‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Producer Reveals Why ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Young Avenger Was Cut

Captain America: Brave New World is the fourth entry in the Captain America film franchise and a follow-up to the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Many elements from that series are returning for Captain America: Brave New World, including Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, a Black veteran of the Korean War who was given the super soldier serum after Steve Rogers, and has his contribution to history all but erased until Sam Wilson restores it. Living with Isaiah was his grandson Eli, played by Elijah Richardson. Comic fans know Eli as the character Patriot, a founding member of the Young Avengers.
