Seth Rollins reflects on his role being cut from Captain America: Brave New World.
The WWE Superstar spoke with Not Just Football with Cam Hayward about being dropped from the movie, despite filming all his scenes. Rollins blamed the script changing and admitted that his role was repurposed for Giancarlo Esposito’s character. Given how good an actor he is, Seth Rollins didn’t mind losing his role to the Breaking Bad star.
“I wasn’t going to talk about it too much because I never know what I can say, but I saw the director, Julius Onah—who’s a phenomenal dude—did an interview this week. They asked him about my role, what happened with it, and stuff like that, so I feel like I can talk about it a little more now,” Seth Rollins said.
“Basically, I got repurposed for Giancarlo Esposito, who is a hell of an actor—Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. Special cat. So, losing out to him doesn’t hurt my feelings. The bottom line is the movie went through a lot of adjustments. The original script is not the script they ended up with. As for my character, I don’t know if it got repurposed or just scrapped entirely, but a whole new thing went in there,” he added.
Seth Rollins: They Cut The Whole Family!
Seth Rollins also spoke about his wife, Becky Lynch, being cut from her role in Marvel’s The Eternals.
“I had a great time filming with those guys—we did some really cool stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor. I hope somehow it lives on in Easter egg form somewhere. I’d love to see some of those shots. I won’t give away too much, but it was a great experience. But yeah, man, they cut me. They cut me from the role. You know what? They cut the whole family!
“My wife had a role in Eternals—she even did a post-credit scene for the original film,” Rollins shared. “The Eternals franchise was intended to be multiple films, and she was supposed to be involved in that, but they cut her too. They cut the whole family!”
