Why ‘Captain Jones’ is set to be the new ‘Barbenheimer’, and the best way to experience the new Bridget Jones and Captain America films at Cineworld
Two great films land at Cineworld cinemas this week Prepare to be spoiled rotten as two of the year’s most anticipated films – Bridget Jones and Captain America – land in cinemas this week. This double billing truly is the Barbenheimer of 2025. It’s such a powerhouse week of film, we’re calling it Captain Jones – because when Marvel’s mightiest hero and Bridget Jones hit cinemas in the same week, it’s nothing short of a cinematic phenomenon. And there’s no better place to experience it all than at your local Cineworld. Cast your mind back to 2023 when film lovers were taken with the phenomenon that was Barbenheimer – the simultaneous release of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

The latest film, inspired by Helen Fielding’s iconic novels, will see Renee Zellweger return to her titular role, as Bridget navigates life four years after the death of her beloved husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). We can’t wait to see what Bridget is up to this time Then we’ll catch new Cap, Anthony Mackie, in action Then just one day later, we’re spoiled with the release of Captain America: Brave New World, which hits cinemas on Friday, February 14. Here, we’ll find new Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) in the middle of an international incident where he must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan before the world sees red (when you see Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk, you’ll see what we did there). The question is, do you start with Bridge, or with Cap?
