Captain America Brave New World – Review
Marvel movies have lost some of their fanfare lately with a mix of varying quality, undeserved hate and bungled marketing plus the knock-on impacts of strikes and a pandemic. There are still things for die-hard fans to be excited about, but does Captain America Brave New World do enough to draw in the mainstream crowds?…
