CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD

Director: Julius Onah
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Harrison Ford, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Giancarlo Esposito

It’s a big year for Marvel with three films coming out this year. Up first is Captain America: Brave New World, the first film that features Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America. Harrison Ford takes over in the role of Thaddeus Ross from the late William Hurt. Ross has been featured multiple times in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since The Incredible Hulk in 2008. This film picks up with Ross being elected as the new President of the United States. It’s a bold choice, and despite his slogan of “Together”, not everyone is happy with the results. Anthony Mackie is back as Sam Wilson who has been appointed the new Captain America, and Danny Ramirez is back as Joaquin Torres who sees himself as the “new Falcon.” Sam and Joaquin have been invited to the White House for a big event where Sam learns President Ross wants him to re-start the Avengers. They become witnesses to an assassination attempt against President Ross at the hands of Sam’s mentor, Isaiah Bradley. Carl Lumley reprises his role as Isaiah from The Falcon and Winter Soldier TV series. Sam knows Isaiah couldn’t have been behind this and thus traces this back to a man known as “The Buyer” who has a sinister revenge plot against the President. In theaters
