CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD BTS Photo Reveals First Look At Isaiah Bradley's Cut Patriot Costume

A new photo from the set of Captain America: Brave New World confirms that Isaiah Bradley and Sabra were going to suit up and help Sam Wilson take the fight to Red Hulk during the movie's final act...

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+.

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

@lord22 - while I liked a decent portion of what we got, what they had and threw away is such a shame.

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.

@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

@Killuminatic - for real. She seemed like she was supposed to. From what I read up so far, she was a love interest in the comics.

@Slotherin - A Skrull would have had it's own problems but even so it would have better than what we got.

@Slotherin - Sharon spent decades in the comics as Steve’s love interest, not Peggy. If not for Hayley Atwell being cast in CA:TFA , and their great chemistry,Sharon never would have become the Power Broker. I would still accept a Skrull explanation, though.

The suit looks far more modern than it would/should have given what Cap's suit looked like in WW2.
Apophis71
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

@IAmAHoot - My thoughts exactly, this looks too modern for him.
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 7/7/2025, 6:44 PM
@Apophis71 - He was active during the early 1950's.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/7/2025, 7:02 PM
@IAmAHoot - I was specificaly stating a time I was alive where I seem to recall jackets enough LIKE that to say it seems the sort of 'modern' that COULD fit in any decade. I can't speak directly to what would or wouldn't be plausible upto 20yrs before I was born but black leather jacket with or without a design on it has been on the go since at least the point Elvis first wore one if not before which I think was the 60's so...

...as in it is sorta timeless enough that even if it is a fully modern day design it wouldn't look odd in the 50's, 60's, 70's, deffo not 80's onwards either.
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 7/7/2025, 8:11 PM
@Apophis71 - Compared to Cap's suit in The First Avenger I still don't think it adds up.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/8/2025, 5:47 AM
@IAmAHoot - Oh I get that it is STARKly different to Cap's in First Avenger but THAT started out as propaganda OTT Stars and Stripes and during WWII, it is thus kinda unique and intended to stand out from all other soldiers as it was designed to be seen and more paratroopers flight suit to be dropped from planes behind enemy lines.

In the 50's they simply wouldn't do that for a black Super Soldier during a controversial war, there is little to no rallying the nation around the flag aspect and was still prior to when they would want anyone not white the nations hero. Mostly however there would be little in the way of paratrooper type tactics during the Korean or Vietnam wars and thus more in the way of stealth in certain circumstances so black leather would creep into use ESP for any predominantly using a motorbike as that is biker leathers basicaly and it was the 50's when black leather biker jackets first became popular thanks to movies like 'The Wild one' in 53' taking over from the 30's and 40's when it was mostly brown leather for leather flying/biker jackets.

We do however kinda know if not confirmed he didn't have his own super suit in the 50's AT ALL, otherwise he would have been way more widely known about.

Again, yes it is likely a modern design that was recently made in Universe that he puts on for the final act prior to reshoots/changes to the film, but also we saw the statue of Isiaih from his action in the 50's in the FatWS's museum scene and it didn't have a unique design at all, just standard issue uniform. However it is a relatively timeless style thus fitting any post WWII era which is thus a good fit for a hero from the 50's, ie a style that an old guy with American flag related issues would feel comfortable enough in to wear.

@Apophis71 - The super suit isn't for fame; it's for practicality. He's on stealth missions regardless hence why he wouldn't be known about. His suit in the museum was him enlisted before given the serum because what would Sam have had access to when everything else was super secret classified? There are aspects to the leather work that harken back to some old fashioned designs, but everything about it otherwise is clearly meant to be emulate all their modern suits from the present Infinity Saga onward.

Apophis71 - 7/8/2025, 9:03 AM
@IAmAHoot - I'd argue with Rogers it kinda was about fame, the whole propaganda tour stuff as the starting point for the design prior to seeing any action, and as I say I DO AGREE that the suit was likely only made for Isiaih AFTER the events of FatWS, was only saying it would not look out of place in almost any decade since the start of the 50's either and that they would never have given him a suit like Cap's in the 50's as would be unlikely to want to highlight they had a Black Supe replacing Steve prior to the end civil rights movement in 68'.

@Apophis71 - Steve Rogers was an intentionally public figure. For Bradley to be known would be like people knowing about The Winter Soldier while was operational.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/8/2025, 9:22 AM
@IAmAHoot - Yup
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 7/8/2025, 9:34 AM
@Apophis71 - By the way, when was he given a super suit if not when in service?
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/8/2025, 9:46 AM
@IAmAHoot - I am not entirely sure TBH, I mean the comic was inspired by the RL story of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study so it would be plausible they were experimenting on civilians and when he survived was recruited but in the comics it was 300 recruits they used and only 5 survived but can't recall if they specificaly stated in the MCU.

With Cap's display in the museum the main statue is of Steve in his iconic suit I thought not his enlistment one I think along with the actual suit on a dummy (which Rogers stole from under Stan Lee's nose) so it would kinda be odd to NOT show his super suit or him in it if there had been one.

@IAmAHoot - I would have loved to see him in battle, but he was Captain America, not Battlestar.

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

@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.

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
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
TheVisionary25 - 7/7/2025, 8:36 AM
@Apophis71 - yeah , I don’t see it being drastically different.
