Captain America: Brave New World may have gone through more extensive reshoots than any MCU movie before it. The superpowered Serpent Society was cut, all of The Leader's scenes were reshot after his appearance was redesigned, and Sidewinder was added as a new villain.

Those are just a few of the changes (another saw Red Hulk still free and keeping watch over Betty Ross from afar). We've seen promo art showing Isaiah Bradley wearing a costume, but that's now been fully revealed in a photo showcasing the movie's stunt team.

It's previously been reported that Isaiah and Sabra suited up to help Sam Wilson fight Red Hulk in the final battle. For whatever reason, Marvel Studios decided that the new Captain America should go it alone, and Bradley never got his superhero moment as a result.

There must have been something fundamentally wrong with the original cut of Captain America: Brave New World...

It doesn't matter what you think about superhero movies; there's no denying that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an incredible feat of storytelling and filmmaking prowess. The film franchise has produced some of the greatest action films of the past few years, including "Iron Man," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and "Black Panther," though it's not uncommon to hear criticism of the MCU movies after "Avengers: Endgame," given the series' overarching struggle to recapture the magic of the Infinity Saga. 

The MCU has, thus far, consisted of nearly 40 films (including 2025's "Thunderbolts*" and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps") and over 25 television series, so it's no surprise there's been a fair share of projects that haven't exactly resonated with audiences. While some of these films deserve more praise in the public eye, there are still good scenes, even those found amid the more unpopular moments in the MCU franchise.

Though this list is far from comprehensive,...

For almost 20 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has held an iron grip on pop culture. Releasing a Marvel flick was basically a license to print money. But although it's lost a little bit of social cache since then, for a long time MCU films were not just incredibly popular but remarkably consistent. 

This makes compiling a ranked list of Marvel movies particularly difficult: There are standout gems at the top and some that are a bit of a disappointment, but there's not a whole lot of daylight between the pictures vying for the middle spots. This is a testament to the Marvel machine -- there are very few out-and-out losers among its filmography. But which are the best? Pick up Thor's hammer, and get ready to disagree -- here are the MCU films, ranked.

If you missed Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) first outing as Cap in “Captain America: Brave New World” when it was in theaters, don’t worry: the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest blockbuster is soaring to Disney+ on May 28.

Starring Mackie and Harrison Ford, “Captain America: Brave New World” hit theaters on Feb. 14. It was the first “Captain America” film without Chris Evans at the helm, with Steve Rogers having passed the mantle down to Sam Wilson, his former partner the Falcon. Serving as a direct sequel to Disney+’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Brave New World” also features a new hero taking over the Falcon moniker: Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres, who was first introduced in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”

The new Captain America and the Falcon join forces to take on Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (Harrison Ford), a warmongering president whose quest to cure his...

Despite its mixed reception and less-than-stellar box office performance, Captain America: Brave New World is a solid first solo outing as the Sentinel of Liberty for Anthony Mackie, among many critics and fans. One industry name who credits Mackie's work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel is his Captain America predecessor, Chris Evans.

Speaking with E! News, Mackie revealed what Evans said about Brave New World and his performance in the superhero blockbuster. Though they haven't talked much due to their busy schedules, Mackie said he received a short but sweet text from Evans praising him and the film. "I haven't talked to him, I just got a text from him saying 'good job' and he loved the movie," Mackie said. "I haven't talked to him because we both been running around. He's in the middle of Europe somewhere working."

Mackie's Sam Wilson accepted the Captain America mantle from Evans'...

What did Steve Rogers actor Chris Evans think of Captain America: Brave New World? Sam Wilson actor Anthony Mackie has recently shared the details while out promoting his new animated pic, Sneaks.

Said Mackie, "I haven't talked to him, I just go a text saying, 'Good job,' and that he loved the movie. I haven't talked to him because we've both been running around. He's in the middle of Europe somewhere, working."

Was Mackie slyly alluding to Evans appearing in the next Avengers film, which is currently filming in London? If Steve Rogers does appear in the film, what do you think he'll say about Sam's performance as his handpicked successor?

And speaking of Avengers: Doomsday, Mackie recently took to social media to share with MCU fans that he was currently flying out to the set to begin filming.

Captain America: Brave New World sees legendary actor Giancarlo Esposito tap into his dark side as he portrays the villainous Seth Voelker/Sidewinder in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. Though excited to play the superhero blockbuster's big bad, he admits it was a "fierce role" for him, given the physicality involved.

In a Brave New World featurette (via ComicBookMovie), Esposito detailed his experience portraying Sidewinder and how he prepared for his role as the Serpent Society's gun-toting leader. "This role, for me, is a fierce role," he said. "This is a role where I'm not just silent, saying a couple of words, scaring you with my eyes. This guy is backing it up with his physicality."

Esposito stated he needed to "get in that kinda physical place where your body speaks louder than your words," going to Atlanta to do arms training and other work for four days to get...

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 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.

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.

Captain America: Brave New Worldchallenges the status quo of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the sprawling superhero franchise hurtles toward the end of the Multiverse Saga. Following Sam Wilson's struggle to maintain peace and order in a world seemingly on the verge of war, Brave New World firmly establishes its central character as the definitive successor to Steve Rogers and the new leader of the Avengers. Though Sam manages to stave off World War III, not everyone emerges from the events of Captain America 4 unscathed, including one character whose downfall could change the MCU forever.

Captain America: Brave New Worldis the thirty-fifth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one of its most impactful yet, helping to flesh out its fictional world more than any other installment post-Avengers: Endgame. It's no secret that the MCU has received swathes of backlash from critics and fans in Phase 4 and Phase 5--and Captain America 4 is no different. Critics were generally mixed on Brave New World, calling out the behind-the-scenes production troubles that resulted in a somewhat messy movie. However, fans have been much warmer to the latest MCU offering, hailing Sam Wilson's character arc among other things.

While fans have generally been kinder to the film than critics, they aren't without their complaints. One major criticism stems from the third-act battle between Captain America and the Red Hulk in Washington D.

Captain America: Brave New World may not be riding a huge red, white and blue wave to success. However, the latest big-screen effort from the Marvel Cinematic Universe sails past a few MCU films domestically as it ekes out as much box-office momentum as possible.

Via Collider, the latest Captain America sequel earned $5 million in domestic ticket sales despite recently losing its top spot on the box office chart to Robert Pattinson's Mickey 17 and facing new competition from Black Bag and Novocaine. Thanks to its latest tally, Brave New World has now earned $185.4 million in North American cinemas, passing three original MCU films in Ant-Man ($180 million), Thor ($181 million) and Black Widow ($183 million).

Brave New World is now closing in on the $400 million mark worldwide, having made $388.6 million in global ticket sales against its $180 million budget. While the film's solid return could reportedly put it on track to break...

The MCU continues to expand faster than many audiences can keep up with. Even with some big production changes in the past year and a slower release schedule, there seems to be a ton of universe or multiverse-building going on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Every new movie and show explores deeper comic lore and introduces new characters to the fold. Pretty soon every character under the sun will be lining up for a hero shot that is trying to top the climactic scene from Avengers: Endgame. The MCU is about to grow even more with the release of Captain America: Brave New World, and there's a key character audiences are wondering about.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and this Captain America adventure sees Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson, formerly known as Falcon, carrying the shield now that his pal Steve Rogers is retired. One of the villains he’ll be going up against is the Leader, a.k.a. Samuel Sterns, with Tim Blake Nelson reprising the character he previously played in The Incredible Hulk way back in 2008. Sterns will look a bit different than he did before – in the comics, the Leader character is known to have green skin and a deformed head. During an interview with Empire, Nelson revealed that he requested practical effects be used to create his character’s head.

Captain America: Brave New World sees Harrison Ford succeeding one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most recognizable actors, replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross. Though he's stepping in for a "wonderful actor" like Hurt, Ford insists his "ambitious" nature made him feel like the right fit for the role, despite not being a big Marvel buff.

Speaking with Empire, Ford addressed becoming "Thunderbolt" in the Captain America sequel, taking over as the new United States President in the MCU. Succeeding Hurt, who played Ross in The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Brave New World, the Avengers franchise and Black Widow, is no easy task for Ford, admitting he was "concerned" about taking the role. However, having been encouraged by several MCU stars and appreciating Hurt's work, Ford felt capable of assuming the part.

Speaking at the Disney Apac Content Showcase in Singapore, Mackie shared how he found out his MCU character, Sam Wilson/Falcon, would succeed Evans' Steve Rogers as Captain America. According to Mackie, he was watching a football game at Evans' house when Evans shared the last pages of the screenplay for the film they were working on at the time, Avengers: Endgame. Once Mackie saw the plan, he couldn't hide his excitement. When I read it, we just hugged each other and jumped around in a circle, he said.

Marvel Studios could introduce many more Hulk characters to the MCU after Red Hulk makes his much-anticipated debut in Captain America: Brave New World. Bruce Banner's Hulk has been at the center of the MCU since the franchise's start, but the gamma-irradiated Avenger is not the only Hulk-like character who has been adapted from Marvel Comics. In fact, there have been seven Hulk characters seen in the McU's live-action and animated projects, and 2025's upcoming Captain America: Brave New World will introduce a new one in the form of President Ross' Red Hulk.

The Red Hulk will seemingly be created by the Leader in Captain America: Brave New World, who was also enhanced after being exposed to Bruce Banner's gamma-irradiated blood. As well as these villains and Banner himself, Emil Blonsky's Abomination, Jennifer Walters' She-Hulk, Skaar, Todd Phelps' Hulk King and Happy Hogan's Freak have all been seen in the MCU.

Liv Tyler, despite her Lord of the Rings fame and Hollywood legacy, couldn’t escape one curse that seemed to follow her throughout her career. Even with her undeniable talent and screen presence, something always kept her from fully breaking through to Hollywood’s A-list. While she became a household name as the enchanting Arwen, the road to lasting success wasn’t as smooth as you’d expect for someone with her credentials.

Shang-Chi's director will helm the McU's Spider-Man 4 and I hope he repeats a storyline that made Shang-Chi one of Marvel's best recent films. The status of Tom Holland's next Spider-Man film has been unknown, but it received its biggest update recently with reports that Marvel hired Destin Daniel Cretton to direct the movie. Reports also shared that Holland and Zendaya are in talks about returning to their respective roles. Cretton is an excellent choice for Marvel's Spider-Man 4 as he was behind Shang-Chi, one of the best MCU movies since Avengers: Endgame.

Shang-Chi was one of the earliest films of Phase 4 and featured many distinct qualities that made it stand out. It had a great villain in Tony Leung's Wenwu, and many of the McU's best action scenes, filled with fast, well-choreographed martial arts. Another unique quality of Shang-Chi is the relationship between its two leads: Simu Liu...

After appearing in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, actor Tim Blake Nelson presumed his run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was over when the movie didn't end up getting a sequel.

In The Incredible Hulk, Nelson played Samuel Sterns, and his transformation into The Leader was teased the last time the character was shown. It was planned for The Leader to serve as a villain in a potential sequel, but problems behind the scenes with Bruce Banner actor Edward Norton put the kibosh on those plans. After having a falling out with Marvel Studios, Norton was replaced in the MCU with Mark Ruffalo taking over the role for the Avengers movies and other MCU projects.

Mackie, who starred alongside Holland in the last Captain America sequel, Civil War, said he "let the scope of what happened sink in" following his Comic-Con appearance before tagging Holland and claiming he was right that it feels "different when you go with your own movie."

Not all MCU films have done exceptionally well at the box office, but that does not mean that they are bad. Some low-grossing MCU films like Eternals and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have lessons for Marvel to learn from for future movies. Iron Man may not be a top-grossing MCU film, but it remains one of the franchise's best due to its impact and quality.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has released 34 films since the first Iron Man, and even though some of them did not do amazing numbers at the box office, that does not mean they are bad. With a franchise as big and long-lasting as the MCU, there are bound to be films that connect with audiences on a huge level that others simply cannot. Some of the McU's best movies, like Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home, turned out to be box office giants.

While the Hulk has been an integral part of the MCU, the character has not been able to receive the love and attention that he deserves thanks to his messed up distribution rights, which bar him from being a lead in a show without Disney having to split profits with Universal Studios.

Out of the three main films that Marvel Studios focused on at Sdcc yesterday evening, the film with the most moving parts just might be Captain America: Brave New World.

The film will introduce adamantium to the MCU and features the Leader, the Serpent Society, and Red Hulk. Not to mention, it seems Bucky wasn't the only brainwashed, former super soldier based on what happens to Isaiah Bradley in the film's first trailer.

While on the Sdcc press line, actor Tim Blake Nelson told Deadline that he was initially heartbroken when it became apparent that there wouldn't be a second, standalone Hulk movie. But in reality, he needed the time that passed in order to become an actor who could do justice to the character of the Leader.

"I had given up on coming back as The Leader and I despaired over that for a good 15 years. It was a...

“Captain America: Brave New World” electrified Comic-Con on Saturday with cast members Anthony Mackie, Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez and Giancarlo Esposito all hitting the San Diego fan event to tease the superhero sequel. But it was the late panel surprise arrival of Harrison Ford that left the biggest impact as the film icon took the Hall H stage to massive applause. Footage from the movie was screened during Marvel’s presentation and confirmed that Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross will, indeed, be transforming into the Red Hulk in the film. Ford gave the crowd exactly what they wanted, mimicking the Hulk’s mighty roar.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige called “Brave New World” a return to the gritty action of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which put a spandex spin on the kind of paranoid thrillers that were so commonplace in ’70s cinema, while Mackie teased that Marvel fans will...

Captain America: Brave New World's returning villain could be connected to Intelligencia from She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, according to a new theory. The Leader's involvement with the Intelligencia makes more sense of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law's controversial blood-focused storyline. The Leader could transform President Ross into the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World, perhaps introducing another tease of the McU's potential World War Hulk adaptation.

One Phase 4 series becomes very important to Captain America: Brave New World in a far-reaching MCU theory that could hint at huge storylines for the franchise's future. While Captain America: Brave New World, releasing in February 2025, will put Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson front-and-center as the new Star-Spangled Man-with-a-Plan, the movie is also set to expand the universe of another iconic Avenger: Bruce Banner's Hulk. Captain America: Brave New World's cast features several returning characters from The Incredible Hulk,...

Captain America: Brave New World's first teaser trailer has confirmed that the Red Hulk will be debuting in the Phase 5 movie. It's unclear why President Ross would become the Red Hulk, but one theory suggests this is the result of the Leader's revenge plot against him. This wild MCU theory centers on Betty Ross' potential demise in Captain America: Brave New World, explaining Liv Tyler's return to the MCU after 16 years.

It's finally been confirmed that the Red Hulk will debut in Captain America: Brave New World, and a new MCU theory could explain exactly how this major Marvel villain is born. Following the tragic passing of William Hurt in 2022, Harrison Ford was revealed to have been cast as Thaddeus Ross ahead of the character's return in the McU's Phase 5. The first teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has confirmed that, 16 years after the character's debut in the MCU,...

Hulk & Bruce Banner's relationship hits an all-time low in The Incredible Hulk #14 - surprising reason for their animosity unveiled. Betty Ross plays a major role in why Hulk despises Banner, betraying Hulk's love for Betty and causing irreparable damage. Hulk's hatred stems from Banner's attempt to erase Betty's gamma alter-ego without her consent.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for The Incredible Hulk #14! The relationship between Bruce Banner and the Hulk in Marvel Comics has never been worse than it is right now. While fans have had a pretty good idea as to why that is throughout the latest run of The Incredible Hulk, it wasnt until the most recent issue that the real reason for the animosity between them came to light. That reason is a decidedly unexpected one, and utterly unforgivable.

Mark Ruffalo's absence from Captain America: Brave New World could be for the best, allowing Sam Wilson's debut as the new Captain America to shine. Including Banner in the story may lead to a Hulk vs Red Hulk fight that would take away from Captain America's own teased battle with the Red Hulk. Ruffalo's Hulk has been a side-hero for too long in the MCU, and including him in Captain America: Brave New World would continue this trend.

Mark Ruffalo reportedly won't appear alongside other Hulk characters in Captain America: Brave New World, but his absence may be for the best. Despite being the fourth chapter in the Captain America series, the upcoming 2025 MCU sequel features many returning characters from 2008's The Incredible Hulk. One familiar face is Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who has a new role in the MCU timeline as President of the United States. The Leader...

The McU's latest recast echoes previous changes, such as Don Cheadle stepping in for Terrence Howard as War Machine in Iron Man 2.

Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters on February 14, 2025, marking the first leading film role for Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson since taking over the mantle of Captain America from Steve Rogers.

Captain America 4 is a sequel to 2 MCU films, featuring familiar characters like Harrison Ford's President Ross and Tim Blake Nelson's The Leader. Brave New World continues the story from Captain America: Civil War, focusing on the U.S. government's association to the Captain America mantle. The film is also a secret sequel to The Incredible Hulk, tying up loose ends with returning characters, including Liv Tyler's Betty Ross and Samuel Sterns as The Leader.

Captain America: Brave New World is the follow-up to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but it's also a surprising sequel to two older MCU films. Captain America 4 is Sam Wilson's first project with the official Captain America moniker after adopting it in the previously mentioned Disney+ series. As seen in the first Brave New World trailer, the film also continues the stories of Isaiah Bradley, a redeemed secret super soldier,...
