Giancarlo Esposito has reportedly joined the cast of Captain America: Brave New World.

THR also reports the film is going through reshoots.

"Sam Wilson is back in action this week in Atlanta, where Captain America: Brave New World began a round of additional photography, with a new actor now in the cast.

Giancarlo Esposito, who for a few weeks had hinted at his involvement in a Marvel Studios project, is officially on the call sheet in an undisclosed, but sources say, villainous role.

The shoot will run 22 days, according to insiders. Among the added elements will be some new action sequences. Julius Onah remains the director."

You can never go wrong with adding Giancarlo Esposito to the cast

I agree Giancarlo Esposito is a great villain actor...but doesn't it seem late in the production to be adding a villain? Makes me wonder why such extensive reshoots were necessary. Hopefully it's all to make the movie better from what it would have been. But it does make me a little leery.

Maybe he’s not going to be the main villain for this film, but instead they’re going to introduce his character here to start setting him up to be a Big Bad over a few films?

That was actually exactly what my first thought was. His inclusion could be as part of an after credit scene or something.

This is what most likely is happening… he has hinted at having his own Disney plus show… but says he will be teased in multiple projects before then… this was about a week before his casting announcement

When a project that was written for a TV series becomes a theatrical release?

Since when was Captain America 4 a TV series?

Earliest mention of story writing I can dig up is this Hollywood Reporter article from early 2021 which mentions it was bring written as a movie-


Also, please explain how if something was originally written as a TV series, then rewritten into a movie... and shot... then cut together, screened, extensively reshot, then at THAT point had new characters brought in makes sense.

I fail to see the connection here......

"Remember team, this was originally written as a TV series... then we rewrote it to be a movie... that means during the extensive reshoots we expect to bring in new characters we'll cast at that time"

It was talked about and treated as a strong possibility...


But, I must apologize that I was wrong to assume the switch from FatWS 2 to Cap 4 happened while anything was written or in production, and thus, was not a cause of reshoots.

This article explains that reshoots happening recently are happening because principle production wrapped up right before the writer's strike, and so, the usual reshoots were delayed. And, that this is the only reshoot. Which is common.

Where? I read your linked article and it doesnt say anything as such.

That's not what my question was. I asked, since when do reshoots cast new characters?

I don't think it's necessary to build up some narrative that production is in trouble or that Disney/Marvel don't know what they're doing. But this seems like a good explanation:
When they want to include post credit scenes that flow into the next movie/series where that new character is likely be featured.
Also, if you've kept up with both the Captain America storyline in the MCU and current world events, there are likely some story elements that may need to be addressed in order to steer clear of social and political issues.

Yep, this was the initial point of the reshoots prior to Giancarlo getting cast.
