According to reports, the first movie starring Mackie as Captain America earned $12 million domestically in Thursday previews. Captain America: Brave New World opens in 4,105 theaters in North America on Friday.

Brave New World is a perfect example of studio math gone wrong. On paper, the 35th MCU entry should be a sure-fire winner. For a little bit of spice, give a dash of heralded character actors Giancarlo Esposito and Tim Blake Nelson.

Brave New World' premiere, Harrison Ford spoke to Deadline about stepping into the MCU role originated by William Hurt.

Brave New World' introduces Anthony Mackie as the new Cap, plus Red Hulk and other 'Hulk' characters into the MCU.

For Nigerian-American director Julius Onah (“The Cloverfield Paradox”), entering the MCU with “Captain Marvel: Brave New World” provided the opportunity to make a paranoid thriller, one in which Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new, untraditional Captain America, must stop a global threat involving the powerful substance adamantium.

Anthony Mackie returns to take up Captain America's shield on the big screen, but the latest Marvel movie belongs to Harrison Ford.

While chatting with THR at the premiere, Tim Blake Nelson talks about the excitement he felt in reprising his role as Samuel Sterns in Captain America: Brave New World. Plus, he shares what it was like returning to the MCU and his son Eli talks about what he remembers from being on set of The Incredible Hulk.

Somehow, a direct sequel to 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" isn't the magic bullet the MCU needed to regain its former glory.
