Creator Credits for Captain America: Brave New World

It's been a while since I generated a list of creator credits for a Marvel Cinematic Universe project; 2024 saw fewer productions than usual, and of those that did appear, I was barely interested in any of them. But heck, here's a new Captain America movie and in spite of it all, I have a lot love for Cap.
