Captain America: Brave New World may have gone through more extensive reshoots than any MCU movie before it. The superpowered Serpent Society was cut, all of The Leader's scenes were reshot after his appearance was redesigned, and Sidewinder was added as a new villain.

Those are just a few of the changes (another saw Red Hulk still free and keeping watch over Betty Ross from afar). We've seen promo art showing Isaiah Bradley wearing a costume, but that's now been fully revealed in a photo showcasing the movie's stunt team.

It's previously been reported that Isaiah and Sabra suited up to help Sam Wilson fight Red Hulk in the final battle. For whatever reason, Marvel Studios decided that the new Captain America should go it alone, and Bradley never got his superhero moment as a result.

There must have been something fundamentally wrong with the original cut of Captain America: Brave New World for it to be taken back to the drawing board and changed pretty much from start to finish.

Captain America: Brave New World was a critical flop and made only $415.1 million at the worldwide box office. That's more than the likes of Eternals and The Marvels, but the budget spiralled so out of control that making a profit was nigh-on impossible.

Captain America and the MCU's new Falcon will return in Avengers: Doomsday. However, there's no indication of when or where we'll see Isaiah and Sabra again.

Check out a first look at Captain America: Brave New World's take on Bradley as Patriot in the X post below.

In Captain America: Brave New World, after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam Wilson finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

The movie stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford. The movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

"Flawed but functional, Captain America: Brave New World's many problems are largely forgotten any time Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford electrify the screen," we said in our review. "And when Red Hulk shows up, the movie reaches new heights of awesome."

Captain America: Brave New World is now streaming on Disney+.

For [frick]s Sake

Ok, I was disappointed in Brave New World, but seeing we got denied a suited up Isaiah Bradley has really pissed me off.

ModHaterSLADE - 7/7/2025, 6:08 AM

Looks good, shame this is just more cut content.

lord22 - 7/7/2025, 6:12 AM

did they remove everything cool about the movie ?

Clintthahamster - 7/7/2025, 8:58 AM

@lord22 - Sure seems like it.

bkmeijer1 - 7/7/2025, 6:12 AM

Finally got around to watching it, and I actually really liked it. It did feel like a retread of CATWS a lot, but enough of it felt different imo.

Also, think the reshoots weren't really noticeable. Do wonder what the movie initially looked like, and how stuff like Isaiah's suiting up would've factored in.

TheVisionary25 - 7/7/2025, 6:46 AM

@bkmeijer1 - it honestly felt derivative of both TWS and Civil War but I feel like that was moreso due to the genre of conspiracy thriller that they were in which has its tropes but as you said , it still felt like its own thing aswell.

Aside from a moment towards the end , I didn’t feel like the reshoots were really noticeable either honestly

ObserverIO - 7/7/2025, 6:28 AM

Elijah Bradley and we'll talk.

Killuminatic - 7/7/2025, 6:42 AM

Could’ve cut that Black Widow lady and developed Sam’s Secret Service agent friend in her place

JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - 7/7/2025, 8:05 AM

@Killuminatic - Or included already established characters than need their story continued like Sharon Carter.

IAmAHoot - 7/7/2025, 6:47 AM

The suit looks far more modern than it would/should have given what Cap's suit looked like in WW2.

Apophis71 - 7/7/2025, 7:13 AM

@IAmAHoot - Cap's was designed to be noticed, his would be unlikely to get that, for reasons...

...However I would say DOES look more modern in a way BUT the sort of design that could occur in almost any post WWII decade too thus wouldn't be out of place during the cold war era. Certainly could imagine biker jackets like that in the 70's for instance anyways :D

Urubrodi - 7/7/2025, 6:48 AM

They should make a special presentation about Isaiah Bradley's backstory, the most interesting character in this movie

MuadDib - 7/7/2025, 6:49 AM

@Urubrodi - 100%

Repian - 7/7/2025, 7:06 AM

@Urubrodi - Isaiah Bradley, tired of the Vietnam War, becomes a deserter and renounces his identity as a Super Soldier. Becoming a drifter on his journey home, he is pursued by the government's newest weapon, Deathlok.

It would be a story inspired by Rambo and Terminator.

Reginator - 7/7/2025, 7:41 AM

@Urubrodi - would love to see a special presentation or a series.

TheVisionary25 - 7/7/2025, 7:06 AM

That’s a cool outfit…

I wonder if Isiah being imprisoned again was always the impetus for Sam to get involved and investigate or was that added in reshoots aswell?.

I’m going with that was always the case but perhaps something happened in the original version that got Isiah out of prison earlier for both Ruth and him to help Sam in the final fight apparently hence the suit (it also begs the question if he always had it and if not then where did he get it lol).

Personally I’m glad Sam went at it alone against Red Hulk because it not only gave him the chance to show what he could do against someone like that but also allowed us to see his greatest strength as Cap which is his empathy due to his counseling background as he reached out to Ross.

Anyway , I found the film enjoyable but hope future Sam Cap stories are stronger!!.

Apophis71 - 7/7/2025, 7:21 AM

@TheVisionary25 - I could see an alt scenario where after the prison guards being brainwashed fight the Black Widow let him escape in the original draft thus able to be there for the final act fight. Other than that I tend to feel his role was always what we got up until the move to solitary at least.

TheVisionary25 - 7/7/2025, 8:36 AM

@Apophis71 - yeah , I don’t see it being drastically different.

MisterBones - 7/7/2025, 7:40 AM

What the [frick] happened to this film???

Matador - 7/7/2025, 7:48 AM

So from Josh's point of view movie only was good last few minutes of the movie Rhulk vs Capt. Friendly.

OptimusInTime - 7/7/2025, 8:04 AM

What would have been better with Bradleys character is bringing in the Patriot storyline. I liked what they did but they totally should have added Patriot as a C or D storyline. Would have brought that added pathos the film needed. Maybe cut Esposito's story and saved him for another character.. Who knows??!

Optimius Knows!!!!

Spike101 - 7/7/2025, 9:00 AM

They got this movie wrong on so many levels.

dragon316 - 7/7/2025, 9:11 AM

Costume looks anti America where’s white ? Is there mask was there mask?

HeavyMetal4Life - 7/7/2025, 9:59 AM

They should have included that in the film

FrankenDad - 7/7/2025, 10:29 AM

I still want my Old Avengers movie with Bradley, Red Guardian, Hank Pym, Goliath, Janet VanDyne, etc.
