So Bucky Barnes appears and reunites with Sam Wilson in Captain America: Brave New World, but what happens in their one scene together? Bucky arrives to comfort Sam at one of his lowest points in the movie.

In this film, Captain America is hunted by a new villain, only for him to learn that it’s his best friend, Bucky, back from the dead, and brainwashed. Most of the film is Cap trying to figure out why this has occurred, only to learn that the nefarious organization Hydra has its tentacles everywhere.

Brave New World and why it felt so strange to me. It was meant to be an espionage thriller (spoilers follow) in the vein of The Winter Soldier, and yet there was no real conspiracy (no traitors, just a guy randomly mind-controlling people) and a twist that was given away in the first trailer (Ross turning into Red Hulk in the Rose Garden).

Captain America: Brave New World has a surprise cameo from Bucky Barnes and Marvel fans are seriously divided. The movie, which is currently in cinemas, sees Anthony Mackie take on his first solo movie in the MCU movie as Sam Wilson the new Captain America.

Many of the faces in Captain America: Brave New World haven’t been on screen since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk which starred Edward Norton in the role of Bruce Banner, later recast with Mark Ruffalo when The Avengers (2012) came out and the Marvel Cinematic Universe took off.

Brave New World" introduces us to a good number of Marvel heroes and villains, most of whom are decidedly less costumed than their comic book counterparts. For example, Shira Haas plays the Israeli hero Sabra while Giancarlo Esposito is the Serpent Society leader Sidewinder.

Brave New World saw Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson return to the MCU, but the Avenger was left without a vital fellow hero.
