‘Captain America: Brave New World’s Julius Onah On Why He Thanks Octavia Spencer In Movie Credits
deadline.comJulius Onah is the director behind Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World, and in the “Special Thanks” credits, there was a shoutout to Octavia Spencer.
Moviegoers had to watch all the credits to see the end-credit scene of the Anthony Mackie-starring film. Close to the end, Onah included the Oscar-winning actress in the credits despite Spencer not appearing in the film. “Octavia’s the greatest,” Onah told People about including Spencer in the credits. “I’m such a fan of hers, and when the conversation was being had about this film, she put in some kind words for me with Kevin Feige and had spoken to Mackie as well.” He continued, “She’s just a genuinely kind, incredibly talented human being, and I wanted to really acknowledge what a great supporter she’s been of me and other filmmakers in the past.
There was no way I was gonna miss the opportunity to say thank you to her.” Onah directed Spencer in 2019’s Luce, in which she co-starred alongside Naomi Watts, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Tim Roth.
The filmmaker recently told Deadline he would be working with another Luce alum. Onah said he would work with Harrison Jr. on a Basquiat project he has been developing for many years.
