As the latest round of reshoots on Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World (formerly known as New World Order) continue, this latest photo from the set is sure to raise a few questions!
Shared by Atlanta Filming, the image features strange creatures hanging by their tails. Though there’s been some speculation that these might be the Soul Eaters from Chang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, they look a lot more like Orloni to us.
These small, rodent-like animals were introduced in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and seem to be a very popular snack in certain cosmic corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We have no clue why these little critters would be a part of this particular movie, so there’s always a chance they simply resemble Orloni. Another theory is that these are some sort of Gamma-mutants created by Doctor Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader.
Have a look at the photo below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
The first official stills from the movie were released a couple of weeks back, featuring Anthony Mackie as the returning Sam Wilson equipped with Steve Rogers’ iconic vibranium shield, and our new Sentinel of Liberty meeting Ross, who will task Wilson with reforming The Avengers.
In the footage that screened at CinemaCon last month, Ross welcomes Wilson to the White House to commend him on his past heroism, but chaos soon ensues when music plays and activates some sleeper agent assassins, including Carl Lumbly’s Isaiah Bradley, attempt to take out the President.
“It made more sense for it to be more of a grounded espionage action movie as opposed to aliens and airplanes coming through portals and sh*t,” Mackie told EW. “Even though I’ve been in so many of them and have seen it all now, the opportunity for Sam to really establish himself as a true action star and Avenger comes with this movie.”
“This movie is a clear reset,” he adds. It really re-establishes the idea of what this universe is and what this universe is going to be. I think with these movies, you’re getting a clear, new branding of what Marvel is headed towards the same way they did with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
Joining Mackie and Ford will be Danny Ramirez as the new Falcon, Shira Haas as Israeli superheroine Sabra, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, and Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader.
Specific plot details are still under wraps, but rumor has it the story will see Samuel Sterns revealed as the “secret benefactor” behind the Serpent Society. What this will entail is not clear, but we assume he’ll be funding the group and possibly providing them with tech.
Captain America: Brave New World is set to arrive in theaters on February 14, 2025.
