New on DVD: Pick up the shield with 'Captain America: Brave New World'

Tribune News Service on

Published in Entertainment News

The fourth Marvel film centered on Captain America tops the DVD releases for the week of May 13.

"Captain America: Brave New World": The first Black Captain America, Sam Wilson, gets his own movie, a paranoid political thriller about deep-state mind control. Starring Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez and Harrison Ford.

"Take it from a casual at best Marvel viewer who has never seen a single second of a Disney+ Marvel show: 'Brave New World' is completely legible, and even enjoyable, as a stand-alone film (though it helps to know some of the major players and overall arcs)," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Don’t sweat the small stuff (or even the Marvel brand) and 'Captain America: Brave New World' proves itself to be a decent political thriller with something culturally resonant to say that exceeds mere comic book particulars."
