Captain America: Brave New World – original cut vs. final version, all major changes revealed

Spread MCU News

“Captain America: Brave New World” marks a significant milestone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), featuring Anthony Mackie in his first standalone film as Captain America. The movie sees Sam Wilson, formerly known as the Falcon, stepping into the iconic role of Captain America. As he navigates his new identity, Sam faces formidable adversaries, including The Leader and Red Hulk, portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson and Harrison Ford, respectively. The film is not just about action-packed sequences but also about Sam’s journey to prove himself as a worthy successor to Steve Rogers. It delves into themes of legacy, identity, and the weight of responsibility that comes with wielding the shield.

The plot of “Captain America: Brave New World” also sets the stage for future developments in the MCU. The introduction of Adamantium, a nearly indestructible metal, hints at future storylines involving the Weapon X program and Wolverine. This strategic move by the filmmakers not only enriches the current narrative but also builds anticipation for upcoming films. During a press interview, it was confirmed that the movie lays the groundwork for the new Avengers team, signaling a shift in the dynamics of the superhero ensemble. The inclusion of Adamantium and its potential ties to Wolverine suggests that the MCU is expanding its horizons, bringing in elements from the X-Men universe.

A few months ago, a leaked plot from a test screening surfaced online, revealing several key differences from the final cut. One notable change was the removal of Amadeus Cho, a character who was initially part of the storyline. The original version of the film featured a more unrealistic fight sequence between Sam and Ross, where Sam took too many hits. The climax of this version saw Sam using Adamantium to drain Red Hulk’s power, leading to Ross’s heart stopping and his presumed death. A fake funeral was held to keep this a secret, with Betty ignoring Ross’s call but attending the funeral. The ending originally had Sterns escaping prison on a helicopter with a brainwashed pilot, and a post-credit scene showed Betty witnessing fiery footsteps in her backyard, followed by Red Hulk’s glowing red eyes before he vanished.

Further changes included Team Cap (Sam, Joaquin, and Isaiah) fighting the Tech Suit Serpent Society to retrieve stolen Adamantium. Ruth stopped a brainwashed Isaiah by smashing a car with her shoulder, and Sam and Joaquin fought Diamondback to learn about Camp Hope. The Leader originally had his classic comic look with a big head and hair. Ruth later told Sam how she discovered her powers and visited Isaiah to confirm her belief in his innocence. The hallway fight was longer, with Sam, Joaquin, and Ruth fighting together. Sam never got the pills investigated, and the Leader stole a military helicopter to control the naval battle and make Ross angry. Joaquin was originally shot down by a jet instead of a missile. Bucky wasn’t in this version since “Thunderbolts” was planned for a different release date. Sterns actually planned his own capture to expose Ross’s secrets and trigger his transformation into Hulk. These changes reflect the filmmakers’ efforts to refine the narrative and enhance the overall cinematic experience.
