Frank Grillo reflects on Crossbones’ MCU exit: “I would have loved to continue”

nme.com:

Marvel Cinematic Universe. His character, the HYDRA operative Crossbones, was killed off by Scarlet Witch in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War.“I had such a good time making Winter Soldier” the New York born actor told NME. “I thought it was a phenomenal film.

Not just a great Marvel film, but a great film. My contract was for seven movies and I really did my research into who the character Crossbones was.

But they wanted the character to be shaped differently in the films. I would have loved to continue and be a bigger part of what they were doing, but it wasn’t part of my journey.”Grillo did confirm, however, that he has resurrected Crossbones for the forthcoming Disney Plus exclusive, What It?.
