Overview
Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Anthony Mackie, now in theaters, explores its political themes through President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford, who transforms into the Red Hulk. The film unfolds during a pivotal treaty summit regarding Adamantium when mind-controlled agents, reminiscent of current political tensions, attempt to assassinate him. As Sam Wilson battles the antagonist, Samuel Sterns, whose actions represent real-world presidential dilemmas, the film critiques governmental power and inadequacies amidst a lackluster reception. While it strives for relevance, the movie has faced scrutiny for repetitiveness and a diluted exploration of its narrative themes, reflected in poor box office performance.
