Last year, Seth Rollins filmed for the feature Captain America: Brave New World, but recently, he revealed that his scenes did not make it to the final cut. This means he will not be part of the film. The new Captain America movie's director, Julius Onah, spoke to ComicBook's Chris Killian recently. During the interview, Onah explained why the WWE star was replaced by Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad fame.

Esposito portrayed Gus Fring in the popular American series and has also worked with filmmaker Spike Lee. Julius Onah interned with Spike Lee at 19. This connection provided the “gravitas”; the 66-year-old veteran actor brings to the table. Onah ultimately went with Giancarlo.

The Lucha Brothers were first rumored to sign with World Wrestling Entertainment in mid-2024, but it was soon revealed that only Pentagon Jr. would be leaving when his deal expired as Tony Khan had Rey Fenix's contract controversially extended. Khan wanted to keep the one-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, but now he has sidelined Fenix until his contract runs out. Penta has debuted in WWE as a singles competitor, but Rey is expected to join him later this year when his contract with AEW is over.

Zero-Fear brought his explosive in-ring style to RAW with him. Speaking to SHAK Wrestling for a new interview filmed during the Royal Rumble weekend, the 39-year-old was asked how he adjusted to debuting as a singles competitor after many assumed he and Fenix would arrive together. Penta indicated his 34-year-old brother really is set to join him, making it clear he's comfortable either way.
