Summary
Captain America: Brave New Worldcan finally answer whether Iron Man or Captain America was right nine years afterMarvel’sCaptain America: Civil War.Civil Warwas the catalyst that tore the Avengers apart beforeAvengers: Infinity War. The government wanted to hold superheroes accountable throughthe Sokovia Accordsand Tony Stark believed the Avengers should follow suit. However, Steve Rogers felt the best hands were still their own and the Avengers needed to act independently of any political entities. While the film’s ending leans toward Cap’s side, the film does a good job of justifying both sides.
Nearly a decade later, there are still debates over whether Tony or Steve was correct. Some believe the MCU’s superheroes are still too reckless about how they save the world, while others believe the fallout could be worse if the Avengers aren’t allowed to act independently.Captain America 4is continuing that storylineand recent footage featured a conversation that could end the debate for good.

If the central figure behind the Sokovia Accords admits it was a mistake, that is a massive indictment of Tony’s argument and proof thatCaptain America won. The Avengers' split was the worst thing to happen to the world, since they couldn’t fight Thanos as a united unit inInfinity War, leading to his victory. Steve Rogers was right in saying, “We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own,” and Ross' change of heart supports that.
Ross Could Be Rebuilding The Avengers Just For Political Gain
Ross' mission to rebuild the Avengers is a show of good faith to Sam Wilson that he wants to move forward from their past disagreements. However, his statement that he represents the people of America means he may not be doing this because he believes it’s right. Instead, he could be seeking more political goodwill with his delegates, and bringing back the Avengers could do that. Another moment from the footage shows Sam disagreeing with the President, and when Sam says, “This is bulls**t,” Ross responds, “This is politics.”
Ross' commitment to political strategy over what’s right shows he may not have changed from his old ways. However, it’s promising to see that he’s moved away from his vendetta against the Avengers, convenient timing asthe MCU heads towardAvengers: Doomsday.Captain America: Brave New Worldcould be pivotal in how the team comes together before their next battle.
