Speculation continues to swirl around WWE Superstar Seth Rollins’ involvement in “Captain America: Brave New World,” with the wrestler himself recently clarifying his absence from the film’s latest trailer.
The saga began in May 2023 when Rollins was photographed filming scenes for what was then titled “Captain America: New World Order.” Photographer Christopher Oquendo captured footage of Rollins on set, sparking initial fan excitement about his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
While Rollins acknowledged his involvement in June 2023, stating he was “sworn to secrecy” about his role, the project’s status became unclear earlier this year. Marvel insider “CanWeGetSomeToast” reported in January that Rollins’ scenes, allegedly connected to the villainous Serpent Society, had been cut during reshoots.
The uncertainty peaked when fans believed they had spotted Rollins in military gear at the 1:44 mark of the recently released trailer. However, Rollins quickly dispelled these rumors, responding to fan speculation on Twitter with a simple “Not me, kid. Sorry.”
The film, which has faced various production challenges including delays, a title change, and impacts from the Hollywood strikes, is scheduled for release in February.
