Captain America: New World Orderfeatures several more familiar faces, including Liv Tyler’s return as Betty Ross for the first time since2008’sThe Incredible Hulk. However, Rollins' role inCaptain America 4was seemingly unknown to most until set photos and a video byChristopher Oquendo Photographersurfaced online. In the photos and video, Rollins is seen wearing a seemingly dark green outfit and standing next to another performer dressed in a similar costume. In the video, Rollins is seen reaching out his fist to a man dressed in civilian clothing, who reaches out his hand in return. Both men stand almost perfectly still until they pull their hands away and look up to the sky, prompting Rollin’s similarly-dressed scene partner to run after something as Rollins slowly follows.
Captain America: New Worldis not Rollins' first acting credit. The professional wrestler has appeared in a handful of films, starting with the fourthfilm in theSharknadofranchise. However,Captain America: New World Orderis his most high-profile project. According toWRKD Wrestling, Rollins' recentWWE Rawsegment had to be pre-taped so he could work onCaptain America 4. While people backstage are reportedly happy for Rollins, WRKD alleges there is “hesitancy” to see him win the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship if he plans to continue acting.
ACaptain America: New World Ordertitle changeis rumored to be coming, but that is not expected to delay the film. So, fans can look forward to seeing Rollins in the MCU next summer and possibly learning who he plays beforehand. Until then, fans can speculate whether Rollins is a friend or foe of Mackie’s Captain America.
Captain America: New World Orderis scheduled to be released in theaters on August 05, 2025.
