Captain America 4 Photo Reveals The Return Of An Alien Species (With A Gross Twist)
Contains spoilers for "Captain America 4" or "Captain America: Brave New World"
With alien species now making regular contact with Earth-616 citizens, it's probably not surprising that the crew inhabiting "Captain America: Brave New World" might be expanding their eating options. According to some behind-the-scenes pictures posted by @atlanta_filming on Instagram, military vehicles spattered with mud were present at the film's reshoot — and so was a truck strung up with dead, skinned alien creatures.
These grossly dressed (and addressed) aliens appear to be Orloni, the toothy creatures first introduced during "Guardians of the Galaxy." Young Groot can be seen engaging in a battle with one of the ratlike creatures over the opening credits. They also pop up in "Avengers: Endgame" when Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and the rest of the team land on an alternate version of Earth after time traveling. Orloni are mainly used as a form of currency and while gambling, they can be the boon — or bane — of the person who encounters them.
What that military vehicle is doing with so many Orloni — and why they appear to be ready for a grill — remains obscured. But what isn't obscured? All of the changes that are in the process of being made to "Captain America: Brave New World."
A number of changes have been made during reshoots
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Captain America: Brave New World" is undergoing a set of reshoots that will add more of certain characters to the mix. They include Giancarlo Esposito's currently unnamed character and more of Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, who will be leading this epic next phase in Cap's life.
Rosa Salazar's bright pink hair, which leaked to the public thanks to behind-the-scenes pictures, is also new to the picture. The actor will likely be playing the pink-haired Diamondback, a friend and foe of the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, in the comic book world. What her Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline would be remains to be seen, since the MCU has made quite a few changes to Steve's story.
Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Danny Ramirez have also been present during these reshoots, which will last for 22 days and be helmed by director Julius Onah. "Captain America: Brave New World" will be released to theatres sometime in 2025.
