Fans claim to know Esposito's role in Captain America

Earlier today, Marvel Studios released the first trailer for "Captain America: Brave New World." The trailer featured glimpses of Harrison Ford as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (and Red Hulk), Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, and Anthony Mackie as Captain America. Fans were particularly excited about Giancarlo Esposito's appearance, sparking speculation that he will play George Washington (G.W.) Bridge, a former SHIELD agent from the comics. This speculation arises despite SHIELD's disbandment in the MCU as depicted in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."

While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, fans speculate that Giancarlo Esposito will play George Washington (G.W.) Bridge, a former gunman and SHIELD agent.

For additional context, George Washington Bridge is a Marvel Comics character who initially appeared in X-Force #1 in 1991. Known for his military background and as a mercenary, his association with SHIELD adds an interesting dynamic, especially given the organization's current status in the MCU. "Captain America: Brave New World" is set to hit theatres on February 14, 2025.
