Captain America 4 has officially hit theaters and fans are eager to know which characters didn’t make it to the final cut. The movie features Sam Wilson, carrying on Steve Rogers’ Captain America legacy. He confronts newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross and is soon embroiled in an international incident. He now has to find out the mastermind behind this global conspiracy. While some interesting cameos were featured, others were not.

Here are cameos that didn’t see the light of the day.

List of all characters deleted from Captain America 4: Brave New World’s final cut

Seth Rollins’ Serpent Society member:

Director Julius Onah revealed that Rollins was initially cast as a member of the Serpent Society, in an interview with ComicBook. He noted that the problem with adapting his character directly from the comics was that it had a snake appearance and powers, which did not align with the movie’s tone.

He attempted to determine “the version that totally works best in a movie like this.” However, due to changes in production, they went with an alternate choice. While praising Rollins, he highlighted how Giancarlo Esposito’s availability prompted them to pursue Sidewinder as a villain.

Rosa Salazar’s Rachel Leighton/Diamondback

She is best known for her roles in NBC’s Parenthood, Alita: Battle Angel,  American Horror Story: Murder House, and Brand New Cherry Flavor. While Rollins’ character was cut, a reliable source earlier allegedly revealed that Salazar’s Diamondback was still set to make a debut. These rumors were further solidified by test screenings. However, in the final output, her character was ultimately removed.

Logan Kim’s Amadeus Cho

Kim is known for appearing as a Podcast in two Ghostbusters movies. A media personality named Daniel Richtman allegedly confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) about Kim’s appearance in the MCU back in October 2024. He was known to be cast as Amadeus Cho in the franchise. Unfortunately, he was not taken into the final version.

Elijah Richardson’s Eli Bradley

Former Marvel Studios VP Nate Moore revealed that Richardson’s Eli was a part of the early drafts in a conversation with Screen Rant. However, he didn’t make it to the final cut as they felt there were many characters to keep track of. Also, they wanted to make sure that if a character is included, “they have something to do.” Therefore, they deleted his character.
