice roles,...

Captain America: Brave New World arrives at a time in MCU where the Og Avengers are dearly missed, “a bit of a low point,” to quote Deadpool. But that’s no measure to Sam Wilson aka new Cap’s (Anthony Mackie) leading abilities after all he’s been there right from the start. The character will return in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and he’ll be “running the show.”

After Sam Wilson got the shield handed over by Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in Avengers: Endgame, it took him some time to completely take over the mantle as we saw in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He came in his full Captain America avatar in the latest entry Brave New World. Writer of the feature Rob Edwards recently speculated where Sam Wilson’s story will take him next. "He's Captain America now, so arguably, he's running the show. I think that's the next step,...

Captain America: Brave New World is the latest big movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It stars Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America and Thunderbolt Ross, played by Harrison Ford.

The film came out in February 2025 after being delayed due to the Hollywood strikes. While it made over $400 million at the box office, reactions have been mixed. Some fans and critics enjoyed the action and performances, while others felt the story was messy and the special effects looked unfinished.

The movie currently holds a “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes at 49%, but the audience score is much better sitting at a comfortable 79%.

Captain America: Brave New World puts Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson in the forefront for the first time as the Sentinel of Liberty as he takes on the latest twists in the long-running Multiverse Saga. With the film setting up Wilson to be the new leader of the Avengers, the Captain America sequel's co-screenwriter feels that he's "running the show" as he prepares for the events of Avengers: Doomsday.

Speaking with ComicBookMovie.com, Brave New World scribe Rob Edwards addressed Wilson's future as Captain America following his first big-screen outing as the titular supersoldier. The Captain America follow-up teased its eponymous hero as the leader of the rebuilt Avengers, who haven't been seen together since Endgame, with Wilson rallying the troops following the death of Tony Stark/Iron Man and others. Edwards believes Wilson has shown he's ready to take on such a big mantle.

Rob Edwards wrote animated classics like Treasure Island and The Princess and the Frog before making the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Captain America: Brave New World. 

His newest movie is Angel Studios' King of Kings (you can watch the trailer below), and we recently had the good fortune to sit down with Rob and learn more about telling that epic story. As well as explaining how his past work prepared him for the project, he told us about the incredible cast and how animation was used to bring his script to life. 

Talk did eventually turn to Captain America: Brave New World, and we wondered how the writer felt about the significant changes made to the story during reshoots.  

"It's part of the process. There's this wealth of...there's so many comic books, so many thoughts. Everything takes these different roads and, at the end, you just have to make some choices,...

Angel Studios' first animated feature, The King of Kings, is poised to steal a box office crown when it opens in theaters this weekend. The faith-based epic, starring Oscar Isaac in the role of Jesus Christ, seemingly has the blessing of cinemagoers, as the movie has already amassed $14.6 million in pre-sales, according to Deadline. Its early box-office performance puts it in pole position for the best-ever opening for an animated Biblical movie, breaking a record held by DreamWorks Animation's The Prince of Egypt ($14.5 million) for the past 27 years.

In addition to toppling The Prince of Egypt's animated retelling of the Book of Exodus, The King of Kings has surpassed the advance ticket sales of Angel Studios' biggest hit, Sound of Freedom, which went on to make over $250 million at the worldwide box office. The studio's latest offering is supported by a special "Kids Go Free" campaign that allows cinema...

A new gag reel from behind the scenes of the latest MCU sequel, Captain America: Brave New World, shows what happens when Harrison Ford gets angry...and it’s hilarious. The Star Wars actor joined the world of Marvel this year, taking over the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross following the passing of William Hurt. Now President of the United States, Ross finds himself becoming part of the superhero world more than ever after transforming into the Red Hulk. Something that Ford had to act out on set. As you’d expect, the memes practically make themselves.

You can check out the gag reel from Captain America: Brave New World below, which also finds the likes of Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, and more in some pretty uncomfortable positions as they work hard to bring the wonders of the MCU to life on the big screen. The standout though is acting veteran Harrison Ford,...

After a bumpy ride through production, Captain America: Brave New World reached theatres on February 14th – and over the last two months, it has earned about $413 million at the global box office. Now, SuperHeroHype has learned that the film is set to receive a digital release next week, on April 15th, with the 4K Uhd, Blu-ray, and DVD release to follow on May 13th.

The film went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. In December of ’23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, which seemed to be quite substantial. It was said that the reshoots were primarily done to rework three major action sequences – and this included adding Giancarlo Esposito into the mix as Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society, while also dropping a Serpent Society character that was played by wrestler Seth Rollins.

Here’s the official information on the film,...

The Direct spoke with the cast and filmmakers behind Angel Studios' upcoming animated film The King of Kings at WonderCon.

The movie follows Charles Dickens as he narrates the story of Jesus Christ to his son, with the animation allowing audiences a unique window into the tale as those stories come alive around Dickens and his son.

The talent we spoke to included Fred Tatasciore (Pharisee Eleazar), James Arnold Taylor (Melchior and multiple others), Jamie Thomason (Casting Director), Seong-Ho “Jay” Jang (Director & Writer), Woo-Hyung Kim (Cinematographer), and Rob Edwards (Co-Screenwriter).

One of the writers onCaptain America: Brave New World is pushing back against some of the negative reviews the movie has received. Captain America: Brave New World opened in theaters on Feb. 14, 2025 and was certainly not the big start to 2025 that Marvel Studios was likely hoping for, as it garnered a 48% rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes — making it only the third MCU film to get a rotten rating alongside 2021's Eternals (47%) and 2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (46%). For what it's worth, the audience's reaction was mixed with positivity.

Speaking with The Direct, screenwriter Rob Edwards explained why he thinks critics missed the market on Captain America: Brave New World. Edwards is one of five credited screenwriters on the fourth Captain America movie, and also has a story by credit in the film. When asked if he was surprised by the difference in audience reaction compared to critical reaction, Edwards...

Captain America: Brave New World continues the Marvel Cinematic Universe's string of polarizing post-Avengers: Endgame releases, with the superhero sequel earning mixed reviews from critics as its theatrical run nears its end. As the Valentine's Day release keeps getting little love from film buffs, one of its writers believes they "got it wrong" with their reviews.

Speaking with The Direct during WonderCon, Brave New World co-screenwriter Rob Edwards addressed the negative feedback from critics following the MCU blockbuster's release this past February. The Captain America sequel has a 48% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes and one of the worst marks for an MCU movie on CinemaScore. When asked if the reception was what he expected, Edwards said, "I kinda did, kinda didn't. I think similar things have happened... with a lot of different projects. It was weird to me, because some of my friends who are critics, I said, 'I think you guys missed it.

Deadpool and Wolverine proved to be a much-needed box office jolt for Marvel Studios, and also went over pretty well with fans and critics. Unfortunately, Captain America: Brave New World wasn't quite able to keep the momentum going.

Though the movie did recently pass $400 million worldwide (which didn't always seem likely), the critical reception was mixed-negative, and the fourth Captain America movie is currently sitting at 48% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 331 reviews.

Brave New World does have its defenders, but it's probably fair to say that the movie hasn't resonated with the Marvel faithful in a way those involved with bringing the film to the screen will have been hoping for.

While speaking to The Direct at WonderCon over the weekend, one of the movie's six credited writes, Rob Edwards, was asked if he was surprised by the critical response.

"I kinda did, kinda didn't. I think similar things have happened.

Marvel Studios writer Rob Edwards disagrees with Captain America: Brave New World's critics, saying, "You guys missed it."

Captain America 4 opened to lackluster critical reviews, receiving a 'Rotten' critic approval score on Rotten Tomatoes (now at 48%). However, general audience members were more in favor of the sequel, resulting in a 79% audience score on the review consensus site.

Anika Noni Rose is breaking her silence over Disney’s decision earlier this month not to move forward with Tiana, an animated musical series offshoot of The Princess and the Frog movie set for Disney+.

First announced in December 2020, the project was expected to feature Rose reprising her role as Tiana from the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, which revolved around Disney’s first Black princess.

“Last week an announcement was made regarding the cancellation of the series, Tiana,” she began in a statement shared on Instagram. “I’ve been getting loads of messages expressing kindness, support and overwhelming disappointment.”

“I too am deeply disappointed that the continuation of Tiana’s journey in series form has been cut short,” adding that the highly anticipated series adaptation had been a “long time coming” and involved “a lot of beautiful work was put into it by all the creatives involved.”

“As...

In 2009, Disney premiered The Princess and the Frog, introducing Tiana, the first black princess. The animated film was a modest success, and it was expected to continue as a TV series.

Disney announced plans for a television spin-off titled Tianain December 2020. Anika Noni Rose, who voiced the lead character in the 2009 animated film, was confirmed to return to reprise her role. A few days after Disney officially shelved the series, Rose shared her disappointment in an Instagram post.

"Last week an announcement was made regarding the cancellation of the series, Tiana. I've been getting loads of messages expressing kindness, support, and overwhelming disappointment," Anika Noni Rose's message began. "I've also been asked by different outlets to make a statement, but I'd rather talk to you directly."

The series was a long time coming, and a lot of beautiful work was put into it.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has decided not to move forward with Tiana, an animated musical series offshoot of The Princess and the Frog movie set for Disney+, Deadline has confirmed.

While Disney did not respond to request for comment today over the Tiana series cancellation, sources confirm that going forward neither animation studio will be providing long form content for Disney +.

With a Tiana original special now the focus, we hear, it seems that creatively a Tiana series had been going nowhere fast for several years. That creative funk was why all we’ve seen the past four years is a single image from the proposed Tiana series.

First announced in December 2020, the project was expected to feature Anika Noni Rose reprising her role as Tiana from the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, which revolved around Disney’s first Black princess.

“Sound of Freedom” distributor Angel Studios has released a new trailer for “The King of Kings.” Based on the book “The Life of Our Lord” by Charles Dickens, the sweeping animated feature chronicles the life story of Jesus Christ.

Oscar Issac will voice Jesus and star alongside Kenneth Branagh (Charles Dickens), Uma Thurman (Mrs. Dickens), Mark Hamill (Herrod), Pierce Brosnan (Pontius Pilot), Roman Griffin Davis (Walter Dickens), Forest Whitaker (Peter) and Ben Kingsley (High Priest Caiaphus).

The film’s official logline reads: “A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. ‘The King of Kings’ invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.”

Chicago – In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Iron Man may have started it all, but it was Captain America who provided the beating heart that carried it through and helped broaden it beyond just Tony Stark snark. These days, as Marvel movies have been a little lost at sea, this first Captain America movie since “Civil War” operates as a bit of a back-to-basics reset.

Taking over the shield for Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America is still a little wary of his new role … working for the government and one time adversary, Thaddeus Ross, who is now U.S. President. President Ross is trying to negotiate an international treaty, but things go haywire when “super soldier” Isiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) tries to assassinate him in the White House. In the span of about three minutes, Captain America figures out it’s a case of mind control, and sets...

This fourth installment in the Captain America series promises to thrust Wilson into an international incident that will test his mettle as the star-spangled Avenger.

Directed by Julius Onah, the film is set to explore Wilson’s journey as he navigates the complexities of being Captain America in a world still adjusting to the aftermath of previous MCU events. The story, penned by a team of writers including Rob Edwards, Malcolm Spellman, and Dalan Musson, is expected to present a more grounded approach compared to recent Marvel offerings.

Love Hurts (February 7) Credit – Universal Pictures

Love Hurts is an upcoming action comedy film directed by Jonathan Eusebio from a screenplay co-written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore. The upcoming film follows Marvin Gable, a hitman who left his life violence behind to become a successful realtor, but when his past comes knocking back, he must fight to protect his new life.

Anthony Mackie recently took to Instagram to address the reaction to his comments about what Captain America represents.

Posting on his Instagram Story, Mackie wrote, “Let me be clear about this, I’m a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like [Captain America] is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. [Captain America] has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to.”

This statement comes after an interview in Rome, where Mackie, while promoting Captain America: Brave New World, shared his thoughts on the character. He explained that Captain America represents qualities like honor, dignity, and trustworthiness but suggested that “the term ‘America’” should not be one of those representations. His comments sparked debate online, with some questioning his take on the superhero’s identity.

“Let me be clear about this, I’m a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like [Captain America] is the honor of a lifetime,” Mackie wrote on his Instagram Story. “I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. [Captain America] has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to.”

Over the past 24 hours, Mackie drew criticism for comments made during an onstage interview in Rome. While promoting his new film “Captain America: Brave New World,” Mackie said that Cap “represents a lot of different things,” but “the term ‘America'” is not one of them.

“For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations,” Mackie said “It’s about a man who keeps his word,...

With Captain America: Brave New World set to hit theaters in just over two weeks, writer Rob Edwards - who worked on the script along with Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, Peter Glanz and director Julius Onah - has taken to social media to hype up the next MCU movie.

"This movie was a ton of fun to write," Edwards posted on Instagram. "The Marvel sandbox is unparalleled, and the producers there are the best and the brightest. The movie comes out next month, but advanced tickets are on sale now. I can’t wait for you guys to see it. I’m hoping this movie will be to young men what The Princess and the Frog was to young women."

Though Edwards doesn't directly compare Brave New World to The Princess and the Frog, the reference has raised a few eyebrows. While this mention might seem a bit random, it's...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has hit some speed bumps recently. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels under-performed at the box office and some of the Disney+ shows were poorly received… but the universe rebounded with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine last year, and the next addition to the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14th. With that date just a few weeks away, a first look featurette has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above. In this featurette, star Anthony Mackie says Captain America: Brave New World is an “old school Marvel” film.

Captain America: Brave New World went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June.

A new year means new entries for the Marvel Cinematic Universe are on the way. First up will be Anthony Mackie taking center stage as the new Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World. The movie went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. But in December of ’23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, and those reshoots seemed to be quite substantial, lasting from May 2024 through November.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and this one is going to be keeping viewers in theatres for a shorter time than previous films in the Captain America franchise have. Theatre listings have revealed that Captain America: Brave New World has a running time of 118 minutes, so it comes in at 6 minutes shorter than Captain America: The First Avenger (124 minutes), 18 minutes shorter than Captain America: The Winter Soldier (136 minutes), and 30 minutes shorter than Captain America: Civil War (148 minutes). While it ranks on the lower end of Marvel Cinematic Universe running times, there are several MCU movies that are shorter than 118 minutes: The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and The Marvels.

Even with all the reported reshoots and reworking plaguing the production and delaying the release, the brand recognition of Captain America and an added element of Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk being promoted, the movie is still being projected to make some coin on its opening weekend.

Mel Gibson is not the only one who is interested in bringing Jesus Christ's story back to theaters. VFX expert Seong-ho Jang has gathered a star-studded cast for his directorial debut, The King of Kings, which follows Jesus' story in an animated film.

A new teaser for the upcoming film, shared by Discussing Film, which is set for release ahead of Easter this year, has just debuted Oscar Isaac's voice for Jesus Christ. The Primetime Emmy-nominated actor will play the main character in Seong-ho Jang's animation which is loosely inspired by Charles Dickens' short story The Life of Our Lord. The animated family film comes from the South Korean animation house Mofac Animation.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and wrestler Seth Rollins has confirmed that his role has been cut out of the film.

Captain America: Brave New World went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. In May, Rollins was spotted on set and appeared to be playing a member of the villainous Serpent Society. But in December of ’23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, and those reshoots seemed to be quite substantial, lasting from May 2024 through November. We know that the story still involves the Serpent Society; in fact, the reshoots added Giancarlo Esposito into the mix as Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society… but for some reason, Rollins’ character no longer fit into the reworked story.
