Even those inclined to agree must admit that Crossbones’s absence has been felt not only in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier but also in plans for Captain America: New World Order. “Kevin Feige knows a thing or two about making movies,” he said with a smile. “I don’t think so,” he sighed, stumbling for more to say before finally declaring, “no.”Īs irritated as he may be, Grillo does not seem to hold any ill will toward Marvel. When asked if he ever sees himself coming back to the role, Grillo lets his frustration show. Rumors have him playing one of the Creature Commandos, the team of monsters who will be getting an animated series.Įven though he can’t get specific about what he’ll be doing for the Distinguished Competition, Grillo seems pretty confident that he won’t be bringing Crossbones back to the MCU. That last part is a bit of a surprise, as no official announcement has been made about Grillo’s casting. So when Crossbones showed up as duplicitous SHIELD Agent Brock Lumlow in The Winter Soldier, played by b-movie stalwart Frank Grillo no less, fans were right to get their hopes up. Introduced in Captain America #359 as the Red Skull’s enforcer during writer Mark Gruenwald’s legendary run, Crossbones quickly established himself as a formidable counter to Cap, a rough-and-tumble gangster turned ruthless mercenary. “If that’s what the MCU can do with Batroc, imagine what they’ll do with Crossbones?” we all thought. But in The Winter Soldier, Batroc was played by UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, who proceeded to have a really cool action sequence with Cap. To comic book fans, Batroc was one of the goofier characters in Cap’s rogues gallery, a Frenchman straight out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, endowed with the power of jumping really well. As Cap and Black Widow make their way through a ship held captive by pirates, they’re stopped by the ring leader: Batroc the Leaper. He’s just that good.One of the most impressive signs of the MCU’s might occurred early in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I think he could be a comedian if he wanted to. He’s an extremely charismatic person with a great sense of humour. Anthony is someone that makes everybody laugh on set. They knew it’s a new thing for me.Īlso, to play with Anthony Mackie was a great learning experience because he’s an amazing actor and I’m someone that likes to learn by observing. Director Kari Skoglund gave me great guidance points, like the Russo brothers did in Winter Soldier. When Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced at D23 in 2019 that Wyatt Russell was joining the cast of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as John Walker, this plotline was always in. GSP: It is complicated, but Disney and Marvel are the best at putting it all together. (1981-) Who Is Chris Evans Born and raised in the Boston area. What was it like shooting such a complicated aerial battle? Chris Evans is an American actor best known for playing comic book superhero Captain America on the big screen. GN: It looks like you got a more complex fight scene than the one you did in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I felt very lucky and very privileged to be part of that franchise because I’ve always been a big fan of Marvel and Disney since I was a kid. Georges St-Pierre: It was perfect timing, because when I retired about two to three years ago, Disney contacted me about the project. How did this comeback come together for you?
Global News: The show starts with an action sequence to set up that we’re in Captain America’s world - and there you are as his old enemy Batroc, right in the centre of it all.
