Brave New World leaves one major question about President Thaddeus Ross unanswered--but the next MCU movie can fix it.

While Marvel certainly has some big things on deck for the rest of 2025, Captain America: Brave New World continues to be a somewhat underwhelming endeavor.

In this film, Captain America is hunted by a new villain, only for him to learn that it’s his best friend, Bucky, back from the dead, and brainwashed. Most of the film is Cap trying to figure out why this has occurred, only to learn that the nefarious organization Hydra has its tentacles everywhere.

Julius Onah has explained Hulk's absence from Captain America: Brave New World, but his reasoning makes me even more sad Bruce Banner didn't appear.

Despite facing less than stellar responses from critics, Captain America: Brave New World continues to perform admirably at the box office. Three weeks after its release, the latest Marvel film is leading internationally with earnings now over $300 million.

Brave New World won't go down as the MCU's lowest-grossing film at the box office, there's not much good news beyond that.
