Sorry, Sam Wilson, Kevin Feige reckons Marvel fans missing OG shield-wielder Steve Rogers was a big reason Captain America: Brave New World underperformed at the global box office.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has reflected on Captain America: Brave New World's negative reviews and poor box office performance, sharing his belief that the movie struggled without Chris Evans.

Brave New World didn’t do very well at the box office, and Marvel boss Kevin Feige has talked about why. In the most recent Captain America installment, Anthony Mackie plays Sam Wilson, who became the new Captain America after Steve Rogers gave him the shield in Avengers: Endgame.

Kevin Feige discussed the challenges of recasting iconic roles like Iron Man and Captain America, referencing Sean Connery as James Bond. He hinted at future recasting in the MCU while acknowledging the enduring legacy of beloved characters.

Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige has commented on why movies like The Marvels, Captain America 4, and Thunderbolts* didn’t make a big splash at the box office. The Marvels was released in November 2023 and only made around $206.

The reboot will unify the MCU into a singular timeline, allowing Marvel to recast legacy characters like Iron Man and Captain America. Feige compared the process to other iconic franchises: “They’re looking for a new James Bond. David Corenswet is the new Superman, and he’s been incredible. That’s always how it works”.
