Marvel Studios avoids a box office disappointment, buoyed by international audiences. But is that enough to lift this latest Captain America sequel to box office profits?

In this film, Captain America is hunted by a new villain, only for him to learn that it’s his best friend, Bucky, back from the dead, and brainwashed. Most of the film is Cap trying to figure out why this has occurred, only to learn that the nefarious organization Hydra has its tentacles everywhere.
