Captain America: Brave New World’s Julius Onah talked about Seth Rollins’ status in the film. Brandon Davis from the Phase Hero podcast asked The Director what happened to the WWE Superstar. Onah explained how Captain America: Brave New World approached The Serpent Society. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t room for Rollins’ version of Copperhead this time around. Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder handles the point position for the bad guys.
“He was not the guy in the church,” Onah joked. “Obviously, there’s a rogues gallery with Serpent Society and we were looking at what is the version of Serpent Society that feels the most grounded within the tone and the style and the texture of this film. With Giancarlo, Sidewinder just felt great as a leader of Serpent Society, to introduce them for the first time but Seth was not Copperhead, no.”
Captain America: Brave New World Doesn’t Feature Seth Rollins
Captain America: Brave New World featured WWE Superstar Seth Rollins at one point. But, he didn’t make the final cut. The Visionary told Chris Van Vliet that he wouldn’t be along for the ride. But, he remained very professional in his comments.
“It releases in February. Wish it the best, but I am not a part of that film. [What happened?] Well, does my NDA still apply if I’m not in the film anymore? Truth be told, any answer I gave would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots so what I was there to do, essentially my role either got repurposed or completely erased.”
“So I did do a bit of an audition to possibly pop into another role, I believe, or the repurposing of my role, i’m not sure exactly on what it was, but they ended up going in a different direction with it,” Rollins added. “And yeah my understanding was there were just a lot of rewrites and a lot of reshoots, and they know they’ve got a finished product that they’re hopefully happy with, and hopefully it’s successful, but it will be sans Seth Rollins.”
