Captain America: Brave New World reflects the MCU’s most divisive film

The Captain America: Brave New World trailer sets up a big future for the MCU while also reminiscing about one of the MCU’s most controversial films.

Secret Invasion has been criticized as one of the most disappointing series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expectations were high for the Disney+ series, but it ended up being very bland and didn’t even contribute to the films immediately after, i.e. The wonders. There was a lot of consternation surrounding the Skrull angle and the whole idea of ​​alien spies.There were fleeting moments, like seeing the Skrulls as politicians, but nothing had a lasting effect. The fact that James “Rhodey” Rhodes was a Skrull was a key reveal, but the others, like the fact that Nick Fury’s wife was a Skrull, just seemed like a shock factor without doing anything to the plot.


Comic book fans were hoping that someone like U.S. President Ritson would be a Skrull, paving the way for him to be taken down and Ross to cut in line. Instead, Rhodey was turned into a generic terrorist intent on killing Ritson. Gravik was similarly presented as an extremist seeking to annihilate humanity, while G’iah was turned into a Super-Skrull to stop her species from destroying Earth. Nothing had any ramifications or nuances.This problem was aggravated by The wonders not showing Fury’s wife with him in space, or addressing how the same Skrulls that Fury and Carol Danvers brought to Earth turned against them and fueled xenophobia.


Had Secret Invasion If they had planted more Skrulls as heroes and villains to end the series, perhaps it would have redeemed itself.Instead, there was no surprise or awe. Everything seemed predictable, including G’iah’s attempt at shapeshifting to trick Gravik. One has to wonder why the idea of ​​shapeshifters being spies was downplayed to such a rudimentary thing. Especially after the comic event the series is based on had scale and scope, with Skrull spies in so many factions. While the source material was ambitious and weaponized the idea of ​​a spy, the show simply turned spies into hasty reveals and gunslingers or terrorists.

Esposito says fans will be excited about what his character brings to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Based on the images shown in the Captain America 4 Trailer: Marvel Studios appears to be getting back on track. It shows that spies will be crucial to the story ahead. There will be paranoia, doubts and trust issues throughout.It’s evident in how Isaiah Bradley is somehow driven to try to kill Ross. It could be that this former hero has issues with Ross’ politics or his military vision of the United States. But the trailer later reveals an experiment room that references Bucky Barnes’ brainwashing.

These jokes suggest that there are mind-controlled disruptors on the loose, Isaiah being one of them.Sam tells Ross that his inner circle is compromised and that he needs to listen to the new Captain America. This sows the seeds of conflict, as Sam doesn’t get the respect he’s rightfully earned and Ross is shown to be arrogant because he’s not Steve Rogers. It is anticipated that as this split occurs, Ross will be surrounded by more agents..


Some might be undercover agents, for example. The messenger of fearwho might not know they are being activated once they are nearby. That can distract the audience from the spies who know their intent: to harm Ross and his cabinet. This is the kind of cerebral and exciting game of cat and mouse. Secret Invasion It should have been like this, with unpredictable pawns on the chessboard at every turn. These shocking revelations look set to change the game.

Even though the characters may not be A-list, in the context of the film they will have a big impact. But above all, this intimate story will keep Sam close to the situation, keeping an eye on things and having to do detective work like he was Batman. Secret Invasion Fury, Talos, and G’iah all did this in spurts, but they never fully took advantage of the series’ paranoia and political potential, opting more for gunplay. Such a direction also helps Falcon learn the ropes in what will be a brilliant baptism of fire as an aspiring Avenger.

Why Fans Shouldn’t Worry About Captain America 4’s Reshoots

Captain America: Brave New World is currently undergoing reshoots, and based on Marvel Studios’ past, fans shouldn’t be worried about the final product.

The trailer for Captain America 4 has many tributes to The Winter SoldierFrom the science room to Sam jumping out of a window, the latter of which is a nod to Steve chasing a programmed Bucky out of his apartment after the attempted hit on Fury. Sam’s combat style is also very similar to Steve’s. It’s a smart move by the MCU to get back to basics. The Winter Soldier It is considered one of the funniest movies of all time, even outside the superhero realm.


The action sequences were fantastic, the hand-to-hand combat was captivating, and the twists and turns were diabolical. Examples include Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) being a Hydra plant in the role of Secretary of the World Security Council. There was also the Black Widow mask that disguised her in the council itself, and Arnim Zola being a digital ghost with secret information about history. It really showed how subterfuge could work for comic book movies which, at the time, typically relied on spectacle, invasions, and monsters.But that doesn’t mean Sam’s journey won’t have that.


The trailer shows the destruction of the White House and the MCU’s Red Hulk catching Cap’s shield. But The captain America The stories are best tempered by corrupt diplomacy, politics, and the workings of the military. This leaves the MCU exposed, making fans think a lot more and question the government. It’s a mental battle, not just a physical one. Spies contaminating the established order are the reason Steve didn’t fully trust Natasha or Fury, and why Sam realized Steve was the neutral leader to follow.

The allure of the spy game helped Sam dig deeper into the issue at hand with Hydra and understand that the real war was a battle of wills, philosophies, and people behind desks pushing pens. He Captain America Trailer number 4 focuses on that war machine, which will touch on themes such as capitalism, protests and exploitation.It’s all anchored by a secret invasion featuring what appear to be super soldiers rather than Hydra soldiers like Crossbones. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier The series hinted at this by making the super soldiers part of an arms race.


The Flag Smashers were rebels who openly manifested themselves as clear and present dangers. Enemies that even the U.S. Agent could see coming. However, as Sam and Joaquin move into a new era, they will have to dig deep and be very thorough about who they and the American people should trust. Ultimately, they have no idea how deep the new patriotic game runs, which will require them to be as diligent as they are world-brave in facing an unseen enemy.

Captain America: Brave New World will be released on February 14, 2025.
