As we approach the conclusion of a phase, certain Marvel projects find themselves shouldering the responsibility of resolving numerous plot threads to set the stage for the next phase.

This sprawling narrative has not always been woven together smoothly, resulting in a tangled web of unresolved stories. In Captain America: Brave New World, it falls upon Sam Wilson, now bearing the mantle of Captain America, to address these lingering issues.
