‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Director Julius Onah Explains Those Cameos, Reveals What the Reshoots Replaced and Defends Harrison Ford: ‘He Was an Utter Professional’


'Captain America: Brave New World' director Julius Onah on those surprise cameos, introducing adamantium to the MCU and working with Harrison Ford.

That included extensive additional photography in 2024 that replaced several sequences with new ones featuring Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder, leader of the mercenary group the Serpent Society, though Onah insisted the reshoots were “planned from the very beginning.” (Disney did, however, push the film’s release from July 2024 to February 2025.) The director also defended Ford from an allegation by an anonymous “Brave New World” crew member recently published by Vulture that the star was “very much a diva” on set and “hated” the motion capture process to perform as Red Hulk. He also talked about the surprise appearance of Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, the introduction of adamantium to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, why the film doesn’t include Ross’ vice president, and the original scenes that the reshoots with Esposito replaced.
