Captain America: Brave New World ends a surprising 17-year Marvel streak with its no-nonsense opening

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.

  • Chris Evans as Cap in the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer Avengers: Doomsday directors returned because they "wanted to move the story forward" with Steve Rogers

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.

Senior Entertainment Writer

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.
