One of the most divisive moments of Captain America: Brave New World was replicated almost shot-for-shot in 2024 and already proved why Sam Wilson never needed the super soldier serum that helped to define his MCU predecessor. Captain America: Brave New World has earned mixed reviews from critics but has caused a gulf between them and fans, with the latter being more favorable towards Sam Wilson’s first solo movie. This is despite an air of trepidation in the lead-up to its release threatening to tank the movie, though Captain America: Brave New World boasts a strong opening weekend.
