Though he filmed scenes for "Captain America: Brave New World," Seth Rollins did not make the final cut of the film.
Speaking to Chris McPherson & Steven Weintraub of Collider, "Captain America" director Julius Onah praised Rollins, and offered more insight into why Rollins was cut.
“In terms of the Seth Rollins of it all, he was a character that was just going to feature in the opening of the movie. Seth is amazing. Incredible. I would work with him again in a heartbeat, but as we were iterating on the movie, it was very clear that some of the tonal things that we were playing with the original iteration of Serpent Society had to fit even more closely in the mold with the rest of the movie.
“We always knew that we were going to be coming back to potentially refine that. When our additional photography period came, we just thought through what helps us ground this character and still nod towards things that feel a bit heightened. And Giancarlo [Esposito] is so good about walking that fine line between larger than life but still feeling human. It became — I've said this over and over — something of a no-brainer.”
Onah said he hopes to work with Seth in the future.
“Seth is amazing. I know I'm going to want to work with him, and hopefully, will work with him, again. He's just such a phenomenal guy and obviously an incredible performer," he said.
