Seth "Freakin" Rollins is not going to be in Captain America: Brave New World. The fans of this five-time WWE world champion were looking forward to his appearance in the new Captain America movie, slated to release in theaters on February 14, 2025.

Seth Rollins, the WWE star wrestler, was supposed to star in Captain America: Brave New World. However, it was recently revealed that his role got cut from this project. Since his fans were excited to see him on the big screen, he decided to clear the air. While speaking with YouTuber Chris Van Vliet, Rollins said:

“I wish it the best, but I am not a part of that film."

When asked about why he is absent from Captain America: Brave New World, Rollins said:

“Truth be told, any answer I gave you would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots and so what I was there to do... Essentially my role got either repurposed or completely erased."

Rollins revealed a few details about his experience working on Captain America: Brave New World and about the role he was supposed to play. He said:

“I did do a bit of an audition to possibly pop into another role I believe, or the repurposing of my role. I’m not exactly sure what it was. But they ended up going in a different direction with it. My understanding is there were just a lot of rewrites and a lot of reshoots. They know they’ve got a finished product that hopefully they’re happy with, and hopefully it’s successful. But it will be sans Seth Rollins.”

Trending

While sharing these details, Rollins also realized that his fanbase would probably go watch the movie to find him and be disappointed. So, addressing them, he said:

“I am not in the movie. I will say unequivocally I am not in the film. I do not want anybody to go to the film thinking, oh I’m here to see Seth Rollins. There might be two people who would do that, but I don’t want those two people to waste their time. I don’t want to misinform anybody. I don’t want to lead anybody astray. I am not in the film. It should be a good one. Marvel does a great job.”
