Summary
Anthony Mackie’s first big-screen adventure as Captain America will be released on June 09, 2025, asCaptain America: Brave New Worldhits the movie theatres. The film is one that audiences are excited about due to the anticipation of what the character of Sam Wilson will be able to bring to theCaptain Americafranchise in a film that is also set to feature Red Hulk. With a talented cast that includes Harrison Ford, Rosa Salazar, and Giancarlo Esposito, there’s a real possibility this will be one of the most thrilling projects on the upcoming calendar for Marvel Studios.
The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe project has been marred with a lot of problems in the build-up, with the 35th film in this installmenthaving been plagued by reshoots and rewritesdue to multiple test screening results that have claimed there was a lack of clear vision within the movie. However, while there might have been some stumbling blocks along the way, Marvel still managed to capture plenty of content that will fill out the film and tell a captivating story as audiences now know how long they should anticipateCaptain America: Brave New Worldto be.
According to industry insiderDaniel Richtman,Captain America: Brave New Worldis scheduled to be two hours and four minutes long, giving audiences plenty of time to exist within the world created.The originalCaptain America: The First Avengerwas just as long, running for 124 minutes, while the sequel,Captain America: Winter Soldier, was extended to run 136 minutes. Marvel hiked things up once again withCaptain America: Civil War, which ran for 147 minutes, which is understandable considering how many other Marvel characters were added to it.
In addition to revealing how long the film will last, it was confirmed that there will be one post-credit scene for fans to enjoy, which has become a staple of all Marvel movies. What this will entail remains a mystery, with Marvel having a range of topics within its back catalogregarding the post-credit scenes. Some have provided significant teases to future movies, sometimes with characters even debuting in these moments. However, there are also times when those post-credit moments are just comedic scenes, which can lead to them being rather forgettable.
Considering this will be Mackie’s first movie as Captain America followingthe Disney Plus series,The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which showcased his first experience in the new role, it makes sense for this not to be the longest movie in the franchise. However, it is still long enough for audiences to have enough time to dive into the character and understand what this version of Captain America will be like, which is important to showcase what this character is capable of.
Wilson is someone who people will be familiar with due to his time playing the Falcon in multiple MCU projects. But this change is significant; therefore, giving the movie a solid runtime that isn’t going to overstay its welcome should be beneficial inallowingCaptain America: Brave New Worldto make an impactand ensure the character continues to be a significant part of the MCU.
