‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Propels Giancarlo Esposito’s Box Office Total Past an Adamantium-Strength Milestone

Captain America: Brave New Worldhas been in theaters for exactly three weeks now, and with a reported budget of $180 million, the film has still yet to reach its break-even point and cross over into profit territory.Brave New Worldcurrently sits ata $166 million domestic totaland a $178 million international total for a global cumulative haul of $344 million, needing roughly $15 million more to double its budget. However, the film has helped starGiancarlo Esposito— who makes his long-awaitedMCU debut as the villain Sidewinder— reach the$3 billion mark at the global box office. Sidewinder may not be the true villain ofBrave New World, as that role shifts to The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) and Red Hulk (Harrison Ford) for the second and third acts, but he’s still a menacing force that proves to be a worthy test for Sam Wilson.

Captain America: Brave New Worldis currently the second-highest-grossing movie of Giancarlo Esposito’s career at the worldwide box office, with the highest-grossing movie beingThe Jungle Book(2016), which earned $951 million globally, $600 million more than the current worldwide total ofBrave New World.
