When in doubt, add a tiny Giancarlo Esposito to your cast—even far better if you can get him to play a villain. The Mandalorian’s Moff Gideon is heading to a various Disney project to play yet another negative guy, this time (as rumored) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Captain America: Brave New Planet.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that Esposito is joining the cast of Brave New Planet as an antagonist (which 1? TBD, apparently, so get your Marvel character sheet out), component of reshoots on the Julius Onah-directed, Anthony Mackie-starring film that will run for 22 days, such as “some new action sequences.”
There are not a lot of far more specifics beyond that, but the trade does note Brave New Planet completed up its principal photography just ahead of final year’s dual Hollywood strikes. The release date did need to have shifting from this summer time to February 2025, but beyond that THR says this is Brave New Planet’s initial and so far only round of reshoots, which are relatively regular practice for Marvel films and can run far longer and be far more elaborate than these are projected to be.
The rest of the cast—now such as Esposito—features Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez, and Rosa Salazar.
