Summary

The shield is back in action! Mike is joined by Chris Stachiw of The Kulturecast to take on Captain America: Brave New World (2025), the latest chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Anthony Mackie stepping into the role of Captain America, the film explores Sam Wilson’s challenges as he navigates political intrigue, old enemies, and new threats—including the return of Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns, now fully embracing his role as The Leader.

Directed by Julius Onah, this entry also introduces Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and teases the rise of the Serpent Society. But does Brave New World deliver a worthy continuation of the Captain America legacy, or is it another symptom of the MCU’s growing pains? Mike and Chris dissect the film’s storytelling, action sequences, and its place within the ever-expanding Marvel mythology.
