It’s complicated. The movie is staving off superhero fatigue. But it’s also a reason for The Fantastic Four to worry.

In another version of Brave New World, Sam would've become more directly connected to the looming MCU crisis. The post-credits scene of Captain America: Brave New World sure is…something, huh. Chances are you already know what it is, but if not, both it and what it could’ve been will be spoiled here.

Brave New World and why it felt so strange to me. It was meant to be an espionage thriller (spoilers follow) in the vein of The Winter Soldier, and yet there was no real conspiracy (no traitors, just a guy randomly mind-controlling people) and a twist that was given away in the first trailer (Ross turning into Red Hulk in the Rose Garden).

Given that two of Captain America: Brave New World's main characters were Sam Wilson and Joaquin Torres, and given that Bucky Barnes made a cameo too, the movie did have some obvious links to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, there could undoubtedly have been more.

Brave New World" doesn't live up to its name, breaking no new ground and falling into the same Marvel Cinematic Universe rut that most recent MCU films find themselves. In this offering, Sam Wilson is played by Anthony Mackie.

Sam Wilson as Captain America must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Spoiler alert! This article contains spoilers for Captain America: Brave New World. Marvel Studios is steadily building toward the X-Men’s long-awaited debut in the MCU, but Captain America: Brave New World may have already made one of the original members impossible to adapt.

The Incredible Hulk remains an underrated gem in the MCU, blending, tragedy and moral dilemmas in a way Captain America: Brave New World didn't.
