Brave New World performance and context
While Captain America: Brave New World, which marked Sam Wilson's first appearance as Captain America, failed to match the box office successes of previous installments, it has slowly risen up the MCU rankings.
The film has outperformed other MCU films like The Incredible Hulk and The Marvels. However, the MCU's multiverse saga and Phase 5 have not delivered the results Marvel Studios was hoping for. Amidst these ups and downs, the Captain America franchise's $2.6 billion milestone is a positive sign.
