The first official trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has arrived , and while it shows off plenty of glimpses at Giancarlo Esposito's character, it still doesn't identify him by name. But the online rumor mill moves quickly, and some fans think they've figured out who he might be playing - and if it's true, it's a character who originated in the world of the X-Men. If the guesses are correct - and there's every reason to think that's possible - Giancarlo Esposito may in fact be playing GW Bridge, a former ally turned enemy of none other than Cable, the leader of the original comic book X-Force team who was played by Josh Brolin in Deadpool 2.
So who is GW Bridge? And how does he connect to both the mutant side of the Marvel Universe, and to Captain America's larger mythos? Despite not being a mutant himself, GW Bridge first appeared in X-Force #1 by co-creators Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld. And yes, GW does indeed stand for George Washington, though he prefers to go by 'GW Bridge' to avoid comments about his name (as a person named George, I kinda relate - and that's even before you add the 'Washington'). Bridge was an ally of Cable's in Cable's pre X-Force days, when he was the leader of a mercenary team known as the Six Pack, which also included four other members, naturally: Kane, Hammer, Grizzly, and Domino (played by Zazie Beetz in Deadpool 2), some mutants and some not.
While on a mission for an arms dealer known as Mr. Tolliver, Six Pack was decimated by Ca.
