Captain America: Brave New World cast

The Captain America: Brave New World cast is a mix of familiar and new faces. Of course, Anthony Mackie is back to suit up as The Falcon once again, alongside Danny Ramirez’s Joaquín Torres. There are some new faces though, from Giancarlo Esposito to Harrison Ford, who playsThe Red Hulk.

At SDCC24 it was confirmed that Esposito’s villain, which the star he had been teasing for months, is in fact Seth Voelker AKA Sidewinder. In an interview withGamesRadar+, Esposito revealed he did some in-depth comic book studying to prepare for the role.   “Well, you know, in the research I’ve done when I knew that I was going to be playing the head of the Serpent Society, someone who formed it and runs it, I wanted to know more,” he said. “I wanted to go back [and] figure out what are his colors, what do they look like, what do they do, what are his superpowers?”

Captain America: Brave New World plot

Captain America: Brave New World picks up after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which ended with Sam Wilson finally accepting the mantle of Captain America – setting us up for Captain America 4. His friendship with Joaquin Torres, the future Falcon, was also established in the Disney Plus show.

Specifics on Cap 4 are scarce at the moment, but it’s clear that it’s going to have some significant crossover with the world of the Hulk. For one thing, we’re going to see Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk, and there are multiple characters returning from The Incredible Hulk. How that’s going to work remains to be seen, though.

Then, Giancarlo Esposito is one of the villains, appearing as Sidewinder – King of the Serpent Society. How that will factor into the fourquel is also a mystery for now.
