End Credits #379 - February 19, 2025 (Captain America: Brave New World)

This week on End Credits, we find an America we're glad to call "Captain". Hey, we know that the United States is having its issues right now (and if you don't there's a show for that), but one them isn't finding a new Captain America! This week, we will enter a Brave New World, and we also talk about the fine art of starting over.  This Wednesday, February 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Mike Ashkewe will discuss: Remake, Reboot and Requel. Although it's not technically a reboot, it's pretty safe to look at Captain America: Brave New World as chance to restart a long-running franchise that's been struggling in recent years. This is not a new trend because Hollywood studios love their franchises, and when the audiences don't respond, that's when they pull out all the stops to get the series back on track. To start, we'll talk about our favourite do-overs! Captain America: Brave New World (2025). When we last left the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadpool and Wolverine met and fought (and fought). But don't expect a lot of in-jokes and jocularity with Captain America: Brave New World, the first featuring Anthony Mackie as the title character, and the first of three new Marvel efforts this year. But this new Cap isn't getting an easy start with threats of war, a conspiracy, and a president with a secret, but can Captain America beat his worst adversary of all: The Critics? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
