Synopsis for our Captain America Brave New World 2025 Review
Directed by – Julius Onah
Story by – Rob Edwards, Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson
Screenplay by – Rob Edwards, Malcolm Spellman, Dalan Musson, Julius Onah and Peter Glanz
After being diagnosed with a terminal heart condition, Cantankerous General Thaddeus Ross turns his life around and is announced as the new US president promising togetherness in the face of overwhelming challenges in the world.
Following the discovery of a brand new element, Adamantium, in the body of the Celestial, Tiamut, that still resides in the Indian Ocean, countries across the world are battling for control of the powerful material.
When the Serpent Society, a rogue special Ops group led by Sidewinder, steals a sample of Adamantium, President Ross sends Captain America to Oaxaca Mexico to retrieve the item. Backed up by his guy in the chair Joaquin Torres who wants to be the new Falcon, Cap recovers the items, but Sidewinder escapes.
If Torres is to be the new Falcon, Sam wants him to train with the best so he sets up a session with another super soldier Isaiah Bradley.
To thank them for their service, President Ross invites Sam and Joaquin to the White House. As recompense he asks for an invite for Isaiah too. But while Ross thanks the heroes a song begins to play triggering multiple attacks on the president. Isaiah is one of the shooters, he takes his shot and escapes the White House pursued by the secret service and President Ross’ private guard, former Black Widow Ruth Bat-Seraph.
But Sam reaches Isaiah first and calms him down. He soon realises he has no memory of the incident. But with the high profile attack Isaiah is imprisoned while the investigation takes place.
As Sam tries to clear his friend’s name, he and Joaquin learn there is one person behind everything who they must uncover. President Ross has a secret. Following Bruce Banner’s escape 16 years ago, Ross locked up his scientist contact Samuel Sterns forcing him to be his own personal think tank and create a cure for his illness.
But, imbued with supreme intelligence, Sterns has used his skills to plant commands in agents across the world. He created a statistically probable chain of events to get payback on President Ross.
When the Japanese government chooses to take the Adamantium for themselves, the US tries to intercept them. Stern’s manipulation almost leads the two countries to war until Captain America and Falcon convince them otherwise. But Falcon is injured in the crossfire.
As President Ross announces the new cooperation between Japan and the US, Sam learns that Stern’s real plan was to turn President Ross into a real monster. The life-saving pills he created to save Ross were infused with Gamma radiation which transforms the president into the aggressive Red Hulk.
Sam has to use all of his abilities to calm the monster inside Ross who finally gives himself up and is taken to The Raft prison where his estranged daughter Betty pays him a visit. With the true culprits in custody, Isaiah Brandley is rightfully freed and Samuel Sterns warns Sam of the impending arrival of Others who will destroy their world.
Meanwhile Sam decides Thaddeus Ross was right about the need for a new Avengers initiative. He officially recruits the recovering Joaquin Torres as the new Falcon as they set out to find their new team members.
