Captain America: Brave New World Gets a Streaming Date (& It's Later Than We Thought)

Published 1 day ago3 minute read

Another Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is making its way onto Disney+. Marvel Studios has just announced when Captain America: Brave New World will arrive on the Disney-owned streaming service.

Despite reports stating that the fourth Captain America movie would land on Disney+ today, the MCU blockbuster will actually , roughly three and a half months after it debuted in theaters around the world. The movie's arrival on Disney+ comes just over a month after it hit Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Amazon, and other VOD platforms, and a mere two weeks after it was released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.

Wyatt Russell Finally Weighs In On That Thunderbolts Line Marvel Fans Claim is an Easter Egg

Thunderbolts* actor Wyatt Russell insists that that line of dialogue from John Walker was not intended to be a Captain America Easter egg.

Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World marks Anthony Mackie's first time leading an MCU movie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, who in the movie finds himself at the center of an international incident following the election of Thaddeus Ross as the President of the United States and must work to stop the true masterminds behind it. Harrison Ford succeeds the late William Hurt as Ross, who makes his much-marketed (and long-awaited) debut as Red Hulk in the Captain America sequel.

Captain America: Brave New World underperformed at the box office during its theatrical run, grossing just $415 million worldwide. This is just under the $425 million that the movie reportedly needed to earn for Marvel Studios to break even on the superhero blockbuster. Its final box office total is a far cry from the $714M that 2014's The Winter Soldier earned and especially the $1.15 billion that 2016's Civil War made, although the latter was more of a stealth Avengers sequel than a proper Captain America solo movie.

Brave New World's struggles weren't just limited to the box office, as the sequel also received mixed reviews from critics, with review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes noting that only 48 percent of reviews were positive. However, Rob Edwards, who co-wrote the screenplay for the fourth Captain America movie with the writing teams of Malcolm Spellman & Dalan Musson and Onah & Peter Glanz, isn't sure critics fully understood what Brave New World was trying to achieve, pointing out that audiences gave the movie a more positive 79 percent score.

"When the audience's marks came in, everybody I saw said like, 'Not only did I love it, but I brought my family to the next week. I've seen it more than once. It's a thoroughly enjoyable film, and I don't know what everybody's talking about.' I mean, that's really what you want as opposed to the other thing," Edwards stated, believing that critics "got it wrong."

The pair will be joined by several familiar faces, including Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Paul Rudd's Ant-Man, as well as the casts of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts*. Joe and Anthony Russo are directing Doomsday, which will see the heroes of the MCU come together to stop Robert Downey Jr.'s villainous Doctor Doom.
