Anthony Mackie picks up the shield at a potentially awkward time. But there’s one way Disney can do right by him and the next generation of Marvel stars.

There's a bit late in "Captain America: Brave New World" where a character gives an impassioned speech, and then another character stops him cold and asks if that speech came from a speechwriter. He jokes that yes, it was written, and they both share a laugh about whether or not it was delivered in an effective manner.

Supposedly a reboot of the Captain America character, it has so many callbacks to past films, comic books and situations, it’s impossible to get a bead on what’s what.
