Captain America: New World Order set photos reveal the first look at Liv Tyler’s MCU return as Betty Ross while filming a possible funeral scene.
New Captain America: New World Order set photos show Betty Ross’ return as part of a funeral scene. The upcoming installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been known to include a handful of familiar characters around Sam Wilson’s Captain America (Anthony Mackie). This includes the return of The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) and Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford). The large presence of characters associated with The Incredible Hulk grew following the announcement that Liv Tyler joined Captain America 4‘s cast. Betty Ross’ return immediately sparked questions about how she factors into the story.
Captain America: New World Order set photos shared by Just Jared have now provided the first look at Betty Ross’ MCU return as Liv Tyler takes part in a funeral scene set at a cemetery.
The images reveal Liv Tyler filming scenes for Captain America 4 alongside co-stars Anthony Mackie, Shira Haas as Sabra, and Xosha Roquemore’s mystery character. The characters’ all-black attire and military uniforms indicate that they are all present for a funeral, specifically someone with a military or government background. Sam Wilson is present with an apparent injury based on the arm sling he is shown wearing too.
Who Died For Captain America 4’s Funeral Scene?
The tease of a funeral in Captain America: New World Order looks to be significant based on the characters assembled to remember whoever died. One possibility is that these characters are visiting the tombstone of Steve Rogers. The MCU has not resolved what happened to Steve after Avengers: Endgame, but there have been teases that he could be dead. Captain America 4 could directly answer this question by revealing that Chris Evans’ MCU character did die, paving the way for an even more emotional Sam Wilson storyline.
Betty Ross’ presence at Captain America 4‘s funeral is quite notable when considering who could have died. Thunderbolt Ross can likely be ruled out unless Marvel Studios is planning a big surprise and filming the movie out of order. Due to her rather limited confirmed history with MCU characters, Captain America: New World Order could reveal more about what happened to Liv Tyler’s Betty Ross since The Incredible Hulk through the funeral.
The most plausible option is that these Captain America 4 set photos show a funeral for someone who died during one of Sam Wilson’s Captain America missions. That would explain the injury that he has sustained, while Betty could attend if she knows her father is somewhat responsible for what happened. This might mean that the Captain America: New World Order funeral scene does not kill any major characters but still plays a pivotal role in the story.
