Captain America: Brave New World has been a long time coming, delayed several times and plagued by reshoots. Now, finally, we get to see Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson take on the Captain America title in his own solo film. However, given it's been a little while since we saw him on screen in Falcon and the Winter Solider – and even longer since Steve Rogers gave him the shield in Avengers: Endgame – you'd be forgiven for being a little confused at when the Marvel Phase 5 movie actually takes place.
That all gets even more complicated when you start considering the complexity of the Marvel timeline. Not only does it run a few years ahead of our own present day, and that's not even mentioning the multiversal shenanigans that we've been dealing with. Well, that's where we come in. Below, we get into everything that's revealed about exactly when the movie takes place in the film, as well as breaking down what this means for the future of the MCU. Beware though, this means we will be discussing spoilers about what happens in Brave New World – you have been warned!
