According to a recent rumour, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts—both future films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—were connected earlier. X-reliable scoopers CanWeGetSomeToast and MyTimeToShineHello claim that Marvel Studios originally intended for the two Phase 5 films to be “more tightly connected.” However, some narrative points altered once Lee Sung Jin was recruited in March 2023 to revise Eric Pearson’s Thunderbolts script, breaking the movie’s connection to Brave New World. The scoopers claimed that Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ cameo, in which she reprised her role as CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was one way Brave New World and Thunderbolts were related. Unless Marvel decides to use it again as a post-credits sequence for Brave New World, it is assumed that the cameo has now been abandoned.
Thunderbolts’ production has been delayed as a result of the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, unlike Captain America: Brave New World, which finished main filming on June 30, 2023. Thunderbolts, a follow-up to the superpowered organisation of the same name that Val, played by Louis-Dreyfus, would put together, will be directed by Jake Schreier. The Thunderbolts, a team of ex-criminals that resembles the Suicide Squad from DC Comics, are set to have six members for their MCU debut: Florence Pugh as Black Widow, Alexei Shostakov as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Antonia Dreykov as Taskmaster, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes as Winter Soldier.
Some fans have started to question if the strikes would result in scheduling difficulties with other projects because Thunderbolts stars some of Hollywood’s most in-demand talent. Harbour recently disclosed that he will probably be filming his parts for Thunderbolts during downtime on Stranger Things, which has its fifth and final season of the well-liked Netflix horror thriller Stranger Things to shoot in 2024. Stranger Things 5 will aim for a year, he claimed. “There will be a little bit of a push difference,” he said. So Thunderbolts will have to reside someplace inside that, but as of right now, everything is just wild guesswork. Simply put, I have no idea what anything is now. I have no idea what we’re doing. “I really wish that someone in charge could tell me what’s going on,” he said, “because I get a tonne of phone calls every week saying, ‘Oh, this is what’s gonna happen.'” Then it just doesn’t occur. So, no one is aware.
After taking up the role of the Star-Spangled Man in the Disney+ short series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie will play Sam Wilson for the first time as Captain America in Brave New World. The Serpent Society, a sinister organisation with a snake motif that has been in Captain America comics since 1985, will make its MCU debut in the forthcoming fourth movie, although plot specifics for the film are still being kept under wraps. A number of The Incredible Hulk characters, notably Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns/Leader, will appear in Brave New World, causing some fans to speculate that the superhero movie would continue dangling story threads from the 2008 picture.
