CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD First Reactions Are In Following World Premiere

Marvel Studios held the world premiere of Captain America: Brave New World in Hollywood tonight, and the first social media reactions to the latest MCU movie have been shared online...

The world premiere of Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World took place in Hollywood tonight, and the first wave of social media reactions are just starting to come in.

So far, the reactions are a bit of a mixed bag - which could be very telling. Usually, the initial response to any Marvel film is mostly very positive, and we tend to have to wait until the full reviews for a more balanced idea of what to expect.

Some do have high praise for Sam Wilson's (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen outing as Cap, but the general feeling seems to be that Brave New World is... just okay.

One thing most critics do seem to be able to agree on is that Mackie proves himself a worthy successor to Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, even if he's let down by certain other aspects of the story (it sounds like the villainous Leader might be a bust).

Have a read through the X posts below, and we'll continue to update as more come in.

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Captain America: Brave New World also stars Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. The film is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.

Washington Post entertainment reporter Herb Scribner praised “Brave New World” on X, calling it an “Absolute Blast. All-in on the story. It just checked so many boxes for me. Felt like an MCU movie where other projects actually matter again. Lots of cohesion.”

@AllsNotGood - You'll be disappointed. If the characters in Cap 4 are all about gamma radiation, they should've called the Hulk.

And Sam is worthy to be the leader of the Avengers when he....used his wings to fend off Red Hulk's and convinced him to be good by reminding him of Betty. With that logic, Thor can actually be the leader of the Avengers.

There will be people praising Captain UnAmerican.

Not because they think it's good.

They just want the cred of being invited to Disney premieres. They get perks for praising Disney movies and shows.

None of them believe all the things they say.

Marvel is back! Cap is back! Julius Onah's #BraveNewWorld is a more ground-level MCU film that's heavy on action and full of political intrigue. It excels in its Red Hulk and its many hand-to-hand (or hand-to-shield) fight sequences. Love the bromance between Cap and Falcon, too.

Let's have a real mini conversation.

What are some of your hobbies and interests?

What are some music artists or songs you like?

What are some of your favorite comic book movies released before 2000?

@MakeAmericaGrea - It’s funny how you frame this as a “real mini conversation” when it’s obvious you’re just probing for things to judge people on. You’re not interested in actual discussion - you’re just trying to see if someone checks the “wrong” boxes so you can dismiss them. It’s a pretty transparent and shitty way to engage.

If you actually wanted to have a real conversation, you wouldn’t need to size someone up first like you’re running a purity test.

Yo Double D, just wanted to make sure our bet is still on for tonight. If Mark Ruffalo or his Hulk make an appearance I’ll send you $200.

good enough for me and what ive been hearing mostly is this feel like an MCU movie before endgame.

No way. Many people will happily say it's too progressive to be like that.

@MakeAmericaGrea - When was the last time you left your house? Have you taken your meds today? You seem to have a big problem with a black captain America due to your low intelligence or high-level immaturity. Here’s some advice pluco go watch housewives of Atlanta. Comicbook/superhero movies are not for you because you can’t hack them the truth hurts but you already knew that.
MakeAmericaGrea

@CaptainAwkward -

Judging by your spelling and other errors you don't seem bright.

"Here’s some advice pluco..."

What is pluco? Pluto?

You didn't capitalize the b in Black. Are you racist?

"Comicbook". Two words. Comic book.

Can you name all the continents? No cheating.

MakeAmericaGrea - 2/12/2025, 3:28 AM
@CaptainAwkward -

"captain America". Did you mean Captain America?

"low intelligence or high-level". Pick either two hyphens or no hyphens.

"housewives of Atlanta". Did you mean Housewives? It's Housewives, not Housewives.

"because you can’t hack them the truth hurts but you already knew that." No comma or period?

The people who ask have you taken your meds are usually trash with trash parents.

@MakeAmericaGrea - he’s right on the money. You are terrible and you try poison anything good because you are miserable and icky inside. Maybe consider walking into traffic today???

Harloff essentially said it's mid. He said it's like an episode of Falcon and Winter Soldier and that the new falcon is annoying.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/12/2025, 12:42 AM
@McMurdo - And he said it feels more like a Hulk sequel than a Captain America sequel. Seems like it's everything people thought it would be.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - which is crazy because Hulk ain't in it.

@McMurdo -

Second Falcon is annoying?

Why would Feige want an annoying second Falcon?

@McMurdo - Luckily there are those of us who don’t trust Kristian Harloff as far as being a critic goes.

@Gabimaru - Shmoes and Shmoedown was an era for sure. AMC/Collider Movie Talk, Collider Heroes, even Movie Fights over on Screen Junkies. Great times.

I think the only plot point I'm really looking forward to is the continuation of the Eternals plot point with Tiamut.
