Previously, ahead of sharing the trailer at ComicCon,Kevin Feige had drawn an exciting comparisonbetweenCaptain America: Brave New Worldand MCU’sCaptain America: The Winter Soldier. This time at CinemaCon, fans appeared to have realized that very similarity on their own. According to reviews shared online, attendees were immediately reminded of Chris Evans’ 2014 movie, following the exclusive trailer.
Fans Shared Their Opinions onCaptain America: Brave New World
After realizingKevin Feige’s subtle call back to the tradition of makingCaptain America 4a “relatively grounded action thriller” much like Chris Evans’Captain America: The Winter Soldier,those in attendance at CinemaCon shared their thoughts on social media. Co-host ofThe Hot Micpodcast, Jeff Sneider revealed how theexclusive trailer showed Isaiah Bradleyas a musically-activated sleeper agent.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD footage references an act of heroism Sam Wilson did down in Mexico. Music can activate sleeper agents (incl. Isaiah Bradley) who try to kill Harrison Ford, whose inner circle has been compromised. He either can’t see that… or doesn’t want to.

I never thought I’d say this as a Chris Evans super fan…
But we just saw footage of CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD with Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford and it was FUCKING AWESOME! I’M SOLD HOLY CRAP!#CinemaConpic.twitter.com/kH4RpfTNWf

Anthony Mackie’s standalone Captain America film looks fantastic. If Jason Bourne flirted with mechanical wings and a shield.

Captain America: Brave New World’s footage is a massive win.
They acknowledge Ross looks different. Ross wants to rebuild an Avengers team. Sam & Joaquin went on a successful mission and the President is proud. Isaiah Bradley ends up possessed in Winter Soldier brainwash style,…pic.twitter.com/LQbhkWXe3V

Harrison Ford in the Oval Office is something special.Addresses recasting head on.
Hearing Ford say"You know I’m no fan of heroes" also “Avengers” surreal#Thunderbolts#Cinemacon
