Frank Grillo: The MCU Is Done With Crossbones!

According to actor Frank Grillo who played Crossbones in Captain America will NOT be returning to the MCU. Read on…

CelebnMovies247.com reports the Marvel Cinematic Universe had announced its intentions to expand onto television which would have made a place for Frank Grillo’s Crossbones.

After all, the actor is a proven action star with lifelong martial arts training that also happens to be ripped as hell even at 55 years old. Brock Rumlow/Crossbones had a direct connection to Captain America and a really cool costume to boot.

Frank Grillo admitted shortly after Avengers: Endgame was released that he still had five movies left on his contract with Marvel Studios.

It appears that it doesn’t sound like there are any plans for Kevin Feige to use up those options.

Despite recently confirming that he’d be voicing Crossbones in multiple episodes of the upcoming animated series What If…?, it seems as though the Kingdom star isn’t waiting by the phone.

Frank said:

They’re done with me. Because of the way the stories wound up being told and just how big the stories became, the Crossbones of it wasn’t really part of the future of the Avengers.

The other ideal place for Crossbones to return given his HYDRA affiliation and ties to Bucky Barnes would be The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Then again, with plenty of wiggle room still left in Grillo’s multi-picture contract, it can’t be completely ruled out that Crossbones could be brought back one day in the future.

Grillo has no less than six movies set for release before the end of 2021 including Groundhog Day-inspired actioner Boss Level opposite Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis’ latest sojourn into VOD sci-fi Cosmic Sin.

We hope to see Frank Grillo back in the MCU as Crossbones. He is such a perfect villain.

Recently, Chris Evans responded to rumors that he’ll be returning to the MCU as Captain America.
