Marvel Insists on Liv Tyler's Presence on the Set of Captain America: Brave New World, Despite Her Appearances Suggesting Otherwise
In the messy world of "Captain America: Brave New World," Liv Tyler's return as Betty Ross stirred up some confusion. Contrary to whispers circulating about her limited presence or even her potential exclusion from the movie during reshoots, director Julius Onah made it clear that Tyler's character held a pivotal role in the film's emotional arc.
Tyler's contribution to the emotional narrative was significant, especially as the estranged daughter of Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford, who grapples with his presidential duties and personal gripes. This strained relationship dances on the edge of the dramatic climax, where Ross's transformation into the Red Hulk takes center stage.
But the scenes featuring Betty were a curious mix of vagueness and intensity. In the phone call scene, Tyler's dialogue was concise and stunted, making her responses feel oddly detached. Nevertheless, Disney confirmed that Tyler did voice record the dialogue for that scene, denying any suspicion of its authenticity being manipulated using technology like Respeecher or splicing.
Regarding the final scene, Baker visited Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford on set, leading some to wonder if her presence was merely represented by a body double. Once again, Disney refuted this claim, revealing that Tyler actually filmed with her co-stars.
This peculiar situation isn't unheard-of in Marvel productions. Actors often have to grapple with the mysteries of filming, unsure of who or what they're acting against due to the fragmented production process. The Oscars' most popular hero arenas can sometimes resemble nearly-empty soundstages, with actors left guessing their surroundings and co-stars.
In the end, Liv Tyler's long-awaited return to the MCU turned out to be less bizarre than it initially seemed. Her intricate performance continues to add emotional depth to the story, despite the shadows and strange echoes that sail through "Captain America: Brave New World."
