Recent reports have indicated that there have been more changes to Captain America 4. There are rumors circulating that WWE star Seth Rollins may no longer be part of the film, especially since he was speculated to be cast as a member of the Serpent Society. If the group was originally planned to be in the movie, it seems like they may have been removed.

It is possible that the Serpent Society could have appeared in Captain America: Brave New World, considering their presence in Captain America: Sam Wilson #1. However, there have been no official announcements confirming or denying these rumors. It is worth mentioning that with The Leader and Red Hulk possibly being included in the film, the filmmakers may have decided not to introduce additional antagonists to avoid overcrowding the storyline with too many characters.

At SDCC 2022, Captain America: Brave New World was officially confirmed. The latest update on the film reveals a changed release date to February 14, 2025, following its previous shift from July 26, 2024. This adjustment aligns with other MCU projects and comes after the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strikes. It is speculated that the alterations in the production timeline are due to work stoppages or delays caused by the strikes. This delay may allow for sufficient time for films like Brave New World to be completed once the conditions are met for the workers involved.

Captain America: Brave New World, a part of the MCU's Phase 5, is set to premiere in theaters on February 14, 2025. This release date has been pushed back due to delays, with the movie originally planned to come out on May 3, 2024, and then rescheduled for July 26, 2024. These delays have also affected other MCU films like Thunderbolts, which will now be released on July 25, 2025, showing the overall delays faced by the MCU slate in 2023.

The previously scheduled release date for Captain America: Brave New World in July 2024 was also the original release period for Thunderbolts.

The cast for Captain America: Brave New World includes familiar faces from previous MCU films and some new additions.

Anthony Mackie will be playing Sam Wilson, the new Captain America. He has been the Falcon since his debut in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and now takes on the new title, headlining his own MCU movie for the first time.

Harrison Ford will be taking over the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, following the passing of actor William Hurt. This will be Ford's first appearance as Ross. Tim Blake Nelson is also making a surprising return as Samuel Sterns, also known as The Leader. He has not been seen in the MCU since 2008's The Incredible Hulk, where he was teased to be becoming his villainous alter-ego.

In March 2023, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Liv Tyler will be reprising her role as Elizabeth Ross. This is an exciting surprise, considering Tyler last played Betty Ross in The Incredible Hulk alongside Edward Norton as the Hulk. It remains to be seen if Thaddeus' daughter will rekindle a romance with Bruce Banner, but the casting hints at possible new developments in the Hulk's story, even without Mark Ruffalo's involvement in the upcoming film.

Following Sam's transition to Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it's no shock that some cast members from the show will appear in Captain America: Brave New World. One such character is fellow super-soldier Isaiah Bradley, portrayed by Carl Lumbly. It's possible that the film will delve deeper into Bradley's backstory as a Black super-soldier who was overlooked by the U.S. military.

Joaquin Torres/Falcon (Danny Ramirez) will be back in his supportive role alongside Sam, possibly transitioning into the new Falcon as in the comics. Shira Haas will portray the mutant spy Sabra, and Xosha Roquemore will join the cast in a mysterious role.

The original title of Brave New World, "New World Order," is also the title of the pilot episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the finale, Wilson takes on the role of the new Cap. This connection is not unexpected, considering that the movie's head writer is Malcolm Spellman, who is also the showrunner for The Falcon And The Winter Soldier.

In the comics, Falcon's journey to becoming Captain America differs from the MCU and delves deeper thematically. In Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Spellman explores Sam Wilson taking on the Shield to address the racial dynamics of a Black man embodying America's ideals, as well as Captain America's role as a bridge between regular people and those in power.

The characters who oppose Sam in the story provide further insight. "Thunderbolt" Ross has a history with Sam in the MCU, having imprisoned him and other members of Captain America's team. Ross may still view Sam as a criminal and be unhappy to see him wielding the shield. Additionally, Ross's presence in the film hints at connections to other MCU projects like Thunderbolts. The possible return of The Leader, a longstanding figure in Hulk comics, suggests a potential transformation of Ross into Red Hulk, positioning him as the main adversary in Captain America: Brave New World.

The original title Captain America: New World Order could hint at the return of Red Skull in the MCU. In Marvel Comics, the New World Order is a group created by Red Skull, who tricks the Hulk into their base in the Amazon jungle, where the Juggernaut captures Hulk for brainwashing.
