Brave New World’ Suffered From No Chris Evans

Captain America: Brave New World Marvel A new quote from Marvel head Kevin Feige on the fate of one of the only not-great superhero movies of the year, Captain America: Brave New World, has sparked a whole lot of debate over the course of the past day. Feige, at a recent roundtable event, discussed the issues with Brave New World and said “It was the first without Chris Evans” as a reason it struggled. Perhaps not the only reason, but the rationale is being described as “blunt,” to day the least. He’s not wrong. This is not to say that new star and new Captain America Anthony Mackie did anything wrong, but he had not been set-up to succeed in any capacity. First, he had his entire “becoming Cap” journey shuffled into a Disney Plus series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, that far fewer people would watch compared to a film. And as it turned out, it was actually better than his actual debut film. Second, mantle passing is just…incredibly difficult, especially in this case. Yes, this is something that happens in the comics eventually, but in the context of the MCU it’s important to consider that Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers was Cap 11 times over nine years. Sam only appeared as supporting character Falcon during that time, and only managed two appearances as the new Cap across five years (certainly Marvel’s fault there). Captain America MCU This would have happened with any role. If Jane Foster stuck around to become the new Thor in her own film, that would have underperformed past Thor movies. If She-Hulk (as a Hulk replacement) was a film, that would not have done well. If Ironheart (as an Iron Man replacement) was a film, that would not have done well. We just saw…
