The first trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and others, debuted on July 12.

Giancarlo Esposito talks about his character in Captain America 4
While every member of the ensemble cast in the upcoming film has a defined name and background, Giancarlo Esposito's role remains shrouded in mystery. Fans have been speculating about his character for some time, but specific details have yet to be disclosed.
There has been speculation among fans that Esposito could potentially play a supporting villain, possibly filling the role of the Serpent Society in Sam Wilson's Captain America debut. However, Esposito seemed to downplay these rumors at a recent convention. He said, "The character I'm playing is a badass. That always excites me.” He also added that for him to develop that character in line with the character's inception, it has been a fascinating art.
Among the fan theories circulating, two common guesses for Esposito's character include Agent X and George Washington Bridge. Despite the speculation, Esposito has kept the character's identity closely guarded, teasing that no one has correctly guessed who he is portraying. Fans eagerly await the film's release on February 14, 2025, hoping for the big reveal of Esposito's mysterious role in Captain America: Brave New World.
What role could Giancarlo Esposito actually play in the movie?
The actor has established a reputation for playing viciously fascinating antagonists. So one could wonder, based on the Captain America: Brave New World teaser, which villain is he playing this time? There's every reason to believe that Giancarlo Esposito could be playing GW Bridge, if the speculations are correct. Who is GW Bridge, then?
Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld created G.W. Bridge, who made his debut in X-Force #1. He is a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a former mercenary. G.W. Bridge is skilled in both hand-to-hand fighting and handgun handling, even though he lacks superhuman abilities. Since the US government dismissed SHIELD after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Esposito's casting as GW Bridge places him clearly in the greater MCU Captain America mythos as a possible former agent acting on his own.
Giancarlo Esposito's real role won't be revealed until Marvel makes an official statement. However, if the reports of Giancarlo Esposito's GW Bridge casting are true, the movie might end up being another step toward the MCU's integration of the vast X-Men mythos.
Captain America: Brave New World also stars Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, and Carl Lumbly, along with Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson. The movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.
