As often happens in film, the story evolved, and during reshoots, the creative direction shifted. Our version was ultimately not used in the final cut. Still, we remain incredibly proud of the work we created.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrawing inspiration from the original comic book art, we developed a look that felt both grounded and iconic\u2014true to the source while achieving a refined, natural realism. Technically, we were thrilled with how lightweight and comfortable the final makeup was for the actor\u2014an achievement made possible by the dedication of an extraordinary team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIuzryeMXx8\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post<\/a>, which can be viewed below, further details the process that went into designing Nelson\u2019s character\u2019s makeup.<\/p>\n<p>Captain America: Brave New World also stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson\/Captain America, Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres\/Falcon, Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder, and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross\/Red Hulk.
