Never trust a president, even if he's an elderly but still charismatic Harrison Ford. That's one way to interpret Captain America: Brave New World.
In theory, Brave New World is the fourth movie in the Captain America subfranchise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first to star Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, the not-quite-super-soldier previously known as Falcon, in the title role. But it's really more of a sequel to an old and better-forgotten Marvel movie, 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Except in this case, the hulk is cherry red—and also the president of the United States, played by Ford.
Yes, it's a superhero movie about a president with rage issues. Billed as a conspiracy thriller, a sort of super-powered riff on Three Days of the Condor or The Parallax View, the movie, which reportedly went through multiple significant reshoots, contains only the barest hints of actual, substantive politics. The final film is a muddled, ugly mess.
