Today we are sharing our first look at Giancarlo Esposito in costume from Captain America: Brave New World, and it does not help us work out who he is playing.
There have been quite a few BTS photo’s from the current reshoots making their way on line. One showing a more comic accurate hairdo for Diamondback. However what fans are most keen to see is the first look at Esposito in costume. Check it out below courtesy of Christopher Oquendo.

This also matches the very weird stick man drawing we got recently from Atalanta Filming. However, it does not really help us to determine just who Esposito could be playing. The two most popular online fan theories I have heard so far are Jacob Fury, brother of Nick, or Bushman, villain of Moon Knight. Some fans think if he’s Bushman, the series he was talking about could be Moon Knight Season 2. However, realistically there is zero to suggest either of these fan theories are correct. Both could be wrong, or one could be right? I’m just saying there’s no actual evidence to suggest either picks at this time. Esposito hinted he was playing an original character, not a comic book one, so it could be that’s the case and all fan theories are out the window.

What is clear is that Esposito is a major part of the current reshoots for Brave New World and the script update that happened is where and when this character was added. As always, we just hope it makes for a good movie when it releases in 2025.
