This article contains spoilers for Captain America: Brave New World.
No one would argue thatCaptain America: Brave New Worldis a jam-packed movie.
But it could have been featured evenmoreMarvel characters.
Its a testament to the cast and crew thatBrave New Worldended up a pretty fun, slick action flick.
So lets take a look at what almost was, and how these characters could have affectedBrave New World.
Eventually, Rachel and Steve Rogers became lovers, albeit in a conflicted relationship.
Rachel, for her part, resented Steves mistrust, especially since Crossbones was her abuser.
Its entirely possible that Diamondback would have been a romantic interest for Sam in the finished film.
That theory is supported by the fact that a Serpent heavy does remain in the finished film.
Played wonderfully by Carl Lumbly, Isaiah plays a major role inBrave New World.
And yet, Eli neither appears on screen nor even gets a mention.
As producer Nate Moore explained, Eli did appear in early drafts of the script.
Seemingly getting in the way of Isaiahs relationship with Sam, Eli got cut.
In the comics, Eli is a founding member of theYoung Avengers.
However, he later admits that he used a Mutant Growth Hormone to simulate the powers.
As reported bythe generally reliable insider Jeff Sneider, Val figured in early versions ofBrave New World.
Her efforts involved the Serpent Society, which probably involved Seth Rollinss character.
However,Thunderbolts*gets set up through a cameo by Bucky, now apparently a U.S.
Senator, and not by Vals machinations.
Captain America: Brave New World is now in theaters.
