Captain America: Brave New World, as the title might suggest, isn't content with sticking to the tried-and-tested Marvel traditions.

Case in point: the fourth Captain America movie has become the first MCU entry to not use the iconic Marvel Studios page-flipping logo that has accompanied every project in the series since 2008's Iron Man.

Instead, audiences are treated to a no-nonsense black-and-white logo that really sets the tone for what's to come. Gone is the loud fanfare and, in its place, a back-to-basics approach that runs throughout the rest of the Julius Onah-directed movie's two-hour runtime.

While Marvel Studios features have previously done away with the music – including Iron Man, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: Far From Home – this is the first time it's gone without both the logo and the music. A Brave New World, indeed.

Starring Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, and Tim Blake Nelson, Captain America: Brave New World carries on from the events of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and sees Mackie's Sam Wilson grappling with an international incident. The Marvel Phase 5 movie is also set to introduce the alter-ego of Ford's Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: Red Hulk.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ at least year's San Diego Comic-Con, Ford said of his character's CGI transformation, "It was based on what I had done and it's animated so it looked familiar." Ford added, "I think my wife thinks I look like that all the time, so it was not that big a deal."

Beyond Brave New World, Daredevil is Born Again on Disney Plus this March. Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four are also heading to cinemas, with the latter potentially hiding Reed Richards' stretching powers in its first trailer.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
