There's Only One 'Captain America: Brave New World' Character Who Gets a Good Full Circle Moment

Captain America: Brave New World has finally seen the light of day. The long-delayed movie faced a series of setbacks that predicted an awkward end product. And the forecast was right, as the film is a mixed bag of elements that feel wobbly at best. Still, some shining moments make it worthy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is especially the case in Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. The role, originated by the late William Hurt, has appeared briefly every now and then across MCU canon. While always being on the “right side,” a.k.a. the government, he’s been an endless pain for almost every Avenger on Earth-616. Captain America: Brave New World shows a side of Ross that allows for an atonement of sorts, allowing the character to come full circle.
