After the recent failures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it looks like they are ready to take over the box office with a string of exciting projects that are coming the fans’ way. The excitement for Deadpool & Wolverine has not diminished, Marvel has decided to drop the trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Giancarlo Esposito and Harrison Ford, two new faces in the superhero franchise.
Harrison Ford is portraying the role of General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross, but Esposito’s role remains a mystery. However, the mystery surrounding the role of the actor has invoked one key arc from the 2014 sequel that has got fans jumping with excitement.
Hence, ardent Marvel fanatics are looking forward to the show, which is potentially taking a break from their MultiVerse saga and featuring a classic element that made one the best sequels in Feige’s superhero universe.
Captain America: Brave New World Teases a Classic Element From The Winter Soldier
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of the best films of the alluring superhero franchise that features a struggling Steve Rogers in the contemporary world who is still finding a way to find his place in society.
However, the film soon showcased Bucky Barnes, The Winter Soldier, who threatened the security of America and S.H.I.E.L.D. It was one of the few Marvel films that showcased the political struggle where the security of the world is at stake in a morally ambiguous society full of ethical dilemmas.
It looks like the upcoming film has gone back to the past, as Anthony Mackie’s first outing as America’s Hero is going to revolve around Giancarlo Esposito’s mystery role.
According to reports from ComicBookMovie.com, the Breaking Bad actor is taking the place of the Serpent Society, where he will be a secondary antagonist in the flick.
Moreover, the reputed news publication added Esposito’s comments from a convention where he claimed that he was going to portray a “bad*ss” character, and fans have failed to correctly guess his role. He said,
The character I’m playing is a badass. That always excites me. For me to develop that character in line with the character’s inception is a fascinating art for me. I had an incredible time shooting it. I’m not telling you who I’m playing…people are trying to guess and no one has guessed correctly yet.
Although none of the Marvel fans have correctly, it looks like the film is going to be a hit, showcasing his acting prowess and adding the mystery role to his long list of iconic roles.
