CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Unused Set Designs Seemingly Reveal Scrapped Steve Rogers Cameo

We final noticed Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers on the finish of Avengers: Endgame. After getting back from a timeline the place he received his pleased ending with Peggy Carter, Captain America returned to the current day as an outdated man and offered Sam Wilson with a brand new protect. 

Since then, we have heard that Steve is “gone,” although it is not been made clear whether or not the Avenger retired or died (the Statue of Liberty being changed into a tribute to him appears to recommend the latter is extra doubtless). 

Steve did not present up in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier or Captain America: Courageous New World, although some unused set designs for the latter seem to verify {that a} cameo was a minimum of thought-about. 

Artist Daniel Jennings explains, “I moved onto Sam’s household shrimp boat from Winter Warrior. Winter Warrior used an precise shrimp boat, however as this featured a poker sport between three generations of Captain America, we would have liked extra flexibility.”

“Three generations of Captain America” will need to have been Isaiah Bradley, Steve Rogers, and Sam Wilson. Nonetheless, we suppose it is doable that Eli Bradley was going to be the third man had Marvel Studios determined to take him down the Patriot route. 

Jennings mirrored on his work on Captain America: Courageous New World and defined how little of his work made it to the display screen: 

“Captain America: Courageous New World was most likely one of the lovely films of the Marvel franchise I’ve seen (I could also be a bit biased right here), nevertheless it was odd. I do know. I begin plenty of these blurbs with that sentence, and there’s no such factor as a ‘typical’ film. Every has its personal quirks, and this goes double for Marvel Universe films. However this Marvel film was odd, even for a Marvel film.”

“Out of 9 epic units I did, just one made it to the display screen. It’s commonplace for producers and administrators to drop ideas they love mid-stream. Generally they see the worth tag and balk; or they understand the scene, as written, could possibly be ‘higher’. However on this film, we had much more of that than regular. As a division, we designed three or 4 variations of the identical film, all instructed, and each was unbelievable.”

“What we wound up with was pretty, however the variations within the alternate universes had been simply pretty much as good, main us as a division to take a position, one bibulous night, on what the present would have been if our favourite units (learn: the units we had personally labored on) had made the lower. So, direct from the Limbo of Misplaced Units, I current Captain America as you’ve got by no means seen it. The best present that by no means was…”

The artist saying, “We designed three or 4 variations of the identical film,” could be very telling and indicative of what Captain America: Courageous New World went by means of courtesy of frequent script adjustments and reshoots.
