Captain America: Brave New World

Sam Wilson has stepped into the shield and the responsibility that comes with leading a new era of American defense. After a high stakes meeting with the recently elected President Thaddeus Ross, he finds himself pulled into a tense international flare up. A shadowy conspiracy threads together governments and corporations, and every move seems aimed at widening the divide between allies. With time running out, Sam must untangle who is pulling the strings and why, all while keeping his team and innocent civilians safe. As the layers of the plot peel back, the danger grows louder, and the line between ally and adversary blurs.

Directed by Julius Onah, Brave New World centers on the Captain America mantle with Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford as President Ross. The film draws on characters created by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby and Malcolm Spellman.
