- Marvel Studios changed the title of the fourth Captain America film from 'New World Order' to 'Brave New World' due to concerns over the loaded political connotations of the original title, which has been co-opted by extremist conspiracy theorists.
- The film will see the debut of the Red Hulk, with Harrison Ford replacing the late William Hurt as President Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, and the long-awaited return of Samuel Sterns, a.k.a. the villainous Leader, played by Tim Blake Nelson.
