WWE Star Confirms He Was Cut From Captain America: Brave New World: “A Lot Of Rewrites And Reshoots"
After previously being set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, a famous WWE star has given a major update about his Captain America: Brave New World appearance.
During an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, WWE"s Seth Rollins was asked about the status of his appearance in Captain America: Brave New World. With the movie arriving in theaters next month, Rollins confirmed that his character will not be popping up in the final cut for Captain America: Brave New World, as he revealed the following:
[indent] Seth Rollins: It releases in February, I wish it the best but...I am not a part of that film. Truth be told, any answer I gave would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots so what I was there to do, essentially my role got either repurposed or completely erased. So I did do a bit of an audition to possibly pop into another role, I believe, or the repurposing of my role, I"m not exactly sure on what it was, but they ended up going in a different direction with it. My understanding was there were just a lot of rewrites and a lot of reshoots. They know they"ve got a finished product that hopefully they"re happy with, and hopefully it"s successful, but it will be sans Seth Rollins.
I"m not in the movie. I will say, unequivocally that I am not in the film, I don"t want anybody to go to the film thinking, "I"m here to see Seth Rollins," there might be two people who would do that, but I don"t want those two people to waste their time. I don"t want to misinform anybody or lead anybody astray. I am not in the film. It should be a good one. Marvel does a great job.
